RILEY POV Malcom bows and shakes Nathaniel's hand as he gets to his feet. I turn and notice that Ryker has already left the office. Julian and I then follow Nathaniel out, but he stops to talk to Ryker, who is leaning on the porch railing. I turn to Julian "You should go back in there and see if Malcom knows any females, human or otherwise, that will be able to give you what you need and trust me, Conner needs it..." "And what about you?" I smile. "I already have plans.." I laugh as he looks at me, really confused. I don't bother explaining as I step down off of the porch and head to the female's small house we went to earlier. I knock on the door and she answers it. She looks at me hesitantly before nodding her head and moving to the side, allowing me to enter. "Are you sure about what you were offering me before?" She nods hesitantly again and then steps up to me. I whisper as she wraps her arms ar

JULIAN POVI wake with her held tight in my arms. I feel my fangs lengthen again. I move slightly, skimming my lips along her neck. I hear her low hiss and sink them in, retracting them and drinking deeply. Just as I swipe my tongue over my bite, there is a knock on the door and a soft female voice."Maddason, are you awake, sweetheart? Your father wants to see you..."She goes to move, but I tighten my arms and whisper into her ear, "Stay, rest, I drank a lot from you..." "But my father?""I will see him. I will also get the young maid at the door to bring you some blood bags. You will need them. As I said, I drank a lot and you will feel very weak."I feel her relax again as her breathing evens once more. I untangle my arms from around her and get up. I walk to the door and open it just as the maid is about to knock again. I put my finger to my lips, step out, closing the door behind me as I say, "Can you make sure three bags of blood are brought up for Maddason in about an hour a

SKYLAR POVAs I get onto the bus, I catch my hand and cut my palm on the door. I move to my seat, sit down, and pull out a tissue from my bag. I wipe up the blood running down my arm and then hold the tissue to the small cut to stop the rest of the bleeding. The bus leaves the station as soon as everyone is on board. I open the window next to me just a little and then lean back, relaxing with a sigh. I look out the window again as we pass a couple of guys on motorbikes.I sit up and watch them as I recognise them from the photos I had just downloaded. I wonder where they are heading and if I will be able to meet up with them. Wait... No, I never meet with anybody. I only need to know where they are so I can give them this information. When I get to the town, I will make a copy and see if I can get it to them without actually meeting them.When the bus stops at a rest stop, I get off and stretch my legs, use the bathroom and then get back onto the bus. As I sit down I hear the sound of

RILEY POVI head back to the market like I told Julian I was going to do, but Romeo is getting restless. We haven't had a good feed since we had that time with that female in the last clan. Romeo doesn't like the bagged blood, even though it is normal human blood he says it tastes like it is artificial so we only ever drink it when we are on the borderline of losing control but that still won't be for a few more weeks. So that really can't be it, so I lean up against one of the buildings just inside the town centre and turn inward "Romeo? What's gotten into you?""I don't know! We are missing something... Something or someone very important to us....""But who or what?""I'm not sure, but I think it could be our mate... Our mate is here so

MEMPHIS/GRIFFIN POV ** FLASHBACK CONT… ** After a few more of these moves, he must have decided he needed to get some sort of advantage. He then must have given a couple of the other young males an order as one came over and jumped onto my back while the other grabbed the female off of the ground and held her to him with his claws extended and placed at her throat. I stopped after I had put the leader on the ground once more. I pull the male off of my back, giving him a quick hard hit to the nose and knocking him out. I drop him to the ground and turn to face the male holding the female. I smile and instead of talking to the male; I talk to the female. "Good evening ma'am, are you okay?" I bow slightly towards her, She smiles. "I am better now, but please, my name is Amelia!" She whimpers a little as the male holding her tightens his fingers and slightly digs his claws into her neck. I move my eyes from looking at her to the male behind her, "Now that is not a nice thing to do
