Chapter 9

My interest perked up as Robin started to whisper as though someone were listening in on our conversation. We exited my closet and sat atop my bed with Louie curled up nearby. “What sort of customs?” I asked.

“Blood Mates,” Robin said mechanically.

“What are Blood Mates?” I had never heard of such a thing and wasn’t quite sure I liked the sound of it.

“It is a highly secretive practice followed by very old or very important vampires. I honestly think many only do it as a tradition to gain status, but obviously, my opinion doesn’t matter.”

“Robin, what is it?” I could feel myself thirsting for the information as if knowledge of vampire secrets were as delicious as warm blood trickling down my throat.

At the thought of blood, I could feel my mouth watering and I slid my tongue across my fangs and then over my lips. Robin paused and stared at my fangs in almost perfectly frozen shock. “I still can’t believe how long your fangs are, Claire.”

“Please don’t look at me like I’m some kind of science experiment. It’s probably just because… Well, I don’t know why it is, but is it really that big of a deal?”

Robin shook her head and I felt a little guilty for snapping at her. I realized that I probably sounded a lot like Ana. So, I quickly changed the subject to the most prominent thought in my mind. “Are you hungry?”

“A little,” Robin admitted, her smile returning. “I know you must be. I was hungry all the time when I first turned.”

“Great. So, how do we get something to eat around here? Just go to the kitchen and ask Bruno to whip us up a couple blood smoothies, O Negative style?” I joked with her to lighten the mood again.

“I see you haven’t lost your sense of humor,” Dmitry said from the doorway to my room. He was leaning against the frame and looking as swoon-worthy as I could have ever imagined, but that wasn’t what took my breath away.

It was the sight of Luka standing beside him. He had the same irritated look permanently frozen onto his face. It was the only expression I had ever seen him wear and he looked at Robin and me like we were insects.

I imagined we both looked quite casual, each of us dressed in sweat pants and tank tops, but I always thought guys were attracted to non-high maintenance types. However, when it came to Luka, I was obviously wrong! Especially when I considered Ana. She had probably never even held a pair of sweat pants or a t-shirt, for that matter.

“I see you haven’t stopped your habit of sneaking up on people?” I replied to Dmitry and he smiled as he strolled into the room.

“Like I told you before, Claire, I don’t sneak. Luka and I just heard the news that you had quite an interesting transformation and we wanted to see it for ourselves.”

“Oh great! Show and tell,” I complained, but Dmitry ignored it as he always did and walked toward me with unwavering confidence.
