"You’d do no such thing"

"Wouldn’t I?"

I quickly got dressed, not caring what I threw on The only thing I orried about was Dorian being alone with Aiden I slipped out of the bedroom and headed down the hallway Aiden, Lauren and Dorian were standing in the living room and their eyes foundon each of their faces Lauren had her arms crossed, her hip cocked with a bored look on her face Aiden’s hair was brushed back, his eyes wild as he stared atas confident as ever, a suys here?"

"I need to speak to you," Aiden said through clenched teeth "Alone" He glared at Dorian Uh-oh, what had Isnarky and Aiden was fighting to remain under control

"Okay," I said in bewilder for my arm

"Dorian, it’s okay"

After a short internal debate, he let go of my arm, and Aiden and I headed down the hallway to an empty bedroom I couldn’t take Aiden in the room Dorian and I had just been in for many reasons I made sure to close the door so Dorian wouldn’t be able to eavesdrop on our conversation

"How’d you find uys just up and disappeared I needed to know you were okay The bond directedout before they dropped and he walked away "You have to know I didn’t have anything to do hat happened at my club"

"What exactly did happen?"

Aiden had h to believe hiroup of people he hated, it was the VC Murdering a person’s family didn’t earn them brownie points

"I honestly don’t know," Aiden said with confusion "But I do know they’re up to so when only ertips, he caressed the side of ot here"

"I’ for a while Whatever the VC is planning, I’m part of it I won’t allow thee"

I know I had just been getting frisky with Dorian, but hearing that Aiden was leaving hurt a little For all the obstacles that had been thrown in our path, I still cared about hi to help? We just need to find a way to break the bond"

Aiden’s picked up a strand offorward and taking a deep breath I didn’t coe that was

"Blood bonds are tricky, Gwen Re to find a way to break the one between you and Ian?"

I nodded

"The only answer I found was that the offending vampire has to bestow the bond on someone else And there is no one else in this world I want to be linked to Of course there’s always death…"

My eyes widened "I’ood to hear" Aiden smiled "Gwen…"

"What is it?"

Aiden took a deep breath, stepping away frouard," he paused "It’s not a myth"

"What isn’t a myth?" I knew the answer but needed to hear him say it

"Hybrids They’re rare, but not impossible to create Lauren’s father is an incubus and her mother was human She was able to accept the vaht out of her hand"

I didn’t hear anything after Aiden ad "But…you and her…for years," Ime?"

"Yes I’ve known her for years, but I didn’t know," Aiden admitted "She asked me about us, and once she heard our story she confessed to what she was This is why I’ I’m afraid Aaron commanded me to bite you so ould bond and in return he’d own a piece of you too"
