I was standing in the library with Vincent beside me. The King lounged in a chair while Josh stood behind it smiling at me. Earlier we'd decided to leave Des in the room since she hadn't woken up yet.

"My dear, today is the first of many important days in your long life to come." A smile spreads across the Kings face revealing his fangs. "You will be welcomed into this clan with open arms. Tonight we'll host a party in honor of your choice to become part of our family."

He was standing now, arms held wide open. Casting Vince a quick look I open my mouth and speak, "Sire. I'm sorry but I can not accept your gracious offer at the moment."

His face drops and so does Josh's. "Why is that my child?" His voice was steady but sharp as a knife.

"I feel as if it's not my time yet. There is much I need to do on my own before I can become one of your clan." Pausing to catch my breath I look him in the eye not wavering. "However, I'd still like to help with the war efforts."

He sits back down on his makeshift thrown and waves his hand towards me carelessly. "Vincent, what do you have to say about your pupils decision?" Vince turns to me with a sparkle in eyes that can only be described as honor.

"She is accountable for her own destiny and will take the necessary steps to ensure it's to her liking. I as well must decline your offer to become the commander of your army. My loyalties lie with the clan, but I am not the proper person to handle such matters." I stare at Vincent with disbelief.

"Child! Leave us!" The King shouts at me while glaring daggers at a calm Vince.

"Go Skye," Vince mumbles to me. "Carry out what I've asked of you. I'll be fine." Nodding my head, I walk away from the library numbly.

Pushing my room door open I feel something soft and warm collide with me. "Where were you! I was so worried!"

Something wet touches my shoulder, I pull away. "Des, why are you crying?" She turns her head, following her gaze I see crumpled paper on the bed. Storming over to it I read it hastily. Turning my murderous gaze back on her she shrinks away from me.

"What is this? Who gave you this?!" I yell at her.

"I-I-I d-don't know. P-please don't b-be m-m-mad at me." By now she's sunk to the floor quivering in fear, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Shhh baby girl stop," I whisper kneeling beside her. "Why are you so scared of me? What did I do wrong?"

Looking up at me with her blood shot glassy eyes her next words cut through me. "Finding you came at a price..."

Tilting my head slighting I motion for her to continue. She takes a deep breath and releases it before continuing.

"It was about 2 months after your funeral when I got a text from this guy saying he had info on your death. At first I was skeptical, but curiosity got the better of me, I just had to know." She stops and wipes her eyes, scooting closer to me. Resting her head on my chest she continues. "We met up for dinner at a little hole in the wall diner. He must have put something in my drink when I went to the restroom, because after I came back I started feeling really tired. Next thing I remember I'm waking up handcuffed to his bed with my mouth gagged. He stood there naked, looking at me hungrily. H-he.... He raped me. The words he spoke once it was done still haunt me, 'Your precious girlfriend is still alive. Be glad I don't change you into a wolf like me and make you my bitch.'" She sobs uncontrollably.

I pull her closer to me, I can't believe that she went through this just to find me. The bastered raped her, if I ever find him I will rip his beating heart out of his chest. It wasn't until she spoke that I realized I'd thought aloud, "Babe no, it's all in the past now. All that matters is I've found you."

Looking into her eyes I see the same sparkle as before, he tried to break her but failed miserably. My baby was strong, he couldn't change that.

Nuzzling my face into her neck I hold her tight. "I'm sorry. I should have been there to protect you, but I wasn't. Nothing like that will ever happen again. I promise." She nods and kisses my temple before standing.

"Come on, we gotta pack and head out." Standing I do as she says and soon after we're walking down the grand stairwell.

As if on cue Josh appears with a cheeky smile which fades when he sees that Desiree is beside me. I glance between the two of them before dropping the bags and running towards him.

My hand wraps around his throat and his back slams into the wall. "I'm going to kill you," I growl. He gasps and struggles to get free of my grasp. Des is tugging on my arm trying to get me to let him go, finally I do. He crumples to the ground trying to get air into his lungs.

"What the fuck Skye? Why'd you choke me?" He asks his face beat red.

My expression is livid. "You gave her the note. Your the jackass who threatened her. Give me my car keys, before I change my mind on letting you live."

"I'm the Prince of this clan! You will treat me with respect!" He shouts, specs of spit spraying everywhere.

I laugh. "Okay so you grew up with a silver spoon down your throat, what's that post to mean to me? Hm? I'm not scared of your punk ass Joshua. Now, be a good little boy and go fetch my car keys."

Turning his back to me he storms off as Vince walks in smirking. "Your regard of authority baffles me, Skye. Here's your keys, safe travels." He tosses me the keys before walking out of the main doors.

Chasing after him I call out, "Where you going?"

In return all I get is a small chuckle as he climbs into the jeep we used the previous night and speeds off into the night. Following in his footsteps I throw the bags into the trunk of my Audi R8 and drive off into midnight with my angel at my side.
