"My little snake is a vampire??" gasped Alex with happy musings. "Well, well, well... I know how to pick them." Alex flicked Arya's chin and continued her scrubbing of the bar top.

"Alex... D-did I ever show hints of vampirism when I worked under you?" Arya asked, her legs dangled off the side of the bar and her eyes flickering to and from the front entrance to the back.

Alex paused in her wiping, "Mm... No. You were an extraordinarily quick learner. And somehow very easily got physically fit... but nothing else."

Arya pursed her lips. After the realization that she was a new breed of vampire, the pack sent her straight to bed after Charlotte squeal a few hundred times in her ear. She slept off her weird vampirical trans that caused her to become animal.

Morning came, and well... she snuck off to Alex.

Because of the bright and brilliant sun, the only customers currently in the bar were the boys littered around the tables, eating breakfast in the cozy booths.

However Arya was looking for a certain boy. A boy who had a mission the first thing today... and it wasn't a safe one.

Alex chuckled, reading Arya's worry. "Calm down love. I feel this way every time a boy goes out for the first time. They always return. You need to breath and give them more credit. Remember, our network goes deep. If something happens to one of them, we get revenge and the boy comes home."

"I know... its just... If I taught him well, he'll return... If he doesn't, it means I failed as a master and lost my student."

Alex slyly glanced at her.

"Reptile?"

"Yes?"

"What are you going to be doing at that Royal Gala?"

Arya faced Alex, "How do you know?"

"Horace told me." Alex waved off. "He knows your secret remember?"

"Ya... I forgot I told him when I moved out." Arya chuckled uncomfortably. It was a bad memory.

"Well?"

Arya sighed, "Well... They are going to introduce me to the vampire society as Devonshire's mate who was claimed and turned... We will dance, the pack will dance. It will be brilliant. Except Horace will sneak off to steal the book as well..."

"Ooh. Entertaining." Alex smirked. Her features then faded. "Just... be careful. I heard a rumor the King is checking his people for who is real. You need to be pure him to survive. Even partial human will kick you out, let alone another vampire."

Arya scoffed and then hissed in pain as she accidently stabbed herself with her lower fangs.

Alex chuckled and handed her a wet towel. Arya placed it to her bruised lips. "Thwis wis swo awwoying." She moaned into the towel, her voice muffled.

Alex laughed, switching to cleaning the cups. "I can tell."

The door swung open.

"Oh I do believe that is Ryan!" Alex beamed. She was right. Ryan stepped inside, his head bowed in shy embarrassment. The door then fully opened to reveal a very well built man.

"Alex. I must praise you for your new little spy. He did quite well..."

Arya paled.

Devonshire didn't notice her yet.
