Capítulo 71: 31.I'll Be There For You.
I sat alone in my dimly lit office, the scent of stale coffee lingering in the air. The sound of shuffling papers filled the room as Alaric rummaged through my desk, muttering angrily to himself. His frustration grew clear as he nearly shouted at someone, insisting that he needed those papers more than I did. I could feel his irritation and desire to do his job, knowing that he bore the brunt of the paperwork burden. But the moment the satellite pictures, reports, lists, and threat assessments landed on my desk, they were swiftly snatched away by Alaric. I hadn't even had a chance to glance at them before he whisked them off.
Among the chaos, I still had to find time to focus on my own tasks. Typing up the kill lists was my sole responsibility, assigned to me by Chaos Kitty herself. There was no need to bother Mimosa with this particular duty. The names of those individuals weighed heavily on my mind as I typed them out, barely sparing a moment to be with my sleeping twins. Occasionally, Alaric, Wulfe, or Magnum would bring the twins to my office when they were awake, allowing me to fulfill my role as a mother, albeit briefly. Balancing these different facets of my life was far from easy, but I managed, as I always did.
It was during one of these chaotic days that Wulfe, using his telepathic abilities, sensed the kill lists in my mind. With a gentle touch, he plucked the information from my thoughts and handed it directly to Alaric, who efficiently typed them up and sent them off. Of course, Wulfe didn't always notice when multiple lists were crowding my mind, causing delays.
A day or two later, Magnum appeared at my office door, breaking my concentration.
"Hummingbird, it's your turn again," he said, reminding me we took shifts.
We had a new recruit, and it was my responsibility to conduct the initial interview. I inwardly groaned at the thought. This was a task we had agreed upon, but I despised it nonetheless. Nevertheless, I had done it before, and I would do it again. Magnum handed me a note with a hotel room and time, instructing me to assess the person's honesty through a series of sharp questions. I was to keep my identity hidden, or I could use the alias "the flea." It was a favorite trick of Miss Parker's, adopting my persona and referring to our organization as her own.
I usually didn't reveal anything about myself, but I went ahead with the interview process. If the person seemed suitable, the next step would be to meet with Magnum. He would test the candidate's physical ability because stamina and fitness were crucial for our job. While someone could improve their fitness, Magnum's assessment was an important filter for us. Next, it would be Murdock's turn to see if the person could handle a gun. It was a big red flag if someone was scared of it or lacked the necessary skills. Nerves of steel were essential for this job.
I noticed a reminder to start driving to my destination soon and hoped that it wouldn't take the whole day. I went to my car and drove to the hotel. I was wearing a t-shirt and velvet pants, deliberately projecting a young appearance to gauge people's reactions. Making them think I was almost a teenager made them less cautious and take me less seriously. Upon reaching the suite, I went in and took a seat, feeling quite relaxed.
I knew that Miss Parker wanted to meet in a cafe, while Jarod used parks, but I preferred hotels. We all had our own preferred meeting places. Jarod had mentioned to me that Mariella had the potential to become a pretender, and he knew she had a part of my ability. He thought she could be trained further, and I gave my blessing for it. Having another pretender would allow me to assign tasks to Mariella.
It was almost time, and the anticipation filled the air. I could hear the faint sound of footsteps growing closer to the door. A gentle knock echoed through the room before the door swung open, revealing a surprising sight. Number four stood there, wearing a simple t-shirt and jeans, exuding a relaxed aura. As he entered and closed the door behind him, he took a seat across from me, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, reminiscent of my beloved Damon.
I found my voice and asked, "Why do you want to be a part of my organization? Is it for Mariella?"
His gaze met mine, his head tilting slightly as he replied, "Oh baby, I've missed you. I know our mission took years, and it wasn't a perfect life. Mariella filled you in, I assume. Now, I'm a doctor with Samuel, and I believe my expertise could be beneficial to your bases and fieldwork. I can do more than just be a medic. I can be a doctor without any issues. I can handle tough situations, unlike Number One. My reason for wanting to be a part of this is you. I want to be a part of something you've built, something that was meant to be ours, but Damien prevented it. Now that Damien is gone, Number One has Mariella, and you have me. You're free now. We can get vampire married and start over, baby. It'll be you and me against the world."
I remained silent, carefully considering his words. While having him as a doctor would be a valuable asset, he was also stirring up emotions I had buried deep within me, and he knew me all too well. Was I setting myself up for heartache again?
He looked at me, his voice soft but dangerous, saying, "I can't stand the thought of Magnum, Wulfe, or Colin touching you. You are mine, even more so than Mariella. You know me, I fall in love easily, but I can also let go just as easily. But not with you. You're my soulmate, and I haven't felt whole since I lost you."
I hesitated before responding, "I'm not sure if that's a good enough reason for you to be a part of our organization. We might be in different places most of the time since I go on missions."
His voice, as seductive as ever, filled the room as he reassured me, "I'll be there to accompany you, to catch you, to treat you, my baby. And you know me when I'm in my doctor's mood, no mercy is given. You need someone to care for you, to love you, someone who knows you better than you know yourself."
He stood up, came at me, and pulled me to stand. He pressed me against the wall, pressed himself against me, looked deep into my eyes, and kissed me, my god, that kiss. He put absolutely everything into that kiss. I answered to that with fervor that I had no idea that I had. My hands were working like themselves, pulling his tee shirt apart, they were opening his jeans and he was ripping my clothes to shreds. He was still kissing me, nipping me, grunting, and pressing me against the wall. I could feel his hot, firm body against me, his hard thigh pressing between mine, forcing my legs open. My clothes had been ripped by him and his magic. We were kissing and biting each other.
I felt a hot hard cock plunging into my pussy; filling me, burning, and he did not give time for me to adjust at all. He was not asking, was taking me and showing me what he meant; he fucked me with passion, with feeling and he was just not using this as a gesture of dominance but there was a fuckload of feelings coming from him as our true soulmate bond snapped in place.
I was almost overwhelmed by all this, and he just let it all come to me, his need to have me how much he had missed me, how he loved me, and there was so much what we used to have it was almost heartbreaking to itself as well. He drank my blood; he marked me, fucked me. I was so full with his hard cock that plunged deep into my pussy felt no mercy and made me explode so hard that screamed out loud.
We end up on the floor, fucked there like a mad couple. in bed too, and there were quite many places in that hotel room we sanctified. I was lying on top of him. He was stroking me, kissing me, nipping me. I had no idea how long we had fucked.
He said to me, "Well baby, how about it? Did I get your approval?"
I said, "Yeah, you got my approval alright..."
He rolled me next to him, kissed me, and said, " I will be seeing you, baby."
He had given me a sheet from somewhere and he conjured clothes for himself and walked away. I lay on the floor for a little while, trying to wrap my mind around this. Our bond was so damn strong, I was not sure if had ever had this strong bond with Charles. I finally got up. I had spare clothes reserved here. This was our room. We owned this hotel, and this was reserved for us.
I went to shower. I was full of bite marks, and I somehow knew that damn Magnum had set me up, so might get some snide comments about these bite marks. I got myself clean enough, not going to advertise what I did here. My pussy was right about sore as he had not kept his dick small but as big as possible and his passion and need to have me, well he had taken me and we had our bond back on, stronger than ever. I dressed myself, letting my neurosis start to over-analyze this now.
Questions swirled in my mind. Even if he was the same, I was not, not by a long shot. Would he want me? He would soon enough see that I was no longer his baby. Or would Mariella get jealous? I would lose him again. And what about Colin? Would he be heartbroken when Salvatore snatched me again? So many questions, so many options, and as usual, not too many answers.
I walked up to my car. It was late at night. We had fucked for over 12 hours, well if we would have done like we used to do, it would have gone for weeks. I started to my car and put just a message of approval to Magnum. He did not comment but signed it just. Was I set up by my five, or what? this was so damn confusing. so freaking confusing, and it would take time for me to get my mind in order.
God knows I had work waiting for me, and I had to focus on my work and my babies. Would he want to be their daddy? How number one would see it? But then again, he had not really cared for children when they had been in that realm. I finally got to the base after letting my road rage come out and I swore over half a trip as the road was full of idiots, imbeciles with no license, and someone slower than a snail driving in front of me.
I exited my car and walked up the base, and as it was night, it was more quiet here. I quietly walked to my office. Sat behind my desk and soon my door was knocked, it was opened and Wulfe walked in. He smirked as he looked at me.
He said to me, "Yep, I was right. You were in need of some decent action, my unicorn."
I said to him, "You guys set me up. Fine, we fucked the hotel room more or less into bits. Room service will have a field day to try to find every place we fucked."
Wulfe smiled and said, "You see, it helped, but as usual, you are trying to twist yourself into knots over what happened. What if you just go with the flow, enjoy your state, and try not to think about the future quite so much?"
I said to him, "It's not so easy. There are so many factors to take into account."
Wulfe leaned back and said to me, "Like what? Let's talk about this then."
I said, "First, I am not the same as I was when I was with him, not at all. He might leave me soon enough when he notices it."
Wulfe said, "He has lived with you for decades. Even if this side comes out, he still remembers everything. He knows what and who you are. You want to believe that you have changed drastically, but believe me, none of us has changed that much over the centuries. This is something that I have firsthand knowledge of. Besides, you are better than you were."
I sighed and said, "Mariella might get jealous and take him, and I'll end up with my heart utterly broken again."
Wulfe said, "Nope, Princess does not want this one, not really. Again, telepath speaking here. Trust me, unicorn, I have taken a lot into account on this one. Trust the situation. Let go of your insecurities for once."
I looked at him and said, "What about Colin? He is my mate. Will this break his heart?"
Wulfe sighed as he looked at me, appearing somehow much older.
He said, "My dear, your belief in love is still so trusting. I don't wish to hurt you, but perhaps you should face reality. This is just one possibility for the future, but you will feel it as if it were real."
He took my hand and closed his eyes, and I felt dizzy, briefly closing my eyes as well.
I was crouching on the ground. All around me were broken buildings and wrecked cars. I knew I was too weak to stop this. I blamed Mariella, and I felt utterly heartbroken. I saw my hands were bloody, and a little left of me was a dead person. I recognized him, Magnum, then I saw, Murdock dead, Dexter, dead too. I hear someone gasping. Near me, Colin was lying on the ground. He had a severe wound in his chest and near him was a dead wolf, his wolf, and then there was another man, dead too. He looked like Colin, but he had green hair. He was not fully identical, and I knew he was Colin's leprechaun; I knew They had done this. I could feel everything sucking inside me. I could not hold my panels to control them. I could not find my powers. I felt empty. Colin was almost in my arms, and I could smell his blood. His lips were bloody. I was whispering to him, trying to make him hold on.
Colin got weaker, he looked at me, or past me, smiling and whispered, "Oh, Margarita, my love..."
Then he died. I felt how heartbroken I was. He had not loved me, but Margarita, till his last breath.
Someone was yanking me to my feet, "Come on, unicorn, time to go. You can't help them. I am sorry, but we gotta go." I looked at Wulfe but he was all grown up, a man.
Dream or whatever vision ended, leaving me gasping for all of those ghost feelings, feelings of loss and heartbreak.
Wulfe said, "That could happen, but we just don't know yet. I will be with you as long as I can, but know that if that happens, our paths will separate. However, you will find true happiness and get your happy ending."
I said in a low voice, "That was the end of the world... No, it must be stopped."
Wulfe smiled wistfully and said, "It will be the end of the world, but then there will be time to rebuild and learn about the past too. My unicorn, don't dwell on that too much. My point was that whatever you feel for Colin, his one true love will always be Margarita. He loves you, but that burning love, the one felt for the truest soulmate, is not for you, not from him."
I looked at Wulfe and asked, "Well, do you have someone who is your truest soulmate?"
He did not answer me. He kept his expression so neutral that I couldn't read him. He sat there in silence, and then he just stood up and walked away. I was left with more questions and more information, trying to focus on this moment rather than thinking about the future or the distant future.
As Wulfe walked out of the office, he muttered to himself, "The answer to your question, my unicorn, is yes. I have someone, you. You are the missing piece of me."
The vampire wizard walked into the night, scared because he had felt love for the first time in his broken, torn heart. The feeling had been almost too much, and he had to be strong for her. He was destined to walk beside her, so she no longer walked the boulevard of broken dreams alone. Now, she would have someone always walking next to her, and their path would not be easy, but he would keep her safe and help her always and forever.
