Guards.

Uncle Colin comes to my dorm within minutes after I call him. He's staying at his house close to campus, which I'm shocked he's still there. Part of me can't believe he's making such a big deal out of this person threatening me. It's not like I'm the first family member to get threatened. He gets threatened all the time. He's the king—the oldest vampire in existence. People threaten him all the time. I'm... nobody. Just, Everleigh. The niece.

My dad is the youngest of his siblings. Even though all three of them were turned at the same time, my uncle is still considered the 'first,' which is just fine with me. I can't imagine what it would've been like to grow up with my dad being the king. I wouldn't want that kind of responsibility.

I don't particularly like being royal. I just want to be normal.

Uncle Colin orders a few people to clean my room for me, promising me that I won't even notice that the blood was ever here. Still, I don't really want to stay in my dorm tonight. Not after... well... all that blood. Even with a new mattress, new sheets, and a new comforter, the smell still lingers in the air. I open a window to let some air in. Maybe it'll help clear out the smell sooner.

I also get guards to stand outside my room, per Uncle Colin's orders. I'm not sure how I feel about the guards, but if they keep anybody from leaving blood in my room like that again, I suppose I don't mind them.

In Asa's mind, he's glad I have guards. He wished that I had more guards. I find his thoughts annoying, but I get where he's coming from. I kind of wish I could send guards with Rowan to protect him from the students at this school.

I glare at Asa, but he just smiles back at me.

Uncle Colin assures me that everything is going to be all right, and I want to believe him. I want everything to be okay, but after everything that has happened, I don’t know that it will be. I am worried sick about the future of our people.

War seems inevitable. I just wish things could be different.

Henry rests his hand at the back of my neck. My hair is up, so he touches skin. I sigh, leaning into him.

His touch is exactly what I need.

Uncle Colin gives me a knowing look.

“I think I want to stay somewhere else tonight,” I tell Uncle Colin. I shiver as I watch them take the bloody mattress from the room. “It’s just a lot—being in here right now.”

“Of course. Do whatever you need to do, Everleigh.” He turns to look at each of my mates. “The four of you had better take good care of my niece. Between all of you, there shouldn’t be any problems tonight, am I right?”

The four of them nod, looking a little terrified, even Asa, who has met Uncle Colin many times before.
