asked. “It means you just might be the most powerful werewolf out there.” We both went silent. “It’d be best if you two left.” “What why?” “Because it’s not safe here anymore. Kaleb I want you to pack your things and get Zoey as far away from here as possible.” “Yes Sir.” Kaleb said standing up. “But dad.” He looked at me with so much sadness in his eyes it hurt. “Zoey please do this for me. I want you to go and leave this life behind.” Then Father did something that he hasn’t done in awhile, he hugged me and I couldn’t help but hug back. “Now you must go and tell no one you’re leaving. Hurry.” He showed us out and slammed the door. “Again with the door slamming.” I sighed. “Let’s go.” Kaleb said. I nodded and followed him to my rooms. “We need to hurry and change so try and wear something human looking.” He walked into the bathroom. I ran to my closet and took out some jeans, sneakers, and a tank top and quickly changed into them. Kaleb came out a few minutes later wearing a dark blue shirt and black jeans. “Bags.” We both said at the same time and laughed. We raced to pack our things. “Done?” “Done.” I replied. “Good let’s go out the secret path in the conference room.” We quietly and quickly moved to the conference room and found our way to the tunnel. “I’ll go first and you can lower the suitcases to me.” He jumped down and landed with a muffled thump. Then he whispered up to me. “Ok.” I handed the bags into the darkness then jumped down myself. We ran in darkness for what seemed like forever but it had only been a few minutes then we saw the little light. We exited the tunnel near the lake. “Ah I will miss playing in this lake.” I said looking at the water. “We must keep moving.” Kaleb took my hand. “How are we supposed to get anywhere I mean we don’t even have a car?” “I have a car.” He said. “What? Really? How?” “You ask too many questions.” He laughed. “I got it a few years back when I was supposedly 16.” “Oh that’s right.” I said remembering he had been made immortal at the age of 19. Forever frozen as the handsome devil. “What kind of car?” “Mustang.” He said pointing into the trees where a dark red car was parked. “Wow!” I said running over to it.”Nice huh?” He asked putting our things in the backseat. “It’s gorgeous.” He climbed into the car and I slide into the passenger seat. “Where to?” “Don’t know yet. For now we just have to get out of the state.” He started the car and drove off down to the road. “Kaleb I’m sorry about everything.” “Why?” “Because I’m always getting you into trouble.” He took my hand in his and brought it to his lips and kissed it. “As long as I am with you everything’s fine.” I blushed and he smiled. “At least I know I can startle you.” I playful punched him in the arm with my other hand. “You didn’t startle me.” “Oh really?” He raised one eyebrow, something I wish I could do. “Yes really now keep your eyes on the road.” He laughed and I leaned over and turned on the radio which he turned right back off. “Hey I was going to listen to that.” “I thought maybe we could talk. It’ll make the trip seem shorter.” “Fine then what do you want to talk about?” “I don’t know.” “Oh you’re a great help.” I said rolling my eyes. “How about we talk about you then?” He suggested. “What’s so great about me?” “Lots of things like how your eyes sparkle in the sunlight and how your laugh makes you look so cute and when your hair is in your eyes it makes you look mysterious and sexy at the same time.” I was certainly shocked by the things he was saying, I couldn’t believe my ears. He thought I was sexy? I mean when does a vampire ever get told by a werewolf that she was sexy? Out of nowhere a sudden lust went rippling through my body making me gasp. “Zo what’s wrong?” “Pull over.” “I can’t there’s nowhere to turn.” “Pull over! NOW!” I yelled at him. The car stopped and I jumped out and ran, but I didn’t get far before the lust came back. “Zoey what’s wrong?” I heard him coming up behind me. I’ve never been this hungry before. “Kaleb go away.” I told him. I could feel my fangs coming out at the smell of his blood. I bit my lip and blood swelled up. I could taste the rusty, metallic, honey of it. Kaleb touched my back and I turned towards him. “You’re hungry and by the looks of it you haven’t eaten in four days.” I nodded not able to speak. “Zo you can feed from me.” “No!” I said my fangs flashing. “Just for now.” He kneeled in the grass next to me. “Go ahead.” He tilted his head to the side. I reached forward and pulled him towards me. “This will hurt a little at first.” He nodded and I bit into him. The blood tasted so good going down my throat and I felt closer to Kaleb then I ever had before. It was like we were linked through our minds. I could feel him becoming one with my soul as I drank. I noticed too soon that his breathing got heavier and he moaned. Being bitten by a vampire is like getting high, the bites release a toxin and it numbs the victim so they feel no pain. He started to pass out, I had taken too much. I retracted my fangs and laid him on the ground. “Kaleb are you alright?” He smiled weakly. “Yes.” He whispered. “I’m sorry I took too much I was just so hungry.” “Zoey I’m a werewolf this is nothing.” I smiled. “Your too good for me.” I leaned down and kissed him. He tensed up but then I felt his hand behind my head and he kissed me back. We pulled back breathing heavily. “It is you that is to good for me Zoey.” He said. “C’mon we need to get back to the car.” He told me. “Will you be able to walk?” I asked as he stood up. “Yeah see I’m perfectly fine.” He stepped forward and fell. “I see that.” I replied laughing. I stood up and help him to his feet then I put his arm around my shoulder. “I’ll help you then.” We walked back to the car in silence. Once we got there I told him that I would drive for a little. “You can drive?” he asked sarcastically. “Yes I can drive you may be older than me human wise but I’m older than you immortal wise.” I laughed. Actually even immortal wise I only had 2 years over him. “I always love an older woman.” He said getting into the car. “What’s that supposed to mean?” “Older women tend to be sexier.” “So if I wasn’t older than you, you wouldn’t like me?” I asked afraid of the answer. “No Zo I’d love you even if you were younger.” I just stared at him. “What?” “Um…you s..said you l..l..loved me.” He turned bright red. “Um, well yeah I do.” My breath caught in my throat. “I love you.” He looked me right in the eyes as he said it. “I wasn’t ever able to say that before but I guess after the feeding it changed me.” He smiled. “I’ve never before felt so close to you.” I didn’t know what to say. Yeah I loved him to but I didn’t deserve him but I said the words that in my heart I knew were true. “I love you to.” He stopped speaking. “What?” “I said I love you.” Everything was silent then a big grin crossed his face. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited to hear those words.” I smiled. I looked back at the road in time to see a hotel sign. “Let’s pull over for the night.” He nodded in agreement. I got out of the car and bought the last available room, which was the honeymoon suite, yeah I know just my luck. As I helped Kaleb to the room he kept on smiling. “Honeymoon suite?” He asked as I unlocked the door. “It was the only room left.” “Ah ok.” I pushed the door open and stopped. There was one heart shaped bed and no couch. I walked over to the bathroom and turned on the light. There was one huge hot tub bath. “Do you want to bath first?” Kaleb asked me. “No you can go ahead.” “Well there’s room for two you want to bath together?” He laughed as I turned bright red. “I was just kidding.” “D…do you really w…want to?” I asked looking at the floor. “Uh yeah I guess.” I was about to reply when there was a knock at the door. “I’ll get it.” I said and rushed out of the bathroom. I went to the door and looked out of the peephole. I saw the manager standing there so I opened the door. “Miss Briar?” “Yes?” “We need to have a few words with you.” A big man stepped from around the corner. That’s when everything went wrong.

Chapter 3
The man reached out and grabbed me before I had the chance to run. “Don’t struggle you’ll only make it harder for yourself.” The man whispered in my ear. “Don’t hurt her Max we need her alive.” So the man’s name was Max. “Is it only you?” The manager asked. “Yes I’m the only one here.” I said a little loud so Kaleb would hear. “I’ll check the bathroom, keep an eye on her Max she’s a feisty one.” Max smiled as he handcuffed me. “Won’t be much of a problem now will you?” I shook my head, even though I could easily break the handcuffs with a flick of the wrist. The manager came out of the bathroom. “No one here.” “I told you.” I snickered at him. “Don’t make fun of me girl you are no position to do so.” “Eddie don’t get all mad at the little lady.” “Eddie? What kind of a name is Eddie?” Eddie walked over and smacked me across the face. I won’t lie for a human he was damn strong because that smack made my ears ring. “I told you not to make fun of me girl. Grab her and let’s go.” Max pulled me up by my hair and dragged me out to an old looking van. I tried to look for Kaleb but he was nowhere in sight. Good let him get as far away as possible. I was shoved into the car where another man was sitting. “This is the girl huh? She doesn’t look like a vampire.” “What? A vampire? They don’t exist.” Another smack. “Yes they do and we know your one of them so don’t play dumb with us.” By the end of the night I was going to have a permanent red mark across my face. “Now let’s get her to the boss. I’m sure he’ll be pleased with what we have to offer.” Eddie slid in next to me and Max into the driver’s seat. We drove for about an hour before we finally arrived at a house. I was taken out of the car and into the house. “Max go find Mr. Croft.” Eddie told him. Max handed me off to the other guy from the car and walked off down the hall. A few minutes later he returned with a man who looked to be about 45. “Is this
