Seth's POV 'Even with me killing my brother, they still think I'm a weakling. How dare they? Is this how they all view me? A weakling who can't protect himself? Or do they think I'm too cruel and they need to be around to stop me? Should I kill him? If I do, they might say I'm killing my own men and they might turn against me.

Andra's POVWe got to the hotel and went to our booked rooms. I and Ariana stayed together in a double suit. I wasn't so sure if my mate and his friend stayed together. It was so weird calling him my mate, I mean he's a vampire!, I thought giggling. I laid on the bed while Ariana took a shower. My mind was blank and I didn't know what to do. Could he feel the bond just like we could? How was he able to know we were mates?.I took out my laptop and opened my browser. I started researching all I could on vampires.

Well that can be true, I mean it would be crazy if someone loved for that long and didn't have wisdom ,...

Andra's POVI was so happy and anxious for our meeting this morning. To be honest I was a bit sad when he didn't ask me out last night. I wanted to speak about it but I didn't want to be too forward. I also wanted him to put in the effort and knowing he wasn't a wolf didn't make things better.I was overwhelmed with happiness when Ariana's mate told me he also wanted to meet. He also apologized for not saying it earlier. I was so happy that I woke up early , had my bath and looked all pretty. I was so restless and decided to take a little stroll outside to clear my head.

I stopped when I saw a lady hugging him tightly. My heart dropped and my whole body felt like a thousand needles were piercing it.I staggered front and back not knowing what to do. I shaked my head and told myself I wa
