Izzy isnt telling me something. I cant help if she wont let me. What if she imprinted. I wouldnt be able to save her. He will kill her and Demetri. I needed to talk to him.

I stood from my desk and headed to Demetris room. He was sitting on the bed staring blankly at the wall.

"Hello," I said.

"Youre Izzy's mother right? How is she doing?" Demetri said.

"She is just fine. She is staying at Jess's dorm room for the time being," I said.

"Good," Demetri said with a sigh.

"Im just coming here with a warning," I said to him. "Do not get close to my daughter, Understand. If she... if you imprinted with her that is a death wish. For you and her and I dont want my daughter dead because of you. So dont get attached okay?" I said.

He looked at me for a moment before responding. "Of course I wouldnt want your daughter hurt,"  Demetri said calmly and slowly.

I swore his already pale skin became paler. "You Imprinted already," I whispered.

"No, I dont know your daughter. I met her twice. She was nice so I am nice in return," he paused. "I was just worried about her. She came in with a black handprint on her cheek. I was worried," he said.

"I didnt realize she was being hurt," I whispered feeling guilt.

"Long shot," He whispered. "If you let me go I could take your daughter away and she would never be hurt again,"

"Why would you do that?" I asked.

"Im not a monster. Im not like others in my coven. I have family who has been abused in their human life, I wouldnt want that on anyone," he said with a sigh.

"As much as I like that offer you know I can't let you go," I said with a sigh and looked down.

"I understand," Demetri looked down.

"Please dont get attached. Im begging at this point okay Demetri?"

"Okay," he said, "I wont,"

"Thank you. Get some rest.  Izzy will be back tomorrow," I said and stood and left the room.

Izzy POV

I opened my eyes. I was curled onto my side.

"Good morning Izzy," Jess said.

"Where am I?" I asked looking around the unfamiliar room.

"My room.. dorm room. You're going to be staying with me for a while,"

"I have to go see Demetri,"

"You need to calm down and not freak out about him because if your parents know you are imprinted they will kill him. So calm down. We need to avoid any suspicion okay?"

I looked at her confused.

"God, what did they give you. Hello? You remember me?" She said sarcastically.

"Yes," I sighed. "I am just confused. I don't remember anything. How did I get here?" I asked.

"I talked to your mom about your father. He is hurting you, you must understand that I didn't kidnap you," he said.

I let out a laugh. "Jess I know you didn't kidnap me," I said and looked down. "How did you allow my mother to agree?"

"I told her to look at you... really look at you and she did. She wants you safe. She loves you," He said.

"When do I have to go back?" I whispered.

"Today for your shift," She said.

"Fantastic," I said

"I know. But we need to come up with a plan?"

"Plan?"

"Demetri," she said.

"What can I do Jess..."

"I know itll be difficult but you need to act like he is anyone else. I talked with him the other day," she bit. "Hes your mate which is why the imprint didnt need a blood exchange," she said.

"I am so dead," I whispered.

"We just have to hide it. Ill help you escape with him. Okay just give me time,"

"Jess No," I said to her my voice firm. "I will not let you kill yourself over my mistake. I will find a way to get him out... me out... Both of us  out. Ill just need time. But you have a mate. I wont let you die over me," I said to her.

"Izzy you saved Jo... let me save you," she said.

"Jess I said no. I got myself into this mess and I can get myself out and hell if I get killed good. I dont want to live this life," I said.

"Izzy let me help you," she said.

"Jess this is no longer up for discussion," I snapped at her.

"O-okay," she whispered. "I just want to help you,"

"And Ill never forgive myself If I get you killed Jess. Youre my best friend. Please drop it. I cant lose you,"

"And I cant lose you either," She said. "I just want you safe and happy Izzy," she touched my arm.

"I know Jess. I know. But I have to do this one on my own okay?"

She took my hand. "Okay," she paused. "Maybe you can get me out too," she whispered.

"Ill do my best Jess," I whispered. "We will get out together."

She nodded "Okay," she said and squeezed my hand. She looked at the time. "We better go before we miss morning meeting," she said.

"Yeah, my favorite part of the day,"  I said sarcastically.

"Mine too," she nudged my shoulder.

"Lets get ready?" I said and stood.

"Ready for the best day ever," she giggled.
