Vamp Huntress Hunted by Mariana Mendoza (best thriller books to read txt) 📖

The sire was walking back and forward, utterly outraged. He must have been even more frustrated that I didn’t want to speak out his name.
“ How can you not tell me?” he practically yelled at me.
I was quiet for a moment, blinking a few times before answering.
“ Uh, because we were, uh, busy.” I muttered the obvious answer.
He blinked a few timed before his mouth made an o shape. Yet, despite that, he was still angry at me.
“ Well, why didn’t you try to tell me earlier?” he asked, still trying to blame me.
I blinked a few more times, not really understanding what his problem was with me. He was hot, he was a player, and he obviously can make any girl he desired fall for him. He had quite the charm. For some reason I was jealous that he could get whoever he wanted.
“ I did, moron, twice yet you just ignored me because we were, uh, busy.” I told him, folding my hands, already angry at him.
“ Don’t disrespect me, Kira.” he told me, the threat wasn’t really threatening.
“ Oh, sorry, I forgot I can’t call you a moron. What if I said moron boss, moron sire? That make you feel better?” I asked him.
He glared at me. Well, apparently that was my answer. I didn’t like it.
“ Don’t go all prissy bitch on me. I expect that of Sauda but not you.” I told him.
He looked at me as if I had slapped him. I shrugged and just sat there, on his bed, nervous and very scared. I wasn’t easily scared so the feeling still felt kind of new to me.
“ I have never heard you defend yourself before. Especially from me.” He told me.
“ I’m getting that a lot, the ‘ I never have seen you do this or that before’. Seriously getting annoying by the way.” I told him. He nodded understanding a little.
He suddenly shook his head a little then went back to being angry.
“ Ah, shit, ah, fuck, I have frigging major problem at my hands.” He said.
“ You got right.” I chimed in.
“ You’re not helping.” he growled at me.
“ I wasn’t trying to.” I muttered to the both of us.
“ I heard that.” he yelled at me.
I just clapped my hands then gave him a two thumbs up, a sarcastic ghost of a smile in my face.
“ Kira, you don’t understand. I’m the sire of Pensilvania, part of the state council, national council, and part of the international council. They’ll put pressure on me and tell me that I must try to catch her and kill the assassin. If I don’t, that’ll lower my rank in the council.” He said pacing back and forward again.
All three councils were made up of the strongest leaders of their race of mythical things that mostly went bump in the night. Each state had a state council but my sire was the one who represented the vampires of Pensilvania, and the US. There was a lot of pressure to that. If they said that he was going to have to catch The Ghost then he’ll have to. If he fails they might reconsider the vamp to represent the vamps of Penny and the US.
“ I’ll see what I can find out. You want me to go talk to the Penny werewolf pack and the witches and the others?” I asked him, trying to really be helpful this time.
“ Yes, and have your keepers walk to house’s perimeter as well as the whole city. Tell the wolves and witches to do the same if they wish.” he told me.
I nodded, agreeing.
“ Yes, ma’am, uh, sorry, I mean yes sir!” I told him in the loudest voice my mutters could go. I stood up and saluted him a little sarcastic and a little teasingly.
“ Don’t test me, Kira. I’m not in the mood for your sarcasm.” he told me.
“ I can’t leave your side of the killer is near, sire. And when I do leave, then you’ll have to stay inside the house, the house, sire, not the perimeter of our house, while I go do my business.” I told him.
He didn’t like it and neither did I but as the leader of the Keepers, I was also his second in command and his guardian. It was my job to protect him and be there when any other important people came to visit or if he was to go to the council.
“ I don’t need protecting but if it must be then fine, whatever. You can’t leave either, not unless you must. I need you at your highest. I’ll be calling the councils so go do what you must.” he told me.
I rolled my eyes and got out of the room.
Outside Kass, Sauda, and a few others were standing a little away from the sire’s bedroom door. They looked a little afraid and a little pity for me. They were right to pity me.
“ Heard it didn’t go well. But then he stopped yelling, we thought he grabbed you and killed me.” Kass said. The others nodded.
He did grab me but not in the way to harm me. I shook it out of my mind. I smelled the air around me. It smelled of me and the anger the sire had emitted. I was glad that the smell of anger was enough to cover the smell of the sire’s and my lust.
“ I’m going to go shower and go out.” I told them.
“ You can’t go out now, Kira.” he told me.
“ Why?” I murmured my question.
“ Theres only an hour until the sun comes out.” Suada explained.
Was it that late? I guess it was. I nodded, knowing that it wouldn’t be enough time to go to the weres’ and witches’ house and come back.
Before I made a move for my room, which was right next door to the sire’s I told my keepers what to do.
“ And Kass, I want you to go see if there is anything else Myles had missed.” I told him and went into my room. My room was white and black.
My curtains were black as well as my plasma TV, my drawer, and my make up table. The rest, my king size bed, my computer, my bathroom and my carpet, were all completely white. I had white sheets and white pillows. I has no pictures on my walls and the only thing that I did have was a ton of tiny stars that covered my ceiling.
I went to my closet and took out my towel robe and my white fluffy slippers. I then took my clothes off and left them in the floor. Just as I was turning the shower knob on and getting into the cool shower water, Kass enters my room.
“ I think I should go with you to talk to the other beasties.” he yelled out to me.
“ I don’t think so, Kass.” I told him in normal voice level, something that sounded more of a yell from me.
“ Why not? I’m your second in command. I’m supposed to protect you and help you, and protect you.” He said.
“ You’ll be doing the helping part then, when you’re done, you can do the protecting part.” I told him.
I massaged my hair and began to lather the rest of my body, trying to get rid of the blood Sauda had squirted at me.
I then got out, expecting that Kass would be gone by then. He wasn’t.
“ What else do you want?” I asked him.
He was looking at me with that same weird look that the sire had given me earlier. I was going to roll my eyes but I controlled myself.
“ What?” I murmured.
“ Fuck.” he whispered.
One of my eyebrows went up, a little amused and wary. Kass’s look was making me nervous. The look he had on was making my body react the same as when the sire had stared at me.
“ Stop.” I told him.
He got up and upright kissed me in the mouth. His tongue parted my lips.
This was how I looked.
- Outside: mildly surprised and completely still.
- In my mind: What the hell is he doing? I’m going to kill this wad of jerk in the— oh, his lips are soft. Wow, what a kisser. I can get used to this.
I moved my lips slightly but I quickly broke the kiss off, much as it hurt me to do so.
“ We, can’t, Kass. You’re my second in command and my friend.” I told him.
“ Go out with me, Kira. Be my girlfriend.” he whispered to me, placing his forehead against mine.
“ I can’t, Kass.” I told him. It wasn’t right.
God, what was it with kass and the sire today? Maybe they had caught the bug of like disease or they were just acting like bags— no, like a basket full of douchey, smelly shit. I didn’t know.
“ Please, Kira.” he whined, almost begged.
“ I can’t, Kass. I have things to do.” I told him.
“ Just say yes or no, Kira. Its that simple.” he told me.
But it wasn’t. I was confused. I liked both him and the sire. I couldn’t just choose like that. I was confused and I didn’t like it.
“ When will you tell me? If I don’t push you, you wan’t answer.” he told me, a little annoyed by now.
“ How about this: I’ll give you my answer when The Ghost is Captured.”
“ Does that mean never?” he asked me, not liking my bargain so far.
“ Fine, either when she is caught or when she leaves Penny.” I told him.
He didn’t answer for a while. but eventually he nodded.
“ Fine, we’ll do this your way.”
“ Like you had a choice in it?” I asked him, confused.
“ Shush, as I said, we’ll do this your way. I’ll be waiting for your answer.” he told me and then left my room.
I sighed and began to tuck myself under the sheets. I sighed, tired and confused and utterly energyless. Before I could even bother to think of what to do with Kass, I went into a dreamless sleep.

I woke up the next night when the sire called to me in mind.
Change of plans.
I was curious to what he meant by it. I took a quick shower and wore black skinny jeans, white top and a thin, grey jacket. I put on my new Converse and went out to meet the sire.
He was already downstairs and wearing black jeans and a black sleeveless shirt with his black boots and his black leather jacket. He looked really good in them. I imagined many things of what I could do to, or with, him. I thanked the gods again that I had very good control.
He looked up at me and slightly smiled. I wasn’t going to give him the pleasure to make me uncomfortable. I wanted for him to stop tempting me and just mow on to the next girl.
“ Whats the change of plans?” I asked.
“ I
