"Aiden?"
Ryan grabbed both of Aiden's shoulders, but it did not evoke the right reaction from the young man.
His eyes widened from fear, Aiden's lips started to tremble.
"No," he whispered. "No, don't touch me! Don't touch me!!!"
Aiden desperately pushed against Ryan's arms and chest in an attempt to free himself, but he was only a weak human being. How could he win against the superior, pure-blood vampire in front of him?
When Ryan heard Aiden's words, he was reminded of the young man's reaction at White Chapel. He was heavily traumatized by their night together. Walking together with Ryan in the dark might be the last thing on Aiden's mind right now.
The vampire let go immediately, and Aiden ran away like a deer who was given a second chance to live.
The problem was that there were a lot of rabid vampires lurking around.
