Chapter 6

We were just finishing our meal, lunch in this time zone, when I knew it was time to talk. I thought about how I wanted to phrase everything, not wanting to upset Rory. But he was my mate, and I needed to be honest with him, or it was just sugarcoating a lie.

“What do you know about the way vampires live?” “I know you guys drink blood but eat, too, and you don’t live in packs.” He shrugged after a moment of thought.

“Remember when I was telling you how I’m not the Dragos heir?” I waited until he nodded before continuing. “We’re one of the oldest lines in the Americas of vampires, Rory.”

“You’re totally rich, aren’t you?” He sighed and pulled his knees up to his chest. “Shouldn’t I be happy I landed a mate with money?”

“Change is difficult, so I think it’s understandable you’d be nervous.” I moved around the table and took the seat next to him. “But I didn’t want to keep this from you, and it was obviously an issue when I upgraded us, and you saw where we were staying. I know you didn’t want to eat because you thought room service would be more than you could afford.”

“Yeah,” he whispered, his cheeks heating up with embarrassment. “Can you not spend your money on me and us still be mated?”

“No,” I answered as I reached out to cup his cheek. “Plus, I’m your mate, Rory. I want to give you everything, and as my mate, half of everything I own by vampire laws is now yours.”

“B-But I don’t want it. I only want you.”

“And while I appreciate that’s how you feel, I hope you’ll become comfortable with the idea that we do have money, and you’ll never want for anything ever again.”

“How much money are we talking here?” he asked after a moment.

“A lot,” I replied, closing my eyes and sending up a silent prayer he didn’t freak out. “My father gave Dillon hundreds of millions just to buy him off, so he’d sign over his rights to being the Dragos heir, Rory. And that didn’t make a dent in the estate.”

“Fuck,” Rory whispered, his eyes going wide. “You have like servants and shit, don’t you?”

“Yeah, they have their own residence on the Dragos grounds.” I nodded, scared at his reaction but still hopeful since he’d not pulled away from my hand. “And that’s not the only house I own either.”

“Part of me wants to say awesome, and let’s go shopping since everything I own is in that one suitcase,” he admitted after a few minutes. “Part of me wants to demand that I pay my own way, so you don’t think I’m ever taking advantage of you. And part of me is just really confused by all of this. I’m an orphan. I’ve never had shit that wasn’t given to me out of pity and charity. I don’t want that anymore in my life. I’m twenty-one years old. I should be able to make a living.
