Tobias sighs. “What do you want to know then?” He asks.
Now, he wants to talk, really this wouldn’t even have become a thing, if he had just told me yesterday instead of running from me and hiding in the room like a coward.
“Did you kill her?” Theo and Tobias look at each other, clearly wondering where I got that information. “Well, did you?” I ask again before they can ask where I had heard that information.
“Tobias did,” Theo answers.
“Why?”
“Because she lied, we thought she loved us and we were going to mark her, then we found out she was with another vampire and she was just using us, so one of us would change her and give her immortality.” Says Tobias.
I can hear the anger in his voice. Feel it through the bond; this is a topic he doesn’t like speaking about.
“So, Tobias lost control and snapped her neck, she was human. This was also over a hundred years ago, Imogen, not recent and certainly not an issue you need to worry about.” Theo states.
They killed her, and I don’t know how I felt about that…
“How long were you married for and why didn’t her boyfriend just change her?”
“Because he was part of the council and he couldn’t, his parents wouldn’t allow it, this is also one of the reasons the rules around humans are enforced. Bianca was going to out us if we didn’t change her. So instead we killed her, we were together for about six years,” answers Tobias.
Six years? They killed her after being with her for six years. I feel nauseous, knowing they could kill her like she meant nothing, after loving her for six years. I barely know them; will it be easy for them to kill me? “So that’s why the council is against humans, because of her?”
“Not just her, but if we went around changing anyone we wanted the world would be overrun with vampires and shifters, and that would not be a particularly good world to live in. We prefer to stay in the shadows. One thing humans are good at is making species become extinct, experimenting on things they can’t understand, or trying to replicate it. It is safer for everyone, if humans don’t know of our existence.”
I nod, understanding what he means. There would be people like Bianca, coming out of the woodwork tempted by immortality. “I don’t understand. You said Theo was changed, and yet you were born, but you can make me like you?”
“Yes, vampires are made. They can’t procreate once they change because their bodies don’t change, males can technically impregnate a human, but no vampire woman would be able to bear children, their bodies no longer compatible to give birth. Werewolves can procreate, meaning males and females can have children together and a male vampire can impregnate a werewolf creating a hybrid. Which is frowned upon so rarely happens. Werewolves’ bodies can change because we can shift, so all she-wolves are still fertile. I can still change you though because our blood is like a venom. If you have enough in your system it will alter your DNA making you like me.” Tobias explains.
“Me on the other hand, you only need a drop of my blood for me to change you,” adds Theo.
This is a lot of information at once. I don’t know if I actually prefer to be in the dark about it. Seems too unreal to make sense. “And If I don’t want to change?”
“You know that’s not an option, you will be forced eventually, the council already found out about you.”
I stare, stunned and also a little scared of this human hating council.
“Our parents are going to speak to the council to buy more time, just means we might have to take you before the council and ask for permission to hold off on changing you. If they agree, and we can find a way to convince them, things don’t have to change for now, but they will change Imogen. You will change.” Tobias words leave no room for argument; he isn’t going to let me die, at least not of old age.
“I have another question then.” They both nod, waiting for me to ask but something with this whole Bianca situation still rubs me the wrong way.
“If your wife is dead, why did you instantly think of her when I asked what you and Theo got up to out here?” They both look at each other nervously.
Theo answers for him. “She lived here with us. We only moved back here when we found out you were our mate. We hadn’t been back here since she was killed.”
I don’t know what to think of his answer, it creeps me out slightly. Am I destined for her path, to end up dead, like her?
“That won’t happen, Imogen. You’re different, don’t compare yourself to her,” Theo tells me after invading my personal thoughts.
“Stay out of my head, Theo. You have no right to know what I am thinking.”
He doesn’t look happy but keeps his mouth shut. I eat the rest of my breakfast before getting up. I leave and sit on the couch and flick the TV on before remembering they don’t have service out here and I have already watched the majority of the movies.
