Sey's POV

What the hell?
My mind is swimming and I can't seem to make a stable thought. Why the hell is he here, and what is he doing with the Baron. Deep down I feel like I already know the answer to that. All of us present here are either related to the Baron or security personnels sans Ursula. And he sure as hell doesn't look like he's a security guard. Damn it. He's royal and I know it.

" Oh my god is that not the vampire from the welcome ceremony ? " Ursula leans in to whisper in my ear , but she messed up cause everyone heard her. I shook my head and feel Ahim's eyes on me.

" God he sure does look hot in a tux "

" Ursula " I hiss as soon as the words leave her mouth. She has been able to make us the center of attraction so far , with curious eyes starring at us , the most curious one from the vampire.

" Excuse their manners please " Baron Molle clears he's throat and moves forward to shake the hands of his visitors

" You're welcome to the Bigfoot territory " he says with a curt nod to the intruders. The Baron of the Vampires , Baron Luthur just nods his head without saying a word.

" You may come in now " aunt Sylvia says leading the way for our guests . Since Baron Molle's wife passed away years back , aunt Sylvia has to assume her role as the Lady of our territory , since she's the closest female related to him. And his wife has no other female sisters. Which is such a relief to him because protocol requires that he marries the next related female of his dead wife.

We make way as our guest stroll into the Baron's home, and god I couldn't keep my eyes off the vampire. Ursula didn't lie when she said he looked hot. The tux he wore cling to him like glue and should seriously be illegal with the way he looks in it. I notice his hair looks the same as it did the night we met. I feel my fingers twitch at memory of running my hands through them, god they were so soft , the softest I've felt. I don't notice I'm starring so hard until he walks beside me, stops and whispers seductively in my ear

" Like what you see ?" I feel his breath on my neck and I feel weak in my knees . I lift my head and stare into his eyes, those eyes I looked into , while running my hands through his hair that night at the pub. I quickly regain my posture and look him back squarely

" Cocky much ? " I whisper back rolling my eyes. He was about to say something again when I felt a presence behind me and a firm hand on my waist. The look on his face turned to pure annoyance and I knew who it was.

" Let's get inside baby " Ahim says behind me looking at the vampire and I cringe. Baby ! Seriously ! He has to be on something. After everything he chooses now to call me that. I step away from him and the vampire and make my way inside and join everyone else. The two men later decide to grace us with their presence when they finally come inside , but they waste no time as they walk into the Baron's office to discuss whatever it is that they came here to discuss.

" Do you think he's here to snitch ? " Summer whispers to me as she comes to stand beside me , staring at the retreating figures of both men. She doesn't need to clarify who because I know.

" I don't think so..he doesn't look like the type that snitches on girls " I tell her and she giggles.

" True but he does look like the type to get into their pants " Ursula snorts as she walks to stand beside us

" Are you sure you're not straight, cause you really seem to not mind talking about men, that vampire in particular " I raise my brows at her

" Come on love , you know I'm not . I just admire a good specimen when I see one " she blinks innocently at us and we laugh. The meeting takes longer than expected. They finally finish and we all settle down on the large dinner table in the dinning room. I sit beside the twins and aunt Sylvia. And the Barons assume their seats a the two ends of the table , their sons at both sides. I'm distracted when the vampire sits at the right side of Baron Luthur . I had the feeling he was royal, but he's son . Shit.

What the hell have I gotten my self into. Not that I would have cared at first. I would have just ignored everything that happened this pass few days, if he hadn't approached me today. Hell that was what I planned to do until he walked up to me , looking and smelling all sexy asking if I like what I see . He obviously doesn't want to forget about it like I do. And now he's made sure of it.

There's chatter around the table as the maids serve. I'm completely distracted and nervous all of a sudden. I tilt my head down a bit, but I feel eyes on me,and don't even bother to look up to see who. It's probably Ahim , he's probably trying to find a way to talk to me. But I'm not ready for that not after seeing the vampire again. It feels like I've done something forbidden with him and I don't want anyone to find out. But I haven't. Have I ? I look up at him and he's in a deep conversation with his father. But he abruptly turns and meets my eyes a knowing smirk playing on his lips. Damn him.

I play with the salad on my plate, arranging the vegetables according to colours. As the minutes go by and it feels like this dreadful dinner isn't going to end , I decide to take matters into my own hands

" Um aunt Sylvia ...I gotta go , I'm not feeling very well " I lean in and whisper in her ear. She looks at me like she's trying to figure me out. And I give her a weak smile.

" Sure , I'll see you at home " she smiles back and I kiss her cheek grateful

" Can we go too? " Cecil says from beside me attempting to bat his lashes at her

" No way you leave with me " aunt Sylvia tells him and turns back to eating her food. Cecil glares at me. But I don't have time for his childishness. I need to go before shit goes down

" Excuse me " I say as I get up from the table as gently as possible

" Is everything okay Sey ? " Baron Molle chooses this time to talk to me, much to my surprise

" Yes " I clear my throat and answer him , giving him an apologetic smile

" I think I should come with you " Ahim says from beside his father and I almost cry

" No I'm fine " I try my best to assure him

" But- " he starts but Ursula cuts him short

" I think she wants to be alone " she snaps at him and i take that as my cue to leave. Not until Ursula mouths " call me "

I rush out of the house and inhale the fresh air. It felt like I was suffocating in there. I sigh allowing the cold air to hit my skin it's almost 5 pm and the weather is getting cold. I start walking out the compound when I realize I can't go home. Because I know Ahim and he's going to want to come check up on me and so will aunt Sylvia. There's only one place I can go to without being bothered. Sheackle.

I make the short walk to the place and immediately smile when I take in the environment. The witches sure did a number on this one . The environment is so siren that it literally takes my breath away. I jump and settle down on my favorite tree and lie down flat with my eyes close.

I don't know how long I was gone , but I immediately open my eyes the moment i hear footsteps coming my way. I sit up, getting ready for whoever or whatever that was going to come out of the woods.

And I know I'm going to recognize that dark long hair wherever and whenever I see it. And I know, no one in my territory can pull that look off like he does.

" Rule breaker much ? "
