Chapter 8: She’s warm

"Riley, get your disgusting hands off her before I kill you," Asher said, walking through the broken doorway. "I told you in the office she was mine you little shit. She belongs to me and me alone." "And I told you,u snowflake, I don't care, she's the Maid, en she belongs to us." "We will all fuck her and breed with her. We will have more purebloods because she will give us more." Riley yelled back. "That's not how this wo,rks and 'we' won't be breeding; her one of us will. The only one who can have her will be me." "We'll just have to see about that, won't we?" Riley sneered with a nasty, malicious grin. "I swear, I'm going to kill you one day." Asher violently growled at Riley. Violet was shaking in the corner of the bed farthest away from the two fighting vampires. "What did he do to you?" Asher growled, his eye flickering from red to silver. Sympathy made his heart ache. It was a strange feeling, giving a damn about how she felt. He never cared about anyone's feelings. Violet just shook her head and sobbed in a fetal position. She was too traumatized and too terrified to move or even respond. She couldn't stop feeling Riley's hands touching her skin. Asher charges at Riley, sacking him at his waist, taking him. Loll to the ground, they begin to Fight. Asher grabs His shoulders, slamming them to the floor; both of their fangs extended. Asher smashed Riley's face with his fist. "You unworthy piece of shit don't fucking touch her." Asher was yelling with a fury she couldn't believe existed. Asher was defending her? But for what cause? Certainly not for the care and consideration of her. It was just because she was his possession, and he just didn't want to share. It wasn't love that drove his actions, but jealousy. Asher hit his face over and over, and his nose and mouth were leaking blood. His teeth were red from Asher's fist pummeling him. After a solid 2 minutes of a solid beat down by Asher. Riley lay there laughing. A laugh. Was he some kind of psychopath? Gabriel walked in after noticing the broken door on his way up the stairs to his office. "That's enough, you two, you look like children fighting over who gets the last cookie," Gabriel said with a look of disgust and disappointment. "Riley you will keep your hands and dick off her until she is ready. If you touch her before it's time, I will personally nail you to a stake out front, and wait for the sun to rise and watch it burn you to a crisp." Asher just stood up and looked at Gabriel. "You guys are animals." "Then what does that make you,u dear brother? A beast?" Gabriel, pick her up and take her out of here and get her cleaned up. She smells like shame and fear. Frankly, it reeks," he said, plugging his nose and leaving the room. Asher comes over to Violet and picks her up. Holding her in his arms, this time she didn't flinch; she just silently wept, listening to the sound of his heart beating. "Let's go, come on, you're okay now, I've got you."She couldn't find it in her to muster any strength to reject or accept, so she just surrendered to him, turning into pudding in his arms. Asher brings Violet back to his room. She would always be safe there. He couldn't Explain what it was about her that drove him mad, but he would do anything for her. Burn the world for her. Why did he feel that way? None of the other girls he's had have made him feel that way, not even close. He lays her down on his bed, and he goes to his closet and grabs a large black T-shirt. He takes a seat on the bed beside her. "I'm going to take off your dress. It has blood on it, and it doesn't look very comfortable to sleep in," Asher says. She doesn't protest; she just lies there, staring off into space, looking completely disconnected from reality. Having been drained of so much blood, she was exhausted. Her emotions are all over the place. She was just so tired, she didn't care right now. She just wanted to rest in peace and feel safe. He pulls her u, and she leans on him. Barely able to keep her back straight so she can sit up to dress herself He pulls her dress up over her body he sees her panties are gone. The sight of her like this enraged him all over again. It was all he could do not to head to Riley's room and rip his throat out. He already knew what happened; he busted in on them, but seeing the evidence that he touched her. He hurt her. He was going to kill Riley one day. If it was the last thing he did. The bra gets stuck on the dress and comes off with it. And unlike last time, he can see all her breasts as they bounce from being lifted out of the bra. She was so tiny but sowwell-shapedhe fit perfectly next to him. Looking down at her, she was lying on his chest, her eyes closed, her pink nipples hard from the coldness of him. He pulled his blackshirt over her head and lay her down, pulling the covers over her. His shirt swallowed her. She looked so vulnerable and frail lying before him. She did smell amazing. Asher hated that his brothers had tasted her before him. Ravaged her like she was a piece of meat. He hated that he had to share her; it made Asher want to kill his brothers. He's never felt so territorial in his life. What was so special about her? Whatever it was didn't matter. She belonged to him. She was his and would protect her at all costs. He crawls under the covers and into the bed next to her. He wasn't tired; he just wanted to be close to her, feel her warmth, her heartbeat, just all of her. Breathing in the smell of her. He lay with her the rest of the night. Finally falling asleep with her safely in his arms. Violet, feeling safe in his arms, was able to actually sleep, sleep well enough, her blood replenished, and once the sun had risen and set again, her body was stronger. Waking him from his sleep was a banging on the door. "Get up, both of you, get ready for school." It was Gabriel. "It's Violet's first day, and we don't want to be tardy on our first d, ay now, do we?" Vio, let now awake, she takes in her surroundings. She was in Asher's room. His room was clean. It even had a sense of calm in here, despite his aggressive and domineering demeanor. There were tall windows with heavy black curtains. His bed frame was s i, over, b, ent and carved with an antique design. His dressers were black and silver. His carpet was white. A bookshelf was in the far corner next to his desk, and so many books lined the shelves. The desk had a computer with speakers, a keyboard, and a microphone. He had pictures in monochrome on the wall, one of the city with people walking on a street, it was in black and white with only the stop light showing red. Another was a forest with two red birds in a tree. There was a desk in the corner with a computer, speakers, a keyboard, and a microphone. His room was nothing like you'd think looking at him. "Alright, let's gupu.p. I'll walk you to your room and then meet you downstairs with the rest of them." Asher walked Violet to her door. "You can call me Ash. That wasas all he said, leaving her at her doo,r returning to his room. Violet locks her door. "A sh," she says a lot. His name on her tongue gave her stomach butterflies. He was so confusing. One moment, he hates her; the next, he's trying to kill his brothers over her. Turning to her bed, she sees a dry cleaning bag out for her with shoes and a bag. She walks over, running to unzip the bag to find her new school uniform. Which was had a black blazer, a white, long-sleeved, button-up collared shirt, and a cream sweater vest that went over the shirt and under the blazer. A black, red, and white pleated plaid skirt. White high socks and black flats with a strap over the top of her foot. She had almost forgotten about starting at a new school. A school of vampires, wolves, witches, and warlocks. Vampires and wolves attended school not really to learn things, but to socialize more than anything. It's a way to keep the peace between the night citizens. They Learned magic, history, art, science, language, music, and pretty much anything you could think of, this school probably had it to offer. Violet was so excited to check out her classes and make new friends. She will be attending the night school where she's the only non-magic human. She takes a deep breath in, holding i,t and looks at herself in the mirror.r After letting it all out, she smiles, "It's okay if I can live here, and juggle five men. I can handle everything any school has to throw at me." She sounded so matter-of-fact with her words and did a fist pump. As she gets ready for school, she notices, this may be the longest she's been alone since moving here; she's been surprisingly undisturbed. She showers, cleaning her body from yesterday's horrific events, applies her up, and she's getting ready. She keeps hyping herself up. Checking herself out in the mirror, she does a little twirl and claps her hands, giddy for the exciting new night. Before leaving, she looks back at her room one more time and smiles. "It's going to be a good day." Violet closes her door. Heading downstairs, and sees Oliver, Jeremy, and Ash. She halted, her courage wavered as she became overwhelmed by her mixed feelings when she saw the 3 standing there waiting for her. She takes in another deep breath before walking into the room.
