Hunger: Volume 4 Read Free Page B

sole mission is to survive and in order to
survive they hunt. Even though we are vampires the hunter part of us remains.
The part of us that wants to help instead of hurt. It is what makes us stronger
than them. We can fight the urge to kill,” he said like it would make a big
difference.
    “But
we have to feed so what does it matter?” I asked confused.
    “It
matters because that is what makes you more human and less of a monster. It
will keep you from being a tyrant like Cornelius. You have to learn to live
with it and realize it isn’t a bad thing,” he said softly.
    “You
say I’m not a monster, but I feel like one. I feel like if I even attempt to
feed I will hurt someone,” I said trying to make him understand.
    “Listen
to Aubrey. He will train you. It is not as impossible as it seems,” he said
sounding confident.
    “Thank
you. It’s nice to know I am not the only one who feels like this,” I said smiling.
    “If
you need anything, just call. I will come see you when I can,” he said then
hung up.
    I
sighed and hung the phone up. I tossed it aside and closed my eyes. I felt a
little better, but not much.
    My
door opened and Aubrey came in followed by a young man. I sat up a little
straighter when I caught the man’s scent. He was human. I felt the hunger hit
me hard, but I stayed where I was. “Don’t bring him in here!” I said angrily
glaring at Aubrey.
    “You
have to learn to be around them, and to feed on them. You will not be able to
reach your full potential without human blood,” he said matter of factly.
    He
took the guys arm and brought his wrist to his mouth. Aubrey’s eyes locked with
mine as if he needed to keep his eyes on me. The second Aubrey’s fangs broke
the man’s skin I knew it. I scrambled backwards; off the opposite side of the
bed. I pressed my body to the furthest wall trying to get as far away from them
as I could. I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to fight the hunger and block the
scent.
    “You
cannot fight it. The more you fight, the hungrier you will get. The hungrier
you are means the faster you will kill,” Aubrey said firmly.
    “I
will feed off a werewolf. Please Aubrey don’t do this to me,” I begged as I
crouched down. The pain was unbearable. I could see why Aubrey refused to let
me leave.
    He
cussed and pushed the man aside. He walked around the bed and grabbed me by my
arm. He yanked me to my feet and drug me toward the man. I struggled trying to
fight Aubrey, but he was strong and I was weak. He grabbed the man’s wrist and
forced it to my mouth.
    “No!”
I pleaded as the hot blood touched my lips the scent was overwhelming. It was
all I could smell. I refused to open my eyes. I felt like if I saw it I would
want it more.
    “Stop
fighting Lillian!” Aubrey ordered as he pressed the man’s wrist firmly to my
mouth.
    The
sweet hot blood filled my mouth. I cried in pleasure and grasped the man’s
wrist. I drank quickly savoring the taste. I wanted to pull away, but I
couldn’t.
    “That
is enough,” Aubrey said softly, but I ignored him. “Lillian!” he growled as he
pulled the man’s wrist from my grasp. “Leave now,” he ordered the man.
    I
attempted to go after the man. I wanted more. The hunger was still there. It
still hurt. I needed more blood. Aubrey wrapped his arm around my waist and
pulled me back to the bed. He pinned me to the bed. I struggled trying to fight
him, but he had an iron grip. I wanted it, I couldn’t fight it. I had to think
of something else.
    I
pressed my mouth to Aubrey’s trying to distract myself. I was surprised when he
kissed me back. I was beginning to think he understood what I was trying to do.
He relaxed his grip and deepened the kiss. It was working, the hunger was
easing and lust was taking over.
    I
tore the front of his shirt open and ran my hands down his chest. I fought his
shirt off, then my hands went to the button on his pants.
    “Lily
I don’t think,” he mumbled against my
