This Chapter has been revised/edited

Kiara was in a hurry to get to the little Korean fast-food shop. She liked going there for three reasons; it was cheap, it was really good, plus her mother never set foot in that shop. It was kind of a safe haven, like Kiara's spot on the beach. She was safe. Or so she thought.

She never saw the black figure lurking in the shadows of the shop watching her intently. Her every move, was what his gaze was locked on, nothing else.

As Leo was alone in his private jet, all he could think about where his mate, his power, his queen could be. He had been on the hunt for years and still found nothing, but when one of his references spotted her in Florida, his heart raced with excitement, but also with fear. He was afraid he would lose her to his brother, Thorn.

If Thorn finally found her, he would destroy the whole entire universe, even if she rejected him. He would stop at nothing until he finally had every part of power there could be. Luckily for Leo's sake, Yana was on his side, she had no point with the source of power, plus she was a coward, but her kind were strong. Yana knew Leo would be a great leader, but she didn't always agree with him. They had a lot of fights, and they were lucky that they still had each other.

Leo stared blankly out his jets window. The clouds were boring. A strange expression crossed his face. He felt something he had never felt before. His mark was burning. He started to scream, he didnt know what to take from this burning. His guards rushed in as soon as they heard the scream from their prince.

Leo rised his hands, saying he was "Okay." but he was scared. He didn't know what this burning feeling meant. As he started to lift up his shirt, that was somewhat burnt off, he saw his cat eye begin to redding, but something was different. He gasped, as did everyone else.

Instead of their being one Lion eye, there was a second one forming.

As Kiara sat down with her Kimchi. She poured lots if hot sauce on it. She was in such a hurry eating it, she didn't even notice the man that came to sit in front of her.

With Kimchi hanging from her mouth, she mumbled, "Can I help you?" she gave him a confused look.

"I need no help from you, but you need help from me." He said with a decent smile. He had perfect white teeth.

"Um? Excuse me?" she asked, as she held her head high and swallowed the rest of the noddles.

"I don't even know you! And you just assume I would let you help me? What are you doing? Did someone hire you to talk to me?" she added. She didn't know why but her instinct already didn't trust this guy, and her instinct was usually right.

So many questions but no answers. She glared at him with her piercing golden eyes into his dark brown ones. He didn't even flinch.

" No one 'hired' me to speak with you. But someone did hire me to find you." he said answering one of her questions. She grunted in diss approval.

"Why would someone hire you to find me? I'm not that hard to find." she laughed at her cheesy joke, he just gave her a smirk, and laughed little. He was quite striking with that smirk across his face.

"Oh but you are." He said, then he added " We have searched for your kind, for--"

"My kind?" Kiara interrupted him. "My kind is Humans." she finished.

" Are you going to let me finish?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, as I was saying, my people have been searching for you for quite awhile, for centuries." he looked at her. Kiara had the most confused look across her face. She couldn't believe this guy. A wave of anger grew in her.

"Look, sir--"

"Andrew." He finished for her.

"-- Anyways, Andrew, I will not except you lying to my face, making up some stupid story. Yes it was nice to meet you and all, but telling me you've been searching for me for centuries? That's a bit corny. I might see you around. Bye Andrew." Kiara said. She couldn't stand this 'Andrew' guy. She threw out her waste and left the shop in a hurry not stopping.
