“What do you mean? I’ve known for a while,” I say, lifting my shoulders.
“What does that mean? Have you not claimed her,” Vlad says, raising his eyebrows?
“Not yet,” I huff, shaking my head.
“Why bloody not,” Kon asks, looking at me.
“I don’t want to see her die,” I say, grinding my molars pushing off my chair.
“That’s fucking absurd since you can turn her,” Kon snarls, shaking his head raising his hands.
“I don’t know if I want to do that to her. I don’t want to take her mortality from her,” I scoff, pacing around the room.
“What the fuck does that mean,” Vlad snarls, leaning back in his chair lowering his eyelids.
“It means that I’m fucking confused! I love her so much, yet I fear losing her when she learns of our existence,” I say, stopping closing my eyes, throwing back my head.
“You’re being a fucking idiot,” Vlad says, shaking his head.
“Indeed, you’re a bloody sod,” Kon says, throwing back his head, his laughter flowing out from deep in his chest.
He’s fucking enjoying my conundrum.
Motherfucker.
“Fucking claim her,” Vlad snarls, pushing off his chair.
“Bloody hell, claim her mate,” Kon says, turning up his lips.
“I will,” I say, nodding looking out the window.
“I need to go since it’s early in City Of Souls, and I have an appointment with one of the managers,” Kon says, lifting his chin.
“Later,” I say, walking down the hall.
“Don’t forget to meet up at the portal at the Golden hour,” Vlad yells.
“Will do,” I say, teleporting.

A few weeks later.
It’s our birthday, we’re fucking twenty-one, and it’s fucking awesome!
It’s my birthday, and I’m fucking excited because War got Autumn and me our own Glock.
Autumn is my twin sister; we don’t look alike; she fucking hates shooting, fighting, and anything to do with “brother stuff,” as she puts it. She’s all prissy, dreams of Prince Charming, and happy ever after.
What fuckingever.
Absolfuckinluty I want my man, but I want a fucking badass brother, that’s what I want. I have my eye on one, this brother fucking makes me melt when he’s near, but he doesn’t look at me.
Yeah, I get it! First, he was a prospect, and then he got patched in three years ago, but I was younger but now, what the fuck!
Crazyfuck!
