I awoke to a throbbing leg and a pitch-black room. I reached for my bedside lamp and turned it on. I had a gauze taped to my arm. The doctors must have given me blood. Pulling the covers off of me I looked down at the white bandages that wrapped around my aching leg. I must have blacked out because the last thing I remembered was Taylor looking at my leg.

I sighed and shook my head. I really messed up this time. How could I be so idiotic and follow a group of vampires without my group. I know I don’t care about dying and that made me even more courageous than I have ever been. And because I had no fear of dying it made the decision to hunt alone that much easier. Well, I have learned my lesson, if I am going to hunt alone I will not follow a group of them.

The French doors to my room opened. Panicking, I reached into my bedside table and took out my mace. I didn’t know how well I would do in a fight with my hurt leg, but I would fight to my death.

Lucas walked in holding a white box with a blue silk ribbon wrapped around it. My heart sped up as butterflies swarmed through my stomach. The magnetic pull couldn’t go unnoticed as a longing to be in his arms filled my heart. My love for him was still there…and it always will remain, even if we are separated until the day that I die.

“What are you doing here?”

“News travels fast in my world. A bunch of vampires came back telling everyone that Athena Bram had a death wish and that she had been hurt…I came to see if you were okay.”

“You can’t be here the hunters will feel your presence.”

He sat down beside me and ran his fingers over the bandage. “You don’t want me here because you are uncomfortable being around me after what I did.”

“If I said I was uncomfortable would you leave?”

“Is that what you want?”

Of course not, after months of making myself sick over ending what we had and not being able to get him out of my head, I didn’t want him to leave.

I was paranoid that he was in the manor filled with hunters who could pick up on his presence here and if saying I was uncomfortable around him would make him leave, then I would lie.

“Maybe.”

He smirked. “That’s not an answer.”

“Fine, I am uncomfortable having you here.”

“Well, before I leave I want you to understand.”

“Understand what?”

“What I did in the alley was natural for me; it’s in my nature to kill. I don’t kill them in cold blood, in fact I don’t enjoy killing them…not even for food. It’s the only way I can survive. The Lucas you know is the real me.”

“There’s a whole other side to you that I have seen, the ruthless side. You killed that girl to get back at me.”

“Because you hurt me, I was angry and I wasn’t thinking clearly.
