The man stopped in front of Garrett and smiled. Jade looked up; his eyes met hers. He had light brown hair and green eyes, his smile mouthwatering. “Hello, I am Maximus, Max for short,” Max said.             Jade smiled and then looked over at Garrett.             “This is Jade she is a little shy.” He laughed.             “Ah Jade, you smell nice. It’s nice to meet you.” Max said.             Jade just smiled. Max extended his hand to shake hers. Her hand trembled but made it into his hands. He gently closed his hand and shook it and then released it.             Garrett cleared his throat; Max brought his attention to him. “We sho

            Jade turned around; Max stood there with Garrett. Selena moved back a little and took a bow.             “I just want to show her she is not to fear the vampires in the town.” She begged.             “You do not need to scare her any more than she already is. When she is ready to accept that we will not hurt her she will go out on her own.” Max growled.             Garrett moved quickly to Jade's side, she smiled as he put his arm around her waist. “Jade are you ready to go and see all the bloodsuckers outside?” Max said.             “Umm won't they bite me?” She asked.             “No, but since you still fear that I ask that you s

             Garrett turned towards Jade and darted towards her. The man let Jade go before he got there. Jade grabbed around her wrists, Garrett looked down and saw the bracelets.             “Spell Blade.” He spoke. “Guards!”             “Ha, ha, ha. You're too late Garrett she’s already been marked.” He said.             The guards rushed over and arrested the man, Garrett hugged Jade and walked with her inside. Max waited by the door. Jade messed with bracelets, Max grabbed a hold of her hand and examined them.             “They are from the Spell Blades, she’s been marked,” Max said.             “Marked, what does that mean?” Garrett

              “An hour at most, and then I will do your request.” He whispered.             Max nodded, Garrett walked past him, he slammed the door before walking down the stairs. The guards at the gate opened it without asking questions. He ran as fast as he could to the nearby forest area. He wasn’t eager to find a kill, just in a hurry to be by himself so he could think harder. Garrett's breathing started relaxing, he leaned against a tree and closed his eyes.             His thoughts again were about Jade. He concentrated on her beautiful smile, her amazing body, and her personality. He thought about the night he kissed her for the first time, she was upset that night and he made her night better.             A smile formed o

              Jade, and Dani as well as the rest of the people turned towards the door. Jayden, Dimitri, Ivan, Selena, and her people all stood there.             She ran down the stairs, “Daddy!” She cried.             She rushed into his arms he barely had enough time to move his hands out of her path. He looked over at Dimitri and Ivan before moving his arms around his upset daughter. Jayden didn’t have the time to feed before he got there, her scent lingered under his nose.             “Daddy they took Garrett.” She cried.             “I know baby, we're going to go and get him, but first you have to let me put my stuff in my room, and then I need to drink somethin
