Klaire's POV:

"You're late." One of the lords said as he shook Jasper's hand. Jasper didn't say anything as he gave me a side glance and smirked.

We didn't actually go that far, surprisingly, I wanted my first time to be special, not just some random hook up.

"Who's this?" The lord said and came to me and eyed me hungrily.

"Klaire Night." I mumble. I was a little bit intimidated by him and the way his eyes raked over me like an animal to their prey. He glared at me as I spoke. Was I not meant to answer that?

"What's the human doing here?" He practically growled and Jasper stares at the lord with no emotion on his face.

Jasper cleared his throat impatiently then. "What's the urgent meeting about, Lucas?" He asked and stood closer to me, why was he overprotective of me? Well, maybe he wasn't but that's what it seemed like.

We had turned up at an empty parking lot that looked like it hadn't been used in years. It probably hadn't been. The wind was harsh all around us and I shoved my hands in my pockets to keep them warm in my jacket. I remember pulling on one thin jacket then saw the wind outside before putting a hoodie on the a thick overcoat over that.

Jasper wore black jeans with a pair of combat boots. He wore a black turtle neck and a dark grey trench coat over the top. He looked good, he also looked good naked, as I have witnessed first hand.

"Well, your majesty, there seems to be a breach in the kingdom, last night a total of 4 vampires have been killed brutally by those awful dogs. I warned you about this King Jasper." Lucas scolds Jasper like a child but as soon as Jasper squints his eyes at Lucas just the tiniest bit, the silver haired man clears his throat. "Uh, but we're working on a solution as we speak."

"So why couldn't we stay home and be in the nice warm undercover?" I mutter. I didn't see the point travelling out an hour to the middle of nowhere to speak for 2 minutes just to travel an hour back again.

Lucas scoffed at me, "humans don't speak unless spoken too. So how about you shut your fucking mouth before I do it for you!?" I look at Lucas scared and then Jasper growled harshly and grabbed Lucas by the throat and lifted him up in the air effortlessly.

"You don't talk to her like that!" Jasper yelled and I took a step back. If that is how much strength he had then what could be possibly do to me if he wanted too?

"Y- Your majesty... you value this human?" Lucas choked as Jasper's hand only tightened around his neck. "She's a human! A pet! How could you love that thing!?" If I were Lucas, I'd shut up because he was only making things worse.

I suddenly heard the snapping of someone's neck and Lucas falling dead on the concrete below. I gasp loudly and take more steps back. He was dead and Jasper just killed him in front of me... for me...
