CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE

Avilla's pov My aunt was true to her word, she was done and it appeared that she had been waiting for me for long now. "What took you so long?" She asked with her hands on her hips. "Just a call but I am ready now" I said. "Okay" she said and walked out the door. I followed suit making sure I locked the cabin door behind me. We walked to the beautiful beach, I took note of the very sexy men on the beach with us. I found us a spot close to the water and we set shop there. My aunt opened her bag and brought out wine bottle and two glasses for us. "Aunt Beatrice!" I gasped. She laughed a little. "You are eighteen and this is the only way we could bond well, over a drink" she said before pouring the drink. "I guess so" "Come on, drink up and spill all your secrets" she said when she handed me my glass. I sipped it a little, tasting the wine before I gulped down the whole thing. "Easy there, it's not water" my aunt said. "Sorry, just really thirsty" I apologized. "So tell me, what has been bothering you?" She asked. She immediately switched from fun aunt to the serious aunt who would beat up anyone. "So much has happened" I told her. "I know, I am here to listen" she urged me. "Well, you know Rohan rejected me" I said. She nodded at me "he came to me saying he regretted what happened and would love another chance to make it up to me, I accepted and we started hanging out together. It was amazing, I thought he was finally coming back to his senses and was serious about us being mated once and for all. But instead he showed me that he was still the selfish jerk be always was and will be." I told her. "Oh honey! He doesn't deserve you" my aunt said as she reached over to pat my head. 'Really?" I asked her in surprise. I really thought she was going to go with the whole, you guys are meant to be bullshit. But she just blew my mind. "Yes, I know he is your mate and all but maybe it is time for you to accept the rejection and move on with your life. There are so many things you don't know about yourself and maybe being hurt by some boy who doesn't realize what a rare gem you are won't help you discover those things" she said sternly. "I understand" "Good, now run to the bar and get more wine for us to drink." She said. I smiled at her and excused myself to go get her another wine bottle. The beach was so beautiful and peaceful, everybody here was minding their business and paying attention to what matters to them. I loved it. I got a text on my phone and I decided to peek at it, it was from Camilla. Guess what?! I grinned at my phone knowing she had some news for me. I tried texting back a fast reply when I bumped into a hard surface. A hand held me so fast before I could fall. "Oh God! I am so sorry, I should have looked where I was going. I didn't mean to..." My words died in my throats when I looked up at the unfamiliar face of a god. His eyes were the brightest shade of blue I have ever seen, his skin was radiant and he looked so hot in his black and black outfit. "Sorry?" I squeaked out. He looked totally unamused as he stared down intently at me. "What are you?" He asked. Oh! I think I just had his babies. His voice was smooth and deep. I wanted him to keep talking, that was until what he said sank in. "Excuse me?" I asked him. He looked taken aback as he stared at me with his pink lips parting a bit. "You are a wolf" he stated simply, ignoring my shocked face, he stepped closer to me to sniff my hair. "You smell good for a wolf" he said. "What?" I asked totally confused. Who is this man? "My name is Vladimir and I think you are my mate" he said casually. "What?!" I asked this time. He looked at me with his piercing blue eyes, he really was hotter than all the guys on this beach. He was hotter than Rohan. I didn't know why I was this attracted to him when I haven't accepted my rejection. He doesn't look like a wolf to me or I would have sensed it. "Who are you?" I asked again. "I am a vampire" he said bluntly. I froze right there, it was my every fantasy come to life, and you would think that I would be begging him to take me but all I could feel was crippling fear from seeing one right now. "Vampire?" I asked with my voice so little. "Yes, I am assuming you have heard of those before?" He asked with a smirk. "Don't be an ass" I snapped at him. His eyes widened a little but I paid him no attention. "Wolves and vampires don't mate" I stated the obvious. "I know that" he said deep in thoughts. "Um...I am going to go" I told him. He caught my hand as I turned to move away from him. A bolt of electricity moved through me so fast that I stumbled back into his arms again, he caught me the second time. What? "You feel that, don't you?" He asked. "Yes, I do but it can't be possible" I told him. "I know but you are my mate" he stated as a matter of fact. "Look, I don't know what you want me to do but I want to go get my aunt a drink, okay?" I told him sternly. He nodded at me but other than that kept mute, I walked past him and had only walked ten steps when I turned back and he was gone. Weird!
