From a Vampire's Brother to a Human's Mate (Book 2: Completed)

Chapter 33

Tony’s POV

As soon as Dawn fell asleep I laid her down on the bed and tucked her in. I went out into the hallway to find Travis so I could check on Julie.

He was coming up the stairs as I was walking out of my room.

“Hey, Travis,” I got his attention.

“What up?” He asked, walking up to me.

“Is Julie alright? I didn’t mean to snap at her earlier. It’s just . . .”

“No, I completely understand. She was out of line snapping at you and Dawn like that,” Travis shook his head.

“Yeah, but I understand where she is coming from. Dawn isn’t safe in this world, but I feel like I just got her to really be comfortable with me and now with this . . . I just want things to get to normal. I mean for us of course. I want Dawn to know what normal for us is,” I complained. “I am making no sense.”

“No, you are making perfect sense, but these are the difficulties of having a human mate. Don’t worry. You are a strong Alpha and she will be strong for you. Dude, your mom had not only two mates, but one of them was a vampire. I think your family is just cursed with having difficult mates. And then there is whatever is going on with Felix and Hannah. Like really?” He scoffed.

“Just consider yourself lucky,” I laughed.

“I do,” He smiled and looked down the hallway.

Julie’s head popped out of their door. “Travis, what are you doing?” She asked stepping out into the hallway. “Oh, Tony. I just wanted to apologize,” She stepped towards us, but I raised my hand to her.

“You’re fine. I wanted to apologize to you. I understand where you were coming from,”  I nodded my head, “I should be the one apologizing for snapping at you like that.”

“No, I know why you did it. I didn’t think before I spoke. I understand now what that must have seemed like to you, but I was really just worrying for her,” She explained.

“Like I said, I understand. Don’t worry about it. Go, get some sleep.” I nodded to both of them.

Travis led Julia through the door and closed it behind them.

I let out a deep breath and looked to my door where Dawn was sleeping behind. And then I heard someone stomping up the stairs and I turned and look to the stairs again.

“Oh, hey Tony,” Hannah bit out.

“What is going on?” I looked to her angry yet tired face.

“You’re brother won’t listen to me , won’t talk to me, won’t even look at me!” She snapped. “He is acting like a complete child! It’s like suddenly because I am a witch he doesn’t want me anymore.” That was when I saw the tears in her eyes. “Ugh!” He looked away frustrated and wiped at her eyes, then covered her face.

“That’s not it, Hannah,” I sighed. “Hey look at me,” I pulled at her wrists gentle until she let them drop from her face. “I have never seen my brother care for someone the way her cares for you. He never lets a girl boss him around or hang around him for as long as he has with you. You mean something to him and that is why he has become so childish and most of all I think he is hurt. He believes that you don’t trust him because you weren’t able to tell him about you when he told you about him. That took a lot from him.” I explained.

“You know this is all your fault,” She sighed. “You and your alpha senses you just had to figure out that I am a witch, didn’t you? I was just trying to help you and you . . . you ruined everything!” She snapped and I pulled her into a hug.
