High on hormones.

Melanie's POV

Lissa pick up the damn phone, Melanie said as she broke into a cold sweat.

Calm down and talk to me, Adryan said as he rubbed her shoulders.

I can't reach Lissa and she sent a text earlier which said "help me". Now her phone ain't connecting.

That's bad. Get in the car let's move, Adryan said as he put his jacket over Melanie.

No, I won't let you come with me, Melanie said as a slight frown formed at her brows.

Melanie, get into the fucking car. We're losing time. Do you know the last place Lissa was? Adryan asked as he switched on the car.

She said she was gonna see Skylar. I shouldn't have let her, Melanie replied as she silently sobbed.

Skylar? Skylar Woods? Adryan asked.

Uhhm yea I think so. You know him?

Well kinda, Adryan frowned. The real question is why does Melissa know him? He's usually in the wrong crowd.

Really? Lissa just mentioned him a few times...she said they just hung out. You know, a couple of drinks and movies, Melanie replied.

Knowing Skylar, I'm pretty sure it was way more than just a couple of drinks, Adryan sighed as he showed her a picture on his phone. That's him.

What do you mean by it was way more? Melanie asked as she looked at the picture. Who exactly is this guy?

I told you...Skylar Woods , Adryan said as he avoided eye contact and stopped the car.

Godammit Noir. Tell me who he really is, Melanie demanded.

Skylar Woods, ex student of Asgard high, heir to the creed bloodline, Adryan said as he got out the car. And that's his house.

The creed??? He's a vampire. Son of Miguel Woods. Fuck, Melanie sweared. Wait, he went to our school?

My point exactly. And yea, he went to our school till he got expelled for selling opioids, Adryan said.

Fuck. Where did Lissa meet this scumbag, Melanie said and how come I never heard this story?

His dad as we both know has got friends in high places. He pulled some strings so his family's reputation wouldn't be tarnished. As for Melissa, we're about to find out, Adryan said as he knocked on the door of the Woods'.

Who that? A harsh voice from inside responded.

Hey man, I just got a few questions for Skylar, Adryan replied as he whispered get behind me to Melanie.

Who's the redhead? A guy suddenly appeared at the door and asked.

The bitch your daddy screwed on your mama with, Melanie said quietly.

What you say? The guy bared his fangs and asked furiously.

Nothing man, Adryan said. Look, I just wanna talk to Skylar.

He ain't at home, you can leave now and you better watch your back, the guy said as he ran his eyes over Melanie.

Adryan's POV.

Annie what in bikini's bottom was that stunt? You coulda gotten hurt, Adryan said as he fought hard to control his anger.

Adryan, I need to find Melissa.

We'll find her, come on, Adryan said as he pulled Melanie to the back of the Woods' mansion.

What are you doing? Melanie asked in whispers as she watched him.

Trying to find Melissa. Open this lock.

Talk to me, Melanie said as she psyched the lock with demon energy.

Wait here, I'll go in, Adryan said as he made his way through the narrow passageway.

Hell no, I'm coming with you, Melanie said as she took off the jacket.

It's dangerous, and you females have the problem of being high on hormones. Wait here, Adryan commanded and left.

Melanie's POV.

*Ohh mother Hera, protect Lissa's stupid ass. What the hell is taking Adryan so long, Melanie said inwardly as she contemplated on going in after waiting for almost an hour.

*How do I find Adryan now, she said as she tried to walk as noiselessly as possible. Let go of me, Melanie cried out as strong arms grab her from behind and cover her mouth with a scarf. Adryan, Adryan ,she kicked at the air and tried to scream with little effort as the unknown assailant pulls her away.
