“That’s not true! You kept coming back for more before they stole you away! I was just about to make my move!”

Felix moves closer to me. His movements are jerky and stiff as he comes to me and wraps himself around me. He nuzzles into his mark on my neck.

I bring a hand up and run it up his back. “I’m okay Felix. I’m right here, safe and sound.”

He nods against my neck but keeps quiet.

The door opens and all of us tense until Blaze comes through the door.

“This is the stalker?” He asks striding towards him.

Aksel stops him in his tracks. “Yes, and we’re gathering information right now.”

Time to get back to it.

“When have I drank your blood?” I ask.

Blaze is staring at me, eyes blazing as he searches my face.

Now the human decides to stay quiet.

I run my hand down Felix’s back one more time before moving closer to the human.

Something about his features is familiar.

I study them until it hits me.

“You’re the guy from the bar. You’ve been flirting with me while I work,” I reveal. I ask again, this time using my compulsion. “When have I drank your blood?”

He still refuses to answer.

“How is he resisting?” I ask.

Everyone moves closer.

“It’s wev. He has wev somewhere on his body to block your compulsion. If he drank it, it would be in his blood and you would have tasted it.”

It all comes together. Where I’ve seen him, when I might have drank his blood, everything.

“Oh my fucking god, you’re one of the assholes I compelled to stay away from women. I drank your blood before I knew the effects but you weren’t compelled like I thought. Am I right?”

When he doesn’t respond, I scream, “Am I right?”

“Don’t be upset love. You’re right. You shared your venom with me and when I came back you chose me again. We were meant to be.”

Felix growls.

So when I was trying to help the women of the world be safer, I created my stalker. I gave pleasure to someone who shot and almost killed me. To the person leaving me notes and terrifying me?

I feel sick.

“Where did you get wev? Is it the same place you got the bullets you used on Anna?” Aksel asks.

“I’m not telling you anything until my love and I are free to leave here together,” he says.

Aksel laughs manically. “You’re not leaving ever and certainly not with Anna. She wouldn’t leave with you, so get that through your head.”

He’s right but I’m not sure that’s the best way to get him to talk.
