"Okay, enough drinking for now!" Gregory pushed me away from him slightly.
I almost didn't let go of him because his blood made me quench my thirst as well as satisfy my hunger. But I never thought that I would see his memories from my vision from drinking his blood. It's so vivid as a dream but the only difference is that it was his memory.
Gregory wiped his blood from my lips clean with his thumb. I feel like a child who needs to be taken care of by an adult. But I like the gesture and I can get used to it. Nobody has taken care of me ever since my grandma passed away. But it's too much to ask from anyone until Gregory.
"Welcome to my world!" Gregory said to me, smiling sweetly.
I wasn't able to take a good look at him when we were on the other side. Maybe because I was so focused on Angel at that moment. Plus the fact that I was supposed to be dead. The angel of death came to bring me to the afterlife. But Gregory stops it from happening and Angel just disappears.
Gregory is about six feet tall and he has a lean body. He looks like a model from a runway because of his charms. His skin is pale white like snow. It's probably because there's no blood running through his veins. He has jet-black hair that almost touches his shoulders.
He's too perfect to be real. But here he is sitting in front of her, smiling. He has a deep set of dark brown eyes that look enchanting. Anyone who looks close to them will feel like they are floating. I'm not an exception because the more I look at his eyes, the more handsome he gets.
"Hey, baby! Are you okay?" He asked with his deep and sexy voice.
"Huh? Yeah..." That's all I can say.
Gregory laughed at my reaction and hugged me. It feels like he's so amazed at how I responded to him. Like I'm very special and the only one who can make him smile. I feel confused about how a vampire can be so affectionate and nice to me.
"You feel so warm!" I exclaimed, noticing that he feels like a human.
Gregory let go of me and kissed my cheek. After that, he looked me straight in the eye as if he's about to cry. He seems to be so emotional for a vampire. But seeing him like this made me feel guilty about calling him a pale vampire earlier. He looks at me as if he loves me!
"I just drank some blood earlier before I went to see you, that's why I'm warm." He explained.
"I also drank your blood. Is that mean…" I can't get myself to finish my question.
"Yes, baby! You're a newborn vampire now." He confirmed what I'm not sure if I want to hear.
"Alright, you have to stop calling me baby! It's making me uncomfortable." I suggested.
"But you are a baby! You're a newborn vampire. I created you and let you drink my blood." He explained in too many details.
"Let's also stop talking about drinking blood. It feels too weird for me." I replied.
"Sure, I'll give you some time to adjust. But for now, you have to change your clothes." He agreed.
Gregory got up and pointed to the dress that he wanted me to wear before walking towards the door. I also get up and check the dress to see how it looks. I picked it up and realized that it's a bridal dress without the veil. That's why it looks so white from afar.
"What's this?" I asked before Gregory could leave.
"That's your wedding dress. We're going to be married right now!" He replied casually and left.
I was left in shock after hearing what the vampire just told me. Sure, he mentioned me being his bride from the other side. But I didn't expect that the wedding would happen right away. I just woke up from traveling with the other side and drinking blood for the first time.
It looks like I don't have a choice but to wear this white dress since I'm at the mercy of that vampire. So I take off my clothes and change into a bridal dress. It's a perfect fit and I bet it looks good on me. So I look for a mirror but I don't see any inside this room.
I decided to just get out of the room and look for Greg. It's a huge place that seems to be a mansion judging from its size. I almost fall to my knees when I get out of the room. This place is not just big but the ceiling is also high. As if she's inside a cathedral or a big church.
"Greg! I'm already here." I announced loudly to make sure that he would hear me.
"Wow, you look so beautiful!" Gregory exclaimed the moment he saw me.
I would blush if I'm still human because I can feel that my cheeks feel warmer. He's been so nice to me since I woke up. Now, his compliment makes me feel embarrassed. I didn't even see myself in the mirror yet. Maybe I should ask him.
"Thanks. Where's the mirror? I don't see anything from the room." I asked.
"We don't use mirrors because we can't see our reflection there anyway." Gregory laughed.
Realization hits me and I just remember that vampires don't have a reflection from the mirror. It will be challenging to know how I look now since I can't see myself anymore.
"Where are we?" I asked instead while trying to forget about the mirror issue.
"It's the Cathedral of Saint Andrew," Gregory replied.
That's why it's so huge and the ceiling is high!
"Why are we here?" I asked, confused.
"I told you, we're getting married right now," Gregory told me and I froze.
It's a surprise marriage and I never thought that Gregory was serious about it. But since we're already in the chapel, I don't have a choice but to play along. There were about six vampires who attended our wedding ceremony. They all look like couples and ready to catch me in case I change my mind about it.I'm not sure if the priest is human though. But he looks stoned the entire time. Maybe Gregory hypnotized him or something. He's not pale to be a vampire so I concluded that he's human. I absent-mindedly touched my neck where Greg bit me while I was asleep from my dorm."Do you, Gregory Duke, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked in a robotic tone."I do!" Gregory replied to the priest.
Waiting for a destined lover for 500 years has never crossed my mind when I met Gregory from the other side. That was just yesterday and now, we're already married.I've learned that for vampires, it's more important for them to have a companion. Our marriage is not exactly because of love like humans were trying to accomplish.Vampires don't have to worry about the need to have children. All they have to do is to bite someone and give them their blood. That's how newborn vampires like me were created.After the wedding, Gregory left me by myself inside the room where I woke up earlier. I'm not sure what I have to do now that I was left alone. After becoming a vampire, I already feel bored.I
"Gregory! Don't ever do that again!" I firmly said when I realized that it was him.I can see him smirk with his white teeth and fangs protruding from his luscious lips. It made me think about how those lips will feel on me besides my lips. We already kissed twice before so I have an idea that they taste sweet."What are you doing here? Let's get back outside!" Gregory said and took my hand.My thoughts about how his lips tasted made me feel embarrassed. How come I have to think about that the moment I see him? But I tried to hide my thoughts and just followed him with one hand on his.I have never been so close to a guy before and I can’t help but feel as if I’m blushing. That&rs
Learning how to be a vampire is not easy. I thought that all I needed to know was how to hunt for food. But it’s more than that because there are restrictions now that I'm already a vampire.Gregory is very patient in teaching me and I appreciate that. But there are times that it gets on my nerves. I didn't know that I needed to learn the vampire's way of living.I have to act like a proper lady whenever the vampires gather. I disagree since we are all bloodsuckers there anyway. But Gregory has a status quo to uphold and I have to protect it as well as his wife.There are times that I don't even want to join their grand get-together. Although I'm not sure if Gregory will allow me to avoid it. I don't want to know how he will react if I dec
Gregory approaches me and the "Nuno" steps back right away. I can see the fear in their eyes as they look at my husband."Mary, you have to run, he's a vampire!" One of the "Nuno sa punso" informed me.They are smaller than dwarves but bigger than fairies. Some urban legends say that they have supernatural powers and they are magical by nature."Don't be afraid, he's my husband!" I laughed with their ignorance."Really? You must be a vampire now!" The older Nuno concluded."Yes, I'm a newborn vampire. So don't worry, you know I wouldn't hurt anyone!" I explained.
A few days had passed after I saw Gregory talking to Angel. I don't dare to ask my husband about it. He's already too sensitive about my feelings for him. I don't want him getting jealous of the grim reaper.No matter how curious I was, I chose to keep my questions to myself. After all, we are going to Romania in a month. That's where the vampire council is located.Since I'm a newborn vampire, I need to prove myself to the council. Every new vampire needs to show themselves according to Gregory. That's why I have to be there along with him.There was a case before when a lot of newborns emerged. They end up being mindless creatures with a massive thirst for blood. The council was made to take control.
"What are you talking about?" I was surprised by her reaction. "I'm your husband's ex-girlfriend. Don't you ever feel insecure that I'm here?" Victoria asked. We're still standing in front of the door where she was supposed to stay. Our conversation seems to be going nowhere. Why should I be jealous of her? Sure, I'm aware that she was Gregory's ex-girlfriend. But I don't think he will let her stay here just to make me jealous. "Sorry, I'm not the jealous type! Get in so you can be more comfortable." I dismissed myself. Victoria raised one eyebrow and looked unconvinced. But I just ignored her and went down to the stairwell. I need to get some fresh air from that conversation. Or should I say,
I ended up being alone by myself in this huge place. Not that I'm jealous about Gregory tagging along with Victoria. I just hate staying in this cathedral by myself. The night is still young and for sure, they will be back by dawn. I don't plan to stay in the bedroom like a sore loser. I have to get out of this place and try to enjoy my alone time. It's been just a month since I became a vampire and Gregory's better half. But I feel like we have been married for a long time now. It seems that he's fine leaving me alone. I hate myself for thinking this way but I can't stop it. Before Victoria, all of Gregory's attention is on me. But all of a sudden, I just feel that I suddenly turned into an outcast!
