the
bench. I will lock the door behind me.”
She didn’t move.
    “ I’m okay. Not a scratch
and barely a bruise. Dimitri took most of the battle wounds for
me.”
    “ Those two will either fall
in battle or by each other’s hands. Dimitri will more than likely
be the victor but you will be the victim. Losing someone you care
for no matter which way it ends. I’m lucky there is only
Ian.”
    “ Now,” I replied, unable to
respond.
    “ Yes, lucky that now I have
Ian.”
She’d been in one other relationship before
Ian, and I had killed him with my bare hands. He had dared to hurt
her. I had witnessed it finally, after countless times of not. He
died instantly. I regretted it of course, but he deserved no
less.
Ian had been her friend at the time, had
been head over heels for her, and when I called him to have him
come to her and comfort her… well he flew. I knew she cared for him
as well. Knowing she was in good hands, I went back to work as a
hunter and training with Dimitri.
For the longest, we had denied our desires,
Dimitri and I. I’d denied them simply because, he would’ve been
sent to another facility, and because of my age. Now that I was
twenty-one though, it was a whole different story.
I was old enough to be legal, even if he was
almost five years older than me. I was not going to lose him.
Lane sighed and then left, locking the door
behind her as she did so, bringing reality back like a cold draft
of fresh air..
I dried and dressed quickly, eager for my
man. I knew that being in his arms would help me more than anything
right now.
In my room, I quickly bagged everything I’d
need for later, and set the bag in the only chair in the room. My
bed, a queen sized, stood in the middle of the room with the chair
on one side, a nightstand and a dresser on the other. We shared
bathrooms but I did have a sink and toilet in my little room. The
one, tiny closet held all my belongings.
I checked my cell and found a text from one
of my aunts, Willow. Her and her two sisters, Aspen and Holly, were
doing well. Phoenix had been under attack, but no deaths, and only
two casualties. They wished me love and were sending good luck
charms my way.
These charms were powerful and coveted by
all who knew of them. Saved my life, or so I believed, twice now. I
was wearing the same one I had the night of my parent’s murder.
They had not been wearing one.
I texted them back. I didn’t mention
tomorrow’s hunt so they would not be worried, or today’s attack.
All three were either a widow or divorced.
Packed and ready, I brushed my hair and
teeth, trying to avoid looking at the haunted face before me. In
the flickering light, the girl looked nearly dead, almost as if she
were a ghost seeking something she would never find.
I listened for the sounds of life outside my
doors, hearing nothing I took a deep breath, letting the morbid
thoughts fade away.
I crept stealthily out into the hall,
locking my door behind me, and into Dimitri’s room. I locked his
door quickly, while I gave him a very naughty look.
I knew he’d be waiting for me.
My Dimitri was lying half naked on the bed,
with eyes open, staring at me. I was wearing my usual black leather
pants, and black tee shirt and boots, nothing too scandalous or
sexy. At least nothing sexy that he could see anyways. Underneath
my outer clothes, it was black, lace, and wicked.
    “ Hi,” he whispered, clearly
excited by my arrival.
We always left the bad stuff outside and
went on with life in here, when we were alone together. No point in
brooding over death when it occurred every day around here. We
relished these moments and would not ruin them.
I turned out the light, not that it mattered
to either of us.
As I untied and kicked off my combat boots,
I felt him stirring behind me. When I turned to face him, he had
his boots off. I left my own clothing on, for now. We had not slept
together, and for some time probably would not.
We only wanted the closeness and comfort of
being
