Alex’s face was filled with astonishment. Never in his life did he imagine Abigail offering herself to him like this. And this was exactly what his body was dying for right then. It made his body burn with a fire that he never felt before. Just the sight of her naked, slender neck was enough to elevate his thirst to the highest degree, making him feel that not drinking her blood right then would definitely make him burst into flames.
His blood boiled in his veins, scorching hot, burning his throat. The loud thudding of his heart had turned into background music. His head was getting hazy and all his senses were screaming for her blood, his Abigail’s blood.
He cursed and cursed inside him, his rationality trying to overcome his demonic instincts, but his body still moved closer, and his head drew closer towards her nape. Her scent and the smell of her blood was so intoxicating that even his brain wavered as it registered how impossibly good it was.
As he moved closer, Abi closed her eyes, taking in a sharp breath as she waited for him to bite her. Her heart was thudding hard but she wasn’t scared. She felt like she was ready for this. She was somewhat thankful that Zeke had told her about this beforehand so that she could mentally prepare herself for this moment.
Time seemed to have slowed down. His ragged breath now touched her skin. She felt him open his mouth and Abi held her breath as a pair of cold, sharp objects - his fangs, she deduced correctly - pressed against her skin.
Abigail was ready to feel the sharp pain of her skin being pierced but nothing came. Abi was instead jolted backwards because Alex pushed her, causing her to crash into Zeke.
When Abi opened her eyes due to shocked surprise, Alex was holding her at arm’s length. His trembling hands were gripping her shoulders hard. He gnashed his teeth, his fangs were out and his eyes were glowing blood-red. He looked like he was in so much pain that Abi’s heart could only break from seeing him look like this.
"Take her away... Zeke..." he uttered, his voice deep and forced as he shoved her into Zeke’s chest.
Abi shook her head. "Alex please... it’s okay. I’m really fine with it. I’ll be fine," Abi protested.
"No!" he hissed, not giving in. "Don’t worry. I’ll be fine once the sun rises," his voice died down before he peeked through his wet hair, flashing a forced smirk at her. "I’ll just go and... and search for that jellyfish. I’ll be fine once... once I find him, I think," he said. He slowly let her go but Abi grabbed him once again and wrapped her arms around his waist, gripping him as tightly as she could.
