Chapter 12

Rosabella 's P.o.v

I feel Finn's cold hand in mine. It was like holding on to an icicle that dangled from a tree in the middle of winter. Finn seemed on edge about the werewolf boy, and I mean, if I'm completely honest, I think Arjun is pretty doggone cute. I like the little southern accent in his voice, and the bad boy image he was trying to portray.

"Are you jealous that Arjun is my mate?"

Finn stops walking right in our tracks. He looks at me with his face broken into a frown.

"I wouldn't be jealous watching the pack destroy your life, I'll be hurt and angry."

I found my face hitting the ground, looking at my feet, and I feel ashamed of myself for asking that question. He's been so protective over me and practically saved my life on more than one occasion.

I feel cold hands on my face and my heart skipping a beat or two.

Soon beautiful golden brown eyes met mine. I want him to kiss me, I want the feel of cold lips on mine. I want him to understand the feeling my alive heart was starting to have for his dead heart.

"Finn kiss me!"

He looks at me with surprise on his face. Then I feel him gently move the hair from my face, and cold lips on mine. His lips were so sweet, everything about this kiss felt like I dreamed true love would be.

A few moments later, Dominic, Cedric, Cassandra and Blair all sit around the kitchen table. My eyes see them playing cards. I smile to myself ,seeing Cassandra's sneaky grin.

"Game of strip poker Rosie?" Dominic eyes me.

I feel the laughter escaping my lips. Vampires and poker is a combination.

"No, Rosie and I had enough of the adventure." Finn answers before I can respond.

I nod. I was honestly getting sleepy.

"I'm going to see you later, hopefully tomorrow?" I direct my attention to Finn.

"You're leaving?"

I see the disappointment on his face. He clearly didn't think I was going to stay the night here. How awkward would that be?

Yeah, I think I will crash for the night. I'm feeling tired."

Finn nods. "At least let me walk you home."

I feel the smile taking over my face. What a gentleman vampire Finn is.

"Sure."

We walk down the street hand in hand, the moon was bright in the night sky. It cast a shadow over the streets, making them more eerie. I never really liked walking by myself at night,so I was happy Finn offered. Though staying by myself alone in the hotel should also be terrifying for me, it's so ordinary now I'm used to it. I really wish being alone wasn't normal for me.
