"No, you are staying here" He asserted, frowning. 

I had only an hour to reach the location Derek had given to me. I was to come alone or he promised to kill everyone I cared about.

Derek seemed to have lost it, I was scared for Lucian's safety and my family's as well.  I wanted to meet Derek, maybe I could make him change his mind, things don't have to end tragically between us.
