Chapter Four

“We found him wandering outside.” Two of Rohan’s vampire guards led in an unannounced visitor. Rohan found himself under examination by a handsome human man in his early forties who resembled Harris’ friend Carey too much for it to be a coincidence.

He froze at the chill in the human’s expression. Rohan had met ancient vampires who couldn’t project the amount of coldness the human before him did with his icy blue eyes.

Vampires surrounding him didn’t appear to intimidate the human. Rohan didn’t sense even a smidgen of unease. A pool of calm emitted from the man similar to Harris’ zen-like peace, as if he had no concerns about being able to handle the situation. From what he’d heard, Rohan knew this could only be one person.

“You must be Aden Gale, Carey’s father,” Rohan said. He knew he had to proceed with caution, even though the human was the trespasser. Harris considered Aden a father figure, and he respected the human’s opinion. Rohan’s usual approach of tossing out anyone who annoyed him wouldn’t work in this case.

“And you’re Rohan,” Aden replied. “Could we talk privately for a moment?”

Rohan nodded. “Please, leave us,” he told the guards.

“Your highness,” protested Madeleine. “How do you know we can trust him?”

Rohan raised an eyebrow at her. “You think I can’t handle one human?”

“No, sire, sorry. Let me know if you need anything,” Madeleine said.

“I will. Go see if Harris needs a snack.” His artist often became famished while working on his mural.

“Yes, sire,” Madeleine bowed and vanished out the door with the other guards.

“You should let Harris prepare stuff himself. He enjoys cooking. It helps his creative process,” Aden offered his advice.

“Thank you for the tip,” Rohan said, reluctantly appreciative. He certainly needed all the help he could get in making a positive environment for his bear shifter. He’d never had to create a home for someone before, and he doubted he was up to the challenge. “What can I do for you?”

“You can make sure I don’t have to kill you and upset Harris,” Aden said as if he were answering a question about the weather.

Rohan tensed. Apparently, the stories he’d heard about Aden weren’t exaggerated. “You walked in here to threaten me?” He let his voice turn deep and reveal his annoyance.

“I did ask you to dismiss your people first so you wouldn’t feel compelled to embarrass yourself by trying to kill me,” Aden offered as if he had genuinely done Rohan a favor.

Laughter bubbled up in Rohan’s chest. “What would you know about killing a vampire?”

“Quite a bit actually,” Aden replied with frightening calm. “I’ve had to take a few out in my time. I admit I’m getting a little slower with age and it might take me more than the ten minutes it used to, but I still know how to shoot an iron arrow true.”

Rohan froze. It was a well-guarded secret that iron killed vampires faster than any other metals. The knowledge in the hands of a hard-core fighter didn’t ease Rohan’s anxiety at all.
