《Devil May Love | Niklaus Mikaelson》Chapter Seventeen: Ties That Bind

I promise she's not going to die again for at least five more chapters.

Evangeline Salvatore

I had ever expected to happen upon being brought back to life by Niklaus Mikaelson only to be fed on by Niklaus Mikaelson is to moan. Not a moan from pain but actual pleasure from being fed on! Being killed a second time had to have made me lose part of my sanity because that was just absurd. When I got a moan in response from the blonde man, I realized how insane it all was and what was actually happening.

"K-Klaus...get off!" I tried to sputter as the blood was drained from me as I was trying to regain my strength, which was pretty hard to do when it felt like the life was being sucked back out of me.

The strange thing was having fight against the euphoric pleasure I felt from his actions. It didn't seem right that his feeding from me felt so amazing but it did, if I had had all of my strength, I probably would've begged him not to stop. The feel of his soft lips against my neck and the latching of my teeth felt like heaven, hopefully just because I was just being brought back to life. I tried to pull him off of me by his hair but another wave of pleasure rippled through me and I ended up clenching his blonde locks as I fought off a moan. If anyone were to be listening outside of the door, it would've seemed like he was making love to me. I began seeing blurs of grey as he continued on and I lost the words to ask him to stop. With every gulp in took in, he let out a guttural growl of pleasure that shook my bones. My body was trembling and my nerves had gone static until finally—

"NIKLAUS!" I cried, my back arched completely from the bed and I shivered as he finally pulled away with my blood dripping off of his pursed lips and down his chin.

Collapsing onto the bed, I let out a shaky sigh and stared at the ceiling of the canopy bed, letting what had just happened sink in. He had just given me...but how? Why? Did he know what he was doing?

The blonde hybrid disappeared into the bathroom and I sat up holding my neck. I pulled my hand away and gasped when I saw barely any blood. Immediately, I shot off the bed and towards the rectangular vanity mirror. Alas, the wound was healing rapidly, my hair looked livelier, my skin was practically glowing, and all of my wounds from him taking my life the second time were gone. But wait—

My eyes locked onto the gorgeous necklace that I wore. It was covered in diamonds with a repeating circular pattern all across it with a bit of my blood on a couple diamonds. Where had the gorgeous piece of jewelry come from?

I looked from the necklace to the door and immediately went to escape only to hit a barrier as if I hadn't been invited to come into the hallway outside of the room.

"What the hell?" I murmured, trying to put my hand through the doorway, only for it to hit an invisible barrier.

In the midst of my confusion, I hadn't realized that Niklaus had left the bathroom.

"Works like a charm" His accent filled my ears and immediately agitated me.

I quickly spun around to face him with narrowed eyes, "You didn't seriously put a barrier on the room to keep me in here, Klaus"

He gave me a smug, dimpled smile, "Actually I put a voice activated barrier on it Dear Angel, if I allow you to leave the room, you may but all exits from the house are off limits"

Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair, completely not surprised by his actions. Niklaus was devious and conniving enough to do something of the sort so I honestly wasn't surprised by his actions. He was going to stop at nothing to have his way. I should've been pissed at him for killing me again and feeding on me but I didn't. I felt drained and I knew that yelling in his face the way I had would've come with consequences, I just wished I had been able to breathe fire in his face before I'd died so he could've looked like the literal walking dead while I was deceased.

"They think you're torturing me, Niklaus" I said sitting down on the bed as he pulled off his bloodstained hoodie and looked for a shirt to replace it with. It was then that I noticed the feather tattoo on his chest that extended to his shoulder before he put on a dark grey t-shirt.

"I have" The hybrid man remarked with a wolfish grin as he walked towards me, "I've killed you already...fed on you...all that's left is to tie you up, love"

"That's a little kinky" my eyebrow shot up and my mouth spoke before I could think about what I said.

His grin widened and his eyes darkened at my comment while my entire body blushed and I avoided eye contact with him.

"I-I mean...I um...I don't actually feel tortured" I sputtered standing up and observing the necklace in the mirror.

The smirk on his face made me want to dive under the bed and hide from him, that moment was one of the first times Nik had ever really intimidated me before. I had no idea what he was thinking of doing but I could tell by the fire in his eyes, it would be something that I couldn't give in to without regretting at another point in time.

"I can change that" He responded with a smirk as he swiftly blurred on to the bed, catching me off guard, and grabbed my hair, forcing me back on the bed towards the pillows.

I hissed in pain, remembering back to when he nearly ripped the hair out of my scalp before he killed me the first time. A low growl escaped my throat as he pulled my head back by my hair until I was lying on my back. He let my brown locks go and smirked as he climbed on top of me, straddling my waist. My body responded with heat almost immediately and he smirked almost immediately at it.

"Get off" I mumbled, trying to study him and calculate his next move but trying to decipher the man was almost impossible.

"Shh" He whispered, putting a finger to my lips before removing his shirt and heating up the room ten times more, "You need your strength, love"

"For what?" I questioned, only to be met with no response as he simply grabbed my clawed hand and broke the skin on his neck causing a small slit, "Drink"

I frowned, immediately attempting to back away as the dark red blood dripped down his skin, "No—Klaus, get off"

I flipped us over and attempted to get away but he grabbed me by my hair with lightning fast reflexes, "Drink!" He hissed before forcing my lips on to his neck.

As much as I hated to admit it, one drop of his blood had me addicted. It was like hearing a song for the first time and knowing you would have to play it again or meeting someone and knowing you would have to see them again. There was no sweetness or bitter taste but his blood was warmth flowing into my body that gave me a strength I couldn't let go of. It was liquid pleasure.

"Angel" He ground out, gasping and growling as he found himself in the same situation I had been in earlier. The pleasure was borderline unbearable. It made you have the urge to clench your fists and curl your toes while screaming, moaning, and cursing all at once.

The biggest thing with Nik, though, was the vulnerability he felt. When you allow another supernatural being—usually vampire—drink from your neck, you're basically offering yourself to them. It was like a virginity of sorts, just you give another person the power to potentially lose control and kill you. It's an activity fueled on trust, pain, and pleasure.

I hadn't even realized my skin had begun to heat up until I opened my eyes to the smoke surrounding us and my ears to the burning of Nik's skin. All the while, the Original was groaning in pleasure, grabbing my waist and digging his claws into my skin. I kept drinking until my esophagus became a chimney and I unlatched my teeth, blowing out dark smoke from my oral canal then taking in a gasp.

Coughing up a bit of Nik's blood, I pulled my now tangled hair back and took in deep breaths while Nik looked like he had passed out. He almost looked dead if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his perspired chest and the slacking and unslacking of his jaw. His eyes were golden yellow and his fangs were elongated and his blonde curls were matted onto his forehead like a frame.

The two of us sat listening to nothing but our heavy breaths and heartbeats, covered in sweat until I climbed off of him and just slipped under the covers, going straight to sleep. Following my example, my hybrid mate turned off the lights, took off his jeans, and got into bed right beside me, pulling my face into his chest and falling asleep himself.

(*~*)

I woke up to an empty bed of course but what caught my attention was the cinder on the sheets and on my skin. The black ash was smudged on the pillows and where Nik had been previously lying as well as under and all over me. I must have seriously be about to go completely inflamed last night to wake up appearing like I'd just come out of a chimney. I seriously needed to know a way to control myself and learn what my true fate was.

Every unus turned vampire died that I knew of but what if I'm nearly two centuries late? Is it still the same? Has anyone come across for a sort of cure for it?

Immediately, I grabbed my phone and called Anastasia by the number that I hoped was still hers.

It only took two rings for an answer, "Evan?! Thank God, you're alive! I saw him wake you but then there was another blank spot like you died again! Why didn't you call me?!"

"He technically did kill me again" I said sheepishly as I scratched the back of my neck then shivered at the thought of last night's activities, "So that's why I haven't called you"

My best friend sighed, "I have no idea how the two of you will survive—literally—if you argue so much that one kills the either"

"I haven't killed him!" I exclaimed defensively.

"Yet" was all Ana responded with before continuing with a menacing tone, "But I'm glad he brought you back faster this time, I thought I'd have to pay him a visit"

I rolled my eyes at her hostile tone, "You and me both, anyway, what do I do next? Am I dying?"

Ana sighed and I knew she was running her fingers through her hair. She always did it when she was frustrated or something was complicated.

"That's where things get complicated, Lina" She was stalling.

"How?" I asked urgently, I was practically dying as we spoke yet she was dragging her feet!

Another sigh, "You're dying—BUT! There's something else..."

"What?" I groaned, already having winced at my suspicions being proven. I was indeed dying yet there was something worse that was supposed to happen.

A third sigh, "As you know, you are the second Original hybrid. Only two of you exist and have been determined mates by the same witch"

"What?" My jaw dropped, I was finally getting more information on the mate situation.

"You and Niklaus were paired together by a witch, the Original witch"

My eyes were probably the size of quarters by that moment, "His mother?! What in the hell?! Why?!"

"Calm down" Anastasia urged, that was when I realized there was so much that neither Klaus nor I knew, "Esther Mikaelson resented Niklaus, once her affair was uncovered, she tried everything to suppress the side of him that was proof of the infidelity and she never wanted him to create offspring and carry on the bastard bloodline"

"Harsh" I grumbled to myself feeling immediate sympathy for Nik. Both of his parents wanted him miserable. Sure, my father killed me and my mother left me but they weren't powerful supernatural creatures that could haunt me forever like the Mikaelson parents.

"Yeah, so she made it so that he could only ever find love with a mate that was almost exactly like him, a bastard child, damned to spend all eternity as the only one of their kind unless they perform a difficult ritual, proof of adultery"

"Great" I muttered sarcastically, "Just pair the two unstable misfits together and—wait, you said a difficult ritual? What ritual?"

"Dammit" I heard my supernatural best friend mumble, "I was hoping you would not have noticed that part"

"Yeah well I did" I deadpanned as I got up from Nik's bed and checked for blood on my dress. Of course, there were little specs of it all near where he bit me, "Tell me"

Ana groaned, "Basically, Niklaus and you are the same in many ways and one of those similarities is you need to perform a sacrificial ritual in order to gain the best of your abilities or in your case, die"

"Sacrificial?" I squeaked, already not liking the thought of the process.

My best friend hesitated, "Yes...and using the doppelganger...again. You don't need to drain her blood though this time, but you need her to be there and to spill blood and mix it in with each element that you are, which would be that of a human, vampire, and unus. You will need a witch to perform the spell"

"But sacrificial usually means someone dies" I pointed out childishly.

"Yeah...that's where things get interesting...you and your mate must sacrifice yourselves to the gods in order to be reborn and replenished from your bastard titles. It's kind of like a merger for the two of you as well, your ritual is the blood mixing, that you will have to drink by the way and the mate acceptance has to follow in order for the process to work out properly"

"So let me get this straight" I began, leaning against a dresser, "I'm supposed to drink a ton of blood in order to survive being unus and a vampire only to die in order for everything to process"

"Yes" Anastasia confirmed, "It is the prophecy of the mates, Niklaus's changing was part one, your survival will be the second part and your rebirth is the final stage"

"And this was all created by Esther?"

"No, Esther only made it so Niklaus's mate was another forbidden lovechild. The other ancestors were more thorough and made it so if his mate was found, there would have to be an entire sacrifice in order to restore the balance"

"But wouldn't we be more powerful once we are united?"

"Yes, but only if you are true mates, the both of you have to be willing to share your power"

"And what happens if we don't?"

"You both will return to the earth as humans"
