Recap
"I'll only ask once more who sent you?!" I shouted at him
"I did"
came a familiar voice
*~~*~* *~*~~*
I turned only to see Theodoric walking towards me .
"Might I ask why ?"I ask my voice filled with an underlying threat
"While I'll apologize for harming one under your protection, business must go on and it would seem this one,"he said gesturing to my mate "has a quite large price".
"Although I see why you would want to protect her,she is incredibly beautiful"he said examining her.
"And also my beloved".At this he froze and moved away from her.
"My most sincere apologies my lord. I had no idea"He stated carefully knowing not to anger me past my current state.
"I want information on who is after her and why they are after her,on her lineage,every single thing that you can find about her and I want it by tomorrow evening"I said dropping the a**hole and picking up my mate.
"Consider it done"He said and with that I walked away but before I could completely leave the alley he stopped me
"You might want to tighten security on her my client wanted her death to seem like the serial killer the press is going on about" He said but we both knew that it was a vampire at work.
"My client also knows much about her,her daily routine,her house ,every thing."he said.I simply nodded my head and walked away.
I picked up her purse and phone on my way out,luckily they had not sustained any damage. I took her home making sure to erase the event from her mind and plant new ones.After tucking her in,i called for two trusted member of my line to serve as her guards.
As soon as they arrived I gave them instructions,i left them to it .
I had a lot to do and very little time to get it done.
As soon as I arrived at the mansion,Tristin briefed me about the information he was able to get from our 'temporary guests'.Afterwhich I explained the events that had taken place as well as what Theodoric had brought to my attention.
The three of us had unanimously agreed,when we left the palace that we would not interfere.
But if what Theodoric told me is true, the violence will inevitably spill into the human society

Ivyanna's pov
I woke up sunday morning with a vague recollection of how I got home. I felt like something happened,something important that I seem to be forgetting. I pondered on this while stirring my tea,soon a knock sounded on my door startling me out of my thoughts.
Opening the door I came face to face with the only people that I could genuinely call my friends.
Riley North and Celeste Hill the two people I know can do anything for me.
Riley grew up in a middle class family with great and supporting parents and I sometimes visit.It's always fun to watch her banter with her twin Ronnie.The infuriating jerk could be a sweetheart at times.
While Celeste comes from a very poor family,if you would consider them as one.
Celeste's mom left her at with her eldest brother .
"Hi guys"I said opening the door fully.
"what's the occasion?"I asked as they came in.
"Since when did it become a crime to visit your friend"replies Riley.
"Ummm since the said friends ditched you"I retorted
"Ivy,you know we love you but Casey is a first class bitch and you're the one she wants to hang out with so..."
"So you left me to the wolves"I asked,interrupting Riley's statement.
"We had a job"Celeste said speaking for the first time since she entered my apartment.
I froze for a few minutes Celeste had a job as a waitress but her real source of income was as a strip dancer in some fancy club and now despite my efforts Riley has joined her.
"Guys please,how many times do I have to tell you that place is dangerous I can handle your fees just let me"
"We know that you can cover all our expenses but we cannot impose our problems on you"says Celeste.
"Yeah you already pay for our house rent we can't let you pay for the academy as well"Riley chirps in.
"But...."
"We'll be careful .... we promise we'll be careful "Celeste said .
I signed knowing that there was no way I could change their minds.
"Well unless you two have something else to say,i am going to grab my popcorn and watch tv " with that they switch back to their normal loud and annoying selves. I swear,if I was not the owner of this apartment block the owner would have kicked me out because of the amount of noise we make.
All in all life's good
