I walked Jake to my room although he said he didn't need much to go after him but it was getting to night and I couldn't let him go so I asked Christina to prepare something for his trip. He waited around in my room unable to sit or stand in one point and I sat by the edge of the bed watching him pace before I finally decided to interrupt him.
"Jake, you don't need to do this alone" I wanted to talk him into letting me go with him but seeing that he's heard the conversation beforehand about the deal between me and Cassuis
"It's done my Lady" Christina interrupted; Jake went forward and took the bag out of her hands and slung it over his shoulders.
"Thank you" Jake thanked her with a smile and she left us as she exited Hunter and Leo joined us.
"We'll walk you out" Hunter offered
"Yes" we all walked outside of the mansion quietly, hearts in knots.
"You be careful out there" hunter advised slapping Jake's arm before walking back in
"Let me come with you" Leo offered once more
"No, you have to stay here with her"
Leo's glare towards me weren't welcoming, I never imagined his hatred before. Leo left too after Jake mentioned me
"Are you certain?"
"Yes" he answered evenly; it was like all emotions were dragged out of him.
I hated seeing him that way "Leaving Leo behind? Don't you think you are pushing him to act like kai did?"
"No, Leo will not. He's just distraught about everything" he explained It was as though he was carved of stone, still looking at me without the usual light in his eyes. I lost track of time, it felt like forever. I managed to move my foot towards him closing the distance I brushed at his hand lightly snapping his gaze away from me he looked up
"I will have to leave" he said mildly, and it really seemed so in his eyes. I knew the obligation of an Alpha to his pack and vice versa. No Alpha would let a member of his to go rouge, lost and be alone especially that he's known kai all his life. The relationship between them is more of family than an Alpha to his people. He moved backwards pulling away from me, it felt that the string holding us together was getting strained; I panicked just before he turned his back on me completely.
"Wait!" I grabbed his wrist pulling him back towards me, unannounced I pressed my cold lips against his throwing the wrist in my hand around my lower back before resting both my arms on his shoulders. His lips against mine left like one that I had longed for and it was better than I imagined heat immediately coarse my body pulling us closer together. I didn't want a moment like that to seize, being aware of the dangers all around us remembering that I had made an alliance with the vampire lord to bare his progeny and that Jake had lost a lot more than he bargained for on this journey, I dropped down on my heels pulling my face away from his but to my surprised Jake followed my motion and didn't let go. I cupped the side of his face and pulled us away with a heavy breath, our faces still so close to each other I didn't want to let him go either. His eyes rolled and locked in mine, lights ignited in his eyes with an overbearing hunger
"Just know, you are mine now"

It's been a day that Jake's gone now; I lay worriedly on my bed tossing from side to side. I haven't seen hunter or Leo in hours since after last night. I made arrangements for their accommodation in the wing I was just down the hall. Tossing again I was almost startled by Christina standing by the foot of my bed again,
"Is Lord Orpheus having me poisoned again for killing a bunch of his vampires?"
"No, your lordship" She answered plainly
"Why do you always wear this?" I asked very curious as I haven't seen her in any sort of clothing apart from the same suit skirt and shirt
"It suite my line of work better"
I sighed heavily before mentioning her to sit by the bed as I sat up
"Today, you're having a makeover by me"
"Your lordship I can't" She stammered very nervous from her tone
"It's an order from me. Now walk ahead" I said firmly throwing my legs to the side of the bed. We walked into my giant closet and chose the outfits in different colors. It turns out Christina was a really beautiful and young vampire but the clothing she wore and the styling of her hair made her look older, she was just twenty when she was turned. That was the first time I saw her hair down and her sexy body in a dress. I put her in a sleeveless silk lavender dress exposing the length of her shin; it had a flowing shirt and a tight waist exposing each of her curves.
"I can't believe you wore nothing else but twinset for fifty years" I exclaimed astonished by how reformed she looked while I help her with accessories and finished off by putting a lips gloss on her.
"None of this is necessary my lady" she said shyly in her sweet little voice
"Well I want to see my aid in really good dresses from now on; I don't like your boring clothing" I stood back and examined her from her hair to toe and she looked perfect. We had a lot of dresses to have on and this was the first one, I can't wait. This was all a face to keep me from worrying sick about Jake, I really needed a distraction.
"Now are you ready to see yourself?" She didn't answer but she looked pretty nervous. I grabbed her shoulders and turned her around to the mirror and I saw her face immediately dropped from the sight. She was speechless and motionless for a moment before she went
"Oh my god" with tears in her eyes
"You will spoil your eye makeup" I warned. She sniveled pushing back her tears quickly
"I don't know what to say" she admitted
"Well you look magnificent" I sat over her shoulder tapping her on the cheek
"It's been a while I have been like this since my twentieth birthday" I felt sorry for her but I tried not to show it
"Now that you can't grow older, you can take advantage of that"
"I cannot wear these clothes your majesty" she said rocking her head from side to side
"Say's your pesky sire? You're mine and not his; you will wear what I want you to wear" her eyes went wild for a moment before she nodded in agreed
"Then we continue our makeover"
