I watched as my butterfly ranted about the classes she had to take to prepare her for the ball. My eyes stayed glued to her body at the front of the bed as she paced around the room. She used her hands to explain and emphasize everything she was feeling and saying.


I rubbed my hands together and slowly covered my face. Normally, I would be okay with her complaining and everything but she was cleared by the doctor two days ago and ever since then she's been avoiding my questions.


I pushed myself to the edge of the bed and used my vampire strength to grab her and place her on my lap. I cupped her face as she released a little noise and stared at her with serious eyes.


She tried to shimmy her way out of my arms but I wouldn't budge...


"Can we not do this today Leviticus?" Angie said as she attempted to pry my arms off of her body.


She let out a frustrated sigh and continued to talk, "You'll get nowhere stressing about things you need not stress about."


I tightened my grip around her body, "You had a different smell on you and I want to know who and what they were. I know it wasn't a human and it most definitely wasn't a vampire or wolf." I stared at her and patiently waited for her response.


She sighed as she went limp in my arms.


"Leviticus, I don't come from that nice easy going family that you come from okay. I left hell for a reason and that was to get away from my father. My father and I have a very horrible relationship, okay. After he killed my mother I just couldn't deal with him anymore. Now, he sent someone up here to try and finish me off, but I took care of it, okay. The reason I passed out was because of the exhaustion and because the person that came up here was another demon. I promise you it will never happen again."


I took a breath and stared at Leviticus with big watery eyes. He reached down and wiped away a stray tear that endlessly fell down my left cheek.


I had to give him the best act that I could. I loved him and I knew that he cared so much for me, but until I accomplished this task.. love was not allowed to get in my way. I must've held my breath as I was waiting for a reply because soon enough he was wrapping his arms around me and whispering sweet apologies in my ear.


I took a big breath resembling the sound of a person lacking oxygen for long periods of time and took as much air as possible into my lungs while letting my tears fall.


Most of them coming from the pain I'm causing and the others because I know that I'll be leaving soon. I overstayed my welcome and now my mate would have to pay the price with his heart.


So, for however long I have I'm going to enjoy it and try to forget about the pain that's sure to come.


For the rest of the day, we sat in that same position on the bed and held each other as if our lives depended on it. He promised to keep me safe and away from my father, and I nodded while rubbing his back.


I had to give him some kind of reassurance that I believed him, but in reality, I wasn't scared of my father. I wanted him dead and soon enough my want would come true. Damian would kill my father and I would finish what I started and leave here.
