I re pain that came with the silver It was so bad, I couldn’t even think straight I rehtly aroundpain to stop

"I know you attacked me at school"

"Yes, yes I did" His smile broadened

Words failed me when I try to describe the hate I had developed for thisabout him annoyed me; his deep voice, and his boot cut jeans with his tucked in singlet I even hated the way the light seeped down his long blond hair, barely settling on each strand

"How dare you! You could have askedup here You didn’t have to attack rowl vibrated in rowl as an indication for a fight He wanted to fight e of silver Not that he needed it, though, I was outer, taller, and faster than I was Before I could even jump at Tay, Eli had restrained my hands behind my back

"Stop," Eli demanded fiercely into my ear

"Control your pet" Tay snickered

He narrowed his eyes at rasp I was angry and I wasn’t going to be satisfied until I tore his head froh this year and last flooded into ainst Eli, trying to freeatits way up ht to ic I concentrated on the plant hanging fro, above the coffee table, a few row and stretch,its way towards Tay’s head rapidly I heard Mr Aleksandrov gasp

The plant, which I identified immediately as a Golden Pothos Vine, my rasped at his throat as he tried to pull the vine away but it was too tight His eyes ith fear and sasps escaped from his throat

"Her concentration," Mr Aleksandrov stated calmly

Eli knocked me to the floor,loosely down to the ground Tay took no tirabbed his chain and ju hiuided steps, Tay recovered fro a vampire?"

I couldn’t help but sust Tay and Eli stared each other down as I rose to my feet

"Tay, relax," Mr Aleksandrov commanded

I saw his jaw clench in frustration before he returned to leaning on the couch, twirling his silver like he was moments earlier Eli’s eyes narrowed in onpiece of silver from his back pocket He wouldn’t, would he?

"Don’t restrain her," Aleksandrov announced

Oh thank god so sense

"She attackedto supress a laugh He sounded like he was in pri caic"

Tay focused on oing to get Tay to be on guard here tonight but since you handle her better, Eli, you can do it"

Tay sreement

"We have to leave now; other issues to attend to I trust that you will keep everything under control"

"Yes, sir"

Tay and Mr Aleksandrov left the cabin

"Let’s talk," Eli suggested, gesturing to the couches

I walked over to the couch opposite Eli and dropped into it

"The second you are no longer a vael"

"… and what does that entail, exactly?"

"We will becoross’ face and his lips curved into a delectable se at the word blood before"

How surprising I didn’t think Eli was capable ofa joke

"And how exactly are we bonded by blood? I drink yours, you drinkis forbidden"

He didn’t elaborate as to why it was forbidden and I wasn’t going to ask It was obvious; that it was only a va

"You will receive a tattoo on your wrist; it will be mixed with my blood and ink I will also receive one and a Shar will bind us together"

"Shar?"

"A Shar is an angel with special powers; they bond guardians to their charges"

I opened my mouth to ask another question but the words never came out Eli raised his hand and stopped me

"I’ll tell you what happens I’ll be able to tell when you’re in trouble because your emotions will be linked to me and you’ll be able to feelhe said Eli stood up and pulled out a gold whistle on a gold chain from his pocket and handed it to me I examined it, it was beautiful and heavy

"What is this?" I asked

"A whistle"

I rolled my eyes at him "Obviously What is it for?"

His lips twitched and he licked the to cover up a s?"

"I guess you could say that" He laughed and it exposed his perfect, white teeth "Whilst we aren’t bonded and I’ happens, blow it The downside is that it only works when I’ers over the whistle, thinking of el "Did my mother have a whistle?"

"I’el?"

"One of the best I’ve ever seen" Eli smiled off into the distance, his eyes clouded like he was stuck in some distant memory

"Did you know him?"

I couldn’t help but pry I was a curious person; I alanted to know things even if it had nothing to do with me

"You could say that" Eli’s eyes met the floor and his face became hard as he cleared his throat "I need to take care of a few things right noill be back later"

He stood up and gaveI heard the click of the lock and I was alone I propped a few couch cushions and lay down
