Luke's outrage completely warranted that we hole ourselves up together in one of the luxurious vampire rooms. The place was built for sex with rows of chains and restraints, as well as a bowl of strawberries and a bucket of wine suitable for human guests, but as Luke paced on a velvet rug, I knew that sex was the last thing on his mind.

"How do they know about my mother?" he hissed and slammed a fist against the wall. "If they know who she is, what she is, then they could have done something. She sacrificed her freedom to prepare me for my fate, but she'd never warned me about vampires trying to take over my life."

I rested a gentle touch on his shoulder and he stiffened, but didn't shrug me away. "They're a little bossy, but they've lived for a long time. They've learned secrets and have access to powers we don't fully understand. I'm sure they had their reasons."

He faced me and rage burned in his eyes. "What if they could have prevented her from being taken to prison? I'm the one who told the humans about what she'd done to me. But if I'd seen supernaturals were real, if a single vampire had shown themselves to me, I would have believed in my mother's visions. She didn't have powers that I could understand." He thrust a finger at the closed door. "But those things, no one can deny they're not human."

Only wanting to console him, I shushed him and pulled him into an embrace. He bent to accommodate my stature and buried his nose into my neck. His fingers laced through my hair that curled at my back. "You're still going through with it, aren't you?" he asked, his words muffled.

I sighed and held onto him as tight as I could. I didn't know how else to assure him that even if I bonded with Xavier, I'd always belong to Luke. We were meant for each other in ways that completed me and made me feel safe. "Why does everything always have to be so complicated?" I complained. "None of us asked for this life. It's just the way it is."

He pulled away and a hard line bulged at his jaw. His fingers cupped my elbows as he looked into my eyes with such ferocity and devotion that I was glad he steadied my weight. "Xavier isn't the only one who's had visions about you," he whispered, his voice low and demanding. "My mother centered our lives around a future where you held me like you are holding me now. You and I are meant to save the world."

I smiled and ran my touch up his arms. I took his face in my hands and brought his lips to mine. The soft kiss was gentle and undemanding, one that cultivated a more familiar connection between us that grew every day. "And that's exactly what we're doing," I reminded him when I pulled away. I ran a thumb across his lower lip that was plump from my kiss.
