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

"You are awake."

She continues to glare at him before looking back out the window. He strides forward and grips her chin forcing her to look at him.

"Answer me. I am sick of your games. This is your last chance. That fire is gone from your eyes now. Maybe you have learned your place. I will feed you for now."

He tilts his head to the side looking at her. She growls before biting his neck. She drinks slowly of his blood. She only hadn't planned on one little thing. Arousal. The feeling was so thick you could feel it in the air.

He allows her to continue to drink but helps her remove her clothing and his own before biting her neck and beginning to drink before continuing with the mating ritual. She is so blood thirsty and love drunk she doesn't even realize the full problem until they are both hot sweaty moaning messes. She gasps once they reach the top of that cosmic ladder. She realizes what she has allowed. Thorn had been no fool. He tricked her. But at this point it was too late. Her body had betrayed her into the ritual and now it was sealed. She would be stuck to him. Damn that October

She passes out as she begins to feel Thorn inside her mind. It was to late to fight it. She was his and she loved him. Why couldn't she just give up. She would be with Thorn. But October would pay.

Thorn looks down at Angelita. He smirks and looks at the picture of her on the wall. She was no longer the head strong angry beauty that he had created. She was his now. And she would learn her place.

Taking another glance at the picture he pulls the blanket over the two of them and roughly bites her causing wounds big enough to scar before laughing to himself and falling asleep. The beautiful hands in the picture were the same as they are now, but the wrists in the picture were different. The ones in the picture were beautiful marble skin clean of scars, the ones before him were already scarring over. She was marked as a traitor to her mate and nothing more than a whore who was lucky to be granted another chance. Her place was decided. But now was a time to wait.

October groans and rolls over only to bump into something hard. She pushes out an arm to shove it out of her bed. Whatever it was it didn't belong there. She pushes against it only to realize it is a person. Not a warm person so definately another vampire. But warm enough to be recently changed. What the hell did she do last night.

"Get ou my bed."

"You really aren't good just waking up are you?" A very male voice chuckles.

'The voice sounds familiar. Oh crap very familiar. So familiar I swear it would be Joe. Why is Joe in my bed? Oh man now I remember. Did we mate last night too?'

"Joe?"

"Yes October?"

"What did we do last night. I feel awful."

"Ha. No doubt. Don't worry I didn't do anything. You went a bit over board drinking. Jacobi had to get a few people to feed you. That was actually almost a week ago."

October jumps straight up from her position curled around Joe.

"A week ago!?"

"Yep. Today is Wednesday."

"That happened on last Friday. Holy hell."

"Enough with the language. Come back to bed."

"Why?"

"You're warm."

"Right."

"I could say you're cold."

"Close enough to the truth."

October lays back down and allows Joe to wrap his arms around her and pull her against his chest. She smiles at his smell and closes her eyes. A little nap would be nice.

"Don't think about it."

"What?"

"Sleep."

"Who said I was sleeping."

"I heard you in my head."

"Damn."

"Take a shower with me."

"I'm busy."

"Doing what humping my thigh?"

"Is that what that is?"

"Oh hush silly. Unwrap your legs from around my leg."

"But your so warm right there."

"Cause I have a fucking raging hard on. Cut it out."

"No. Feels good."

"If you won't let me fix it you fix it."

"No."

"Let me go fix it."

"No."

"Damn you."

"Already damned."

"You are awful."

"And you are horny. Now that we have that established I have a weeks worth of sleep to catch up on."

"You slept all week."

"Not naturally."

"Fix it."

"Hungry."

"Drink." Joe tilts his head slightly.

"If I do we are gonna have to finish that mating thing. You up for that?"

"Let's go."

"Perv."

She reaches over and latches onto his neck sinking her fangs in before sucking. His blood flows into her mouth all rich and irony. She moans as she feels little rushes of pleasure running through her body. Her mate. Her food. Damn Joe fix it.

'Working on it smart ass.'

'mmmmmm tastes soooo good.'

'Oh honestly I can't tell if you are talking to me or not.'

Joe slides on top of her and wraps his arms around her before pulling the covers fully over them...

Hours Later

"Guys get up. You have school soon." Paul's voice calls out to October.

She looks up at him from under the covers and slides out only to laugh as Paul quickly looks away. She hadn't realized she was naked. Oh well. too late now.

"If he is naked too I am leaving."

"You can bet that he is."

"Yep that's gross. I don't want to hear about your mating. We got to hear enough of it."

"Ew. Nasty. Alright you can look."

Paul turns and laughs when he sees her wearing Joe's shirt and some female boxers. He hugs her and congratulates her before reminding her she has school in fifteen minutes.

She gasps and rushes around getting dressed and ready before waking up Joe. Joe luckily only has October there since Paul left and follows October's choice of rushing around. They are both ready to go downstairs in about five minutes. They arrive down in the kitchen and get tons of cat calls.

"Have fun last night?" Tony laughs.

"Shut up Tony. I did. I really did."

"From what we heard it sounded that way."

"You guys could have just left."

"We did right about the part it kept going bed slamming into wall followed by oooh Joe."

"Shut up. Some of you have mated too."

"Not fully as in whole god damn thing like that."

"You're kidding."

As if to show proof they all hold up their left hands. Sure enough no tattoo. All fully mated vampires had tattoes on them in the place of a wedding ring. October looks down at her own hand and sure enough there in Joe's favorite color is the ink of her tattoo. On his finger the same except with her favorite color. Lovely. That would draw unessesary attention.

"Alright. I am heading to school. Joe come with me?"

"I will go with you forever."

"Good."

The couple heads for the door only to step outside into a different world.

To this day nobody knows why suddenly so many people just dissappeared. At the high school many say that the mysterious group of gothic kids killed everyone. It doesn't matter though. There is no proof of that. The vampires all just seemed to vanish. But they knew different.

When October and Joe walked out the door, they set off into the true vampire realm. October had opened the door in her long slumber. The vampires would finally have their own place. The family stayed the same for the most part after that. Some moved out into their own places. October of course still has all of her money and her houses. Or at least the last time she was heard from she did. Jacobi was reunited with Elicia and they had children of their own.

Jacob met his mate and lived a wonderful long life with her. They had one small daughter named Taylor. The boy they lost just months before birth.

Violet opened her eyes to how she had treated Charlie and they reconciled. Things didn't work well for a while but they managed to get through things.

The others managed just fine. Of course there was the occassional problem of Angelita being a problem, but nothing they couldn't handle.

Anglita was not even treated like an acceptable member of society in the vampire realm. Her once friends still hated her and she died shortly after killing Thorn in a fit of rage. Many rumors were started about how she died. Some said October took her revenge and killed her after Angelita killed Joe. Other's say Jacobi killed her. Some even say she just died.

Secretly October knew the story. She had left the vampiric world for the world with the humans. She and Joe were alright of course and he went with her. They could travel in between the two. They had great lives and had many children and grand children. They even had some great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren. Then those children even had some great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren. Sadly though some time late in the mortal years of 12830s they grew tired of life and faded off of the face of exsistence together. Some say that to get your mate through the mate bond you would have to speak to October and Joe. Other's call this a mystery.

As for Jacobi he knew what had happened. The two had gone on so that no longer would the vampires live in a world of pain without love. They had their own world. One all of their own. And as for the young lovers that had set them free...well they were free in their own way to live finally a life that their ring said. To reverse the path of Pain without Love into a life of Love without Pain.
