I stopped, feeling like the wind was being kicked out of me. Leaving Robyn after that mind-blowing kiss hurt like hell. Though, I realized that I had to keep her safe. Something told me down into my core that I needed to figure this out. My best bet was contacting a vampire I knew, because I knew humans wouldn't know anything. There was only one vampire contact that I had throughout the years. I only ever contacted him when I was in dire need.

He was a nomad by heart. Just someone I had come across in my travels. We even traveled for a bit together but my heart just wasn't in it. I missed and craved my home more than anywhere. We kept in touch and whenever I needed anything, he was always there. He dropped by a few times to the house but never stayed too long. Probably thought he was wearing out his welcome, but that was the furthest from the truth.

I swore as I walked along the edge of my property. I also had to find a place to stash my bike. That wasn't very easy either but thankfully just outside of this area there was a garage. I had to pay to keep the bike there but it would do for now. At the gate, I pressed in the combination and smiled when the gates opened. While I enjoyed being a vampire, I also enjoyed my privacy. I knew by living in the south, that I was opening myself up to the vampire southern wars that still brewed in the south.

I unlocked the house as soon as I sped to the front door. I didn't want to be gone longer than necessary. Being gone the entire weekend gave me time to hear back from my contacts. I wasn't sure what he'd have in store for me but, at this point he was all I had. I tried ignoring how empty the large southern house felt. There were fireplaces in nearly every room excluding the bathrooms, of course.

Searching the bedside tables, I found the piece of paper that I always kept with his number scrawled on the front. Part of me wondered if he'd even have the time for this. I needed to also comprehend exactly what I wanted to search for. Keeping this from the Volturi was important, I knew that. Keeping them in the dark was easy sometimes but being so far south always left a gap. The Volturi were constantly intruding on the territory disputes because no one seemed to think about the human threat.

I sat down on the edge of the bed with my head in my hands. I had to protect her. She was important to me, but in way I was realizing she was also important to Jasper. This really made no sense to me considering they never met and I was so sure she was just mine. Though I had to understand that I still had the love for Jasper as always which hadn't changed. I thought I'd let him go with Robyn now in my life, but that hadn't happened yet.

I suddenly knew what I needed from him. He had to seek out any information about mating with three mates. It didn't matter if they were all human or not, just mating. I understood that perhaps in human worlds there were religions that had the husband with multiple wives but this was not my situation.

Pulling out my cell phone, I sent a quick text to Robyn. She wouldn't believe if I told her I had already made it. This conversation with my contact weighed heavy on our relationship. I was surprised by the kiss completely taken aback by her boldness, but I reveled in it. I hadn't had companionship in centuries. I was forced most of the time in the wars to have relations with the humans we fed from. When I discovered Jasper was my mate and that he was dead, I never felt the urge to want anyone else. He was it for me at all times.

I pressed the numbers on the phone hoping for a good outcome.

"Well, well. I didn't expect to hear from you at least until another decade, fucker!"
