Pain Without Love by K Lime (best books for students to read txt) 📕

October looked up from her book. English class was rather boring to her since she had taken this same class about 40 million times. Not to mention she had top of her class everywhere she went. A name was just a name and this was just another school. But this time it was different.

~Flashback~

She could feel that her mate was here the day that she and her sister had walked into the door. She immediately had called her brothers and her best friend who were running a bit late. Violet had been happy for her. So had Angelita. But that all was about to change when she realized just who said mate was.

The moment she had seem him she could feel her fangs lengthen a little. It was already hard to hide them but oh wow that was really hard. But she looked to her sister so she could point him out only to see her sister staring at him as well. Not great. Her sister had ignored her mate for a long time wanting to have some fun first. October could tell the boy was a mortal and when it came to Violet he wouldnt be alive when she was finished.

"Violet." October growls softly.

"What Halloweeny?" Violet asks her softly using her nickname.

"The one you happen to be undressing in your mind is my mate."

"What?" She replies shocked.

"You heard me."

Violet looks from him to her sister. One what the heck he was popular her sister just was not. And two damnit!

"Alright. I will leave it."

~End Flashback~

"Alright class today we have a new student. His name is Jacob Andrews. I want you all to give him a nice warm welcome."

October about died. If that was possible for one of the undead. The boy was the one she had bitten when he was little. Her fledgling had come to her. Well not technically. He had just moved schools. He looked around before taking the only open seat. The one next to her.

She tried to ignore him. Would he notice it was her? She still looked the same. She looked up to see her brother Paul looking at her pointedly. Violet gave her a look before passing her a note.

"Looks like i found a new play thing."

October growled softly earning her a look from Jacob. She quickly responed with a rather harsh hell no and passed it on.

"I know who you are October." Jacob whispers to her softly.

That was it. She was doomed. He would hate her. Kill her if he tried. Oh crap she was fucked. She glanced desperately at her brother but he smiled and shook his head before telling Violet the seemingly clueless one about the situation.

"How do you remember me childe?"

"That night never leaves my mind."

"You wish to kill me then?"

"No."

October starts and looks up at him. He was not the sweet innocent child she remembered. He had grown. He had slightly wavy hair that was neat and a slight beard. His eyes were the things that gave away his knowledge. He was really smart. She could see it.

"Why?" She asks sounding almost hurt.

"October there is no love without pain. As what you are your love is harder to find. You could have to wait for years and years and it never comes. I understand fully why you did what you did. And for allowing me this gift i thank you."

"You....Thank me?"

"Yes. You doing that was what made it so that i could live to here."

She shuddered. She had bitten him because his pull had been so strong that she had been confused as to if he was her mate. Now she knew it had just been a cry for help. But could he look to her as the sire that she was to him?

"You are my fledgling you know."

"Ive done my research."

"I can kill you."

"True."

"Are you not afraid?"

"No. You wont hurt me. You love me. I am in that sense your child."

"You live alone?"

"With my brother."

"Would he miss you?"

"If i left?"

"Yes."

"No. He wants me gone."

"You are living with my family and I."

"Why?"

"You have been my family since that night."

"Thank you. Do tell me. Have you found your mate?"

He almost gasps as pained eyes look up at him. The same eyes turn to the boy sitting beside her best friend. Had she been rejected? Had she never asked? Did her friend not know? He felt angry. Purely enraged. How could somebody hurt her? The most beautiful girl in the school? He wasnt just angry because what the boy did but because he was her fledgling. All fledglings had the connection to their sires.

"I am sorry."

"Don't be. He doesn't know. And he is a mortal."

"Does she know?"

"I don't know."

They look up and she looks to her brother who leans and says something to Violet in a loud but angry whisper. Violet whirls around to stare at October. Emotions cross her face before settling on one that seems to say "oh my I'm so soorry dear." October looks at her before nodding.

Jacob smiles. Mainly to himself. October had been the one the others had looked up to from the start. To betray her was almost as bad as betraying a sire. He looks at Voilet shaking his head. This was not his mate. She would not touch him.

"What class do you have next?" October whispers to him.

"Huh? Oh. Right. Let's see. Anatomy and Physiology."

"Let me see that?"

He hands her his paper. She smiles and looks at him.

"It would seem we are in the same classes. Don't worry. I have the same schedule as most of the people here. Only ones who dont are the jocks and those that are in band or another sport."

"Oh. I see. So the guy?"

"We have one class that isnt together. And he is my partner in one class."

"What class?"

"Chem."

"Ooooh."

"What?"

"And he is still clueless?"

"I haven't put off the signs."

"What? Why?"

"He would not accept them."

"He is your mate. He can't very well deny them."

"You know he can. I would rather keep him close than lose him."

"You shouldn't have to be that way."

"I know. But he is a player. There aren't many girls in the school he hasn't been with. He hasn't looked at me that way because I turn down the party invites."

"Go."

"Why? To hear him while he has sex with some unkept slut?"

"No. If you go you can use your whole mate pull thing to keep him from it."

"I can't do that unless I let him know."

"Doing that would let him know wouldn't it?"

"He would feel an overly strong pull towards me. If it just popped up he would be more likely to run from me."

"Does anybody know about well you know."

"Some students make fun of me because mine are noticeable. I have them fully retracted. They just are very long."

"I noticed. It's because of your bloodline."

"It is alright."

The bell rings and they stand up. October offers to show him to class. They walk off in that general direction without noticing that they are being watched.

Since some of you asked for a picture, this is Violet. 

Angelita watched October and Jacob walk away before finishing her conversation with Joe.

"So see if you invite him to the party I will have sex with you."

"You serious?"

"Yes. Invite him and October."

"Will they come?"

"She will if he does. They have met before."

"Fine."

"Come on babe you get me out of the deal."

"I do."

Angelita smiles at him before kissing him and walking off. Joe had been easy enough to trick. To get her mate alone would be much easier now. At least he would be her mate. Even if he didn't want it. And she honestly didnt care if she hurt October by mating with him. Maybe seeing him happy would make her happy instead of sulking.

Little did she know that her little plan was already going to hurt October...and possibly herself.

Later that day at lunch, Angelita's plan was being set into action.

"Hey Halloween!" Joe shouts as October walks past the jock table to see Angelita sitting not at her own table with the vampires but with Joe. On his lap.

She feels her heart drop and hears Jacob growl beside her.

"Here October let me take your tray to our table. I can get there on my own."

"No stay here newboy. I need to talk to you too."

October can feel her teeth now starting to lengthen in her anger. She looks at Angelita glaring at her coldly before answering Joe.

"What is it that you want Football?"

"Back to such mean terms October?"

"You called me Halloween."

"Alright. I'm sorry. Come to my party this weekend? Both of you."

"Yeah sure." Jacob says from behind her.

October turns and looks at him curiously before nodding her head in agreement.

"Good. I'll see you in Chem."

Angelita chooses this moment to accept a kiss from Joe not noticing the rage practically pouring off of October. As calm as she can October hands her tray to Jacob who walks away with it before coming to stand behind her.

"Angelita." October says with rage filling her voice.

Angelita and Joe stop making out and she looks at October pointedly like hurry it up.

"We need to talk." October stresses the words slightly.

"I'm busy."

A few of the jocks laugh but not Jacob or October. And now the rest of the vampires have walked over at hearing blatent disrespect to the one who had taken them all in. Angelita looks up at October as if fearing the reaction but not caring.

"I don't care that you are busy."

"And I dont care that you want to talk."

Jacob can feel it as Paul steps
