Warning

Kassandra's POV

I woke to warmth at my back and front, Aliana's arm was wrapped around my waist and Fen was snuggled up to my front. I've never felt like this before, safe, loved, protected and I've never been more happier in my life.10

"Are you awake?" Aliana asked as she pushed herself up on one elbow to look down at me.

Turning my head slightly to the side I loose my breath once again when I realise how beautiful she truly is.

And she wants me!

Sometimes I can't believe it and I'm waiting on the other shoe to drop.

"I would never leave you." She says and I'm shocked, how did she know?

"I can read your mind." She says and I immediately blush straight to my root. Oh my god! Has she heard what I've been thinking and saying about her.6

"This is the first time I've done this, I would never violate your privacy like that."

Thank god or this would have been an even more embarrasing morning. Then I remembered last night and how I had tried to seduce her in the shower, if it was even possible I'm sure my face was even more red than before.2

"You're really cute when you blush." My face couldn't get any redder, so I tried to hide under the covers.

" You have nothing to be ashamed about, I wanted nothing more than to be with you last night, to have you under me and screaming my name. But the timing isn't right. And I want to make sure that you completly understand what it means to be with me and be my mate.Once were finished dealing with this problem, make no mistake that I will take you completly as my mate, my equal, my only, my first and last, my everything. The Gods themselves wouldn't be able to take you from me. So please be patient with me my little mate, let me make it safe for you and then you will have all of me."59

By the end of her speech I realise I'm crying, she brings one of her hands up and wipes away my tears.

"O-ok." manage to sniffle out. Never has anyone cared so much about me.

I had to clear my throat before I was able to speak properly.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" I ask has as I sit up in bed.

"I have a visit with the vampire council later."

"Am I going along with you?" I ask, not wanting to assume.

"Of couse, there is no safer place for you than with me." She leans towards me and gives me a small kiss on the ckeek.8

I give her a bright smile as she turns and climbs out the bed, she goes into the bathroom and closes the door behind her. I turn toward Fen and shake him awake.1

"Fen, Fen. Wake up." I scratch behind his head and his paw starts to wiggle.2

"Fen there's a giant bone here for you." His ears immediately perk up and he jumps up on all fours, head swinging from left to right.

"Where is it? Where's the giant bone?" I laugh and he turns a puppy glare on me, that just makes me laugh harder. He growls as he stalks towards me. I scramble to the end of the bed and he tackles me from behind. we roll on the floor trying to top each other. We hear a growl coming from the direction of the bathroom, we both pause in our game and look up at Aliana, whose staring down at us with an amused expresion.

"What's up." I ask her,as if this was a normal occurance. She shakes her head at us and makes her toward the door.

"I'm going to make breakfast." She says leaving the room.

I turn to look back at Fen.

"Do you give?" Fen asks, and I nod my head yes. He gives me a big lick on the face then trots to the door after Aliana.

"You owe me a bone."He says and with that he's gone.

I lay there for another minute, then push myself up and head into the bathroom to get ready for the day. All the while smiling at my new life with Aliana and Fen.

***************************************************************************************************************25

We were diving down the road, heading out of the city into a scarcely populated area.

"Where exactly are we headed again?" I ask Aliana as we continue to drive further and further away from the city. The further we went the less houses were around.

"The council has a hidden underground lair that they are using out here." She replies.

I lean back in my seat and enjoy the ride.

About half an hour later we pull into a driveway that leads to an old rundown barn. The place looks run down and deserted, weeds groing everywhere, overgrown grass, paint peeling off the barn.

"This place looks empty." I say as we step out of the car. " Are you sure that this is the right place?"

"This is it." She says as Fen settles himself on her shoulder, she walks over to me and hold out her hand, I take it automatically and we head for the barn door.

We've taken no more than ten steps away from the car when we're suddenly surrounded by men, all with guns pointing at us.

"There is nothing here for you, turn around, get back in your car and leave." A large man steps forward and says.

"Move." Is all I hear from Aliana.

The same man continues forward until he is directly in front of her.

"Don't you not understand bitch? I said leave." He shouts down at her. Aliana doesn't move a muscle, she just continues to stare him down.1

"Move." She says. " I won' t tell you again."28

"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do you bitch." He makes as if to reach for her shoulder and push her down, but stops when Aliana speaks.

"If you touch me you will loose that hand." He looks to be thinking it over and decides to lower his hand.3

As he was about to open his mouth to speak again, a short man comes running out of the barn door and stops in front of us.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience Ms.Aliana, Ms. Blake. If you will follow me please the council will see you shortly. The men with the weapons step away from us slowly as if unsure what to do, then I realise that they're all waiting on the first man who spoke to us to make a decision. All this time he was still busy glaring at Aliana, while she is looking at him as if he isn't even there. Finally, he gives her one more hate filled glare and steps aside.2

"Excellent, lets go shall we." The second man says.

"By the way, my name is Jensen, I will be attending to you during your stay here he say as he leads us into the barn.3

"We're not staying, this is a very short visit." Aliana tell him.

"Well that is up to the council." He says and lead us to a tunnel that goes underground.

"No, it's not ." Aliana says as we exit into a spacious cavern.9

It's a very spacious room that has a old world feel to it, torches hang on the walls along with tapestries and beautiful paintings and large fluffy seating.

Jensen directs us to one of these large chairs.

"If you will have a seat, the council will be with you shortly."

Aliana completly ignores him and continues down a hall that lead to an enormous set of double doors.

Jensen runs after us trying to get us to stop but Aliana continues to ignore him and pushes the doors open with one hand. All the vampires in the room look up as soon as we enter the room.

One stands up from his seat looking outraged.

"We have not summoned you yet, you will go back out and wait till you are called!" He shouts at us.1

Aliana ignores him and pulls out her gun, she turns behind us and fires two shots, they're so loud that everyone in the room covers their ears.

She turns back around and points her gun at the council and walks toward them. When she reaches the table she takes her gun and places it directly between the eyes of the vampire who had spoken.

"Give me a reason not to kill you."
