Killian Dantéus' words rang in my ears. Terrifying and exhilarating all at once. Terrifying because I didnt want all this but fate obviously had other plans if my dream/prophecy was any indication. I could not allow the world to be destroyed. Especially in the horrifying manner of the dream.
It was exhilarating because a hidden part of me wanted love. I wanted romance, happy endings, and even a family to call my own. My current world is quiet and lonely. Running for my life did not leave much room for a social life. I had never even had a boyfriend and now I was basically married to a demon. And I would be doing the same with 5 more unbelievably handsome men. Fate had a sick sense of humour.
It has been two days since my bond with Killian but I havent seen him since then. He told me he had to take care of his business merger in Hong Kong before the vampires came. He should be back sometime today and I find myself thinking about him more than I feel i should.
Perhaps I should read a comic or a good book and waste some time. Its not like Elias would let me wander around too much. Not without gaurds trailing behind me anyway. I did not like the attention I got with my always lurking shadows. As much as I might like Grant, he and his brother were in no way inonspicous.
Elais' pack was not always freindly either. Although no one would dare attack me outright I had come across a few veiled attempts to antagonize or hurt me. I felt they thought I might be trying to take over as their Luna since I was brought in by Elias and was given guards and highly protected here. snickering to myself I push these thoughts away. It doesnt matter what they think I'm not here for Elias handsome tho he is.
Honestly I have enough trouble with the vampires and my impending bonds. I also had to find the vampire from the dream. He is ment to be a part of this crazy bond stuff too. I still couldnt beleive what I have gotten myself into. This would be a crazy upcoming year.

Starteled, I awoke to the sound of knocking. I had not even known I had fallen asleep while reading a good comic. Rest was had to come by I kept having nightmares that the vampires kill me or that I fail in keeping the world safe. Or by far the worst I cause it.
I did a quick check in the mirror to make sure I didnt have drool haning out of my mouth and my hair wasnt a mess. Other than looking a bit tired I looked fine. A light rapping at the door began again.
"I'm coming." I called out as I walked to the door. It was probably Elias, Grant knocks harder cause he likes to annoy me. Or maybe Killian he was due back today since the vampires would be here tonight.
opening the door there was both Elias and Killian. They looked annoyed sending glares at each other.
Killian spoke first, " I have brought you an outfit for tonight. and per Elias's insistance I am to inform you that you must accompany me to the ballroom... without any guards." at the last bit he shot Elias a glare.
Elias's face soured even more," Killian you know why she can't have the gaurds there mine or yours. We can not make her seem too important." he turned to me, " Killian will present you as his werewolf bonded. For your safety you will remain with him all night and for the stay of the vampires."
"He means you will be staying in my room until they leave or at my side." Killian eased out looking like he was waiting for my protest.
I sighed gently, " I understand. As long as it keeps me safe I will do it. It would look strange if I did not reside in your room as we are newly bonded anyway. no draw any suspision."
"Good. Now Grant and Garret will be moving your things into Killian's room. You will get ready there. go ahead a pack. the vampires will be here for at least a week." Elias said before leaving.
"Don't worry Lena it will be fine. I'll sleep on the couch if you wish. As long as you are with me you will be safe." Killian reached out and touched my cheek gently his eyes turning a slight violet color. He leaning forward he places a kiss on my cheek. " I will leave you to pack."
I watch as he walks down the hall trying to calm my racing heart. A simple kiss on thr cheek should not feel so good. How was I to survive a week or more staying in the same room as him!
