not
as an enemy, but someone he could pass his on his knowledge to. Lord knew the young
man needed someone to guide him and his dwindling pack. He quickly studied the battle
wounds on the young man's arms, wondering how many senseless fights he'd been in
over territory and power throughout the years.
    “Come on Melanie, get your things.” Thorne said, gathering his clothes from the
dresser drawers.
    “Wise decision,” Donovan said.
    “And Donovan, I'd appreciate it if you would stop calling me a young pup. I'm the
Alpha leader of my clan and will not be disrespected, not even by my mate's father.
I will respect you sir, as this is the way my parents have raised me. Know this,
if we are ever to do battle, I will never back down from you.” Thorne said, never
breaking his gaze.
    Donovan stood for a moment, his eyes fixated upon Thorne's, realizing he would have
retaliated in the same manner, especially being a leader of his clan. A brief smile
formed upon the vampire's lips before he turned, leaving the room.
    “I think that means he likes you Thorne. So, I guess you'll get to meet my mother.”
Melanie said sheepishly. “She's actually tougher than my father.
    “Wonderful, just what I needed to hear,” Thorne said, shaking his head.
    “Do you regret coming here?” Melanie asked, holding her head down.
    Flinging his backpack over his shoulder, Thorne walked over to Melanie, placing
his index finger under chin. “No, not for a moment my sweet one.” He said in a husky
voice. I'll face whatever challenge I must to have you remain by my side.”

    Silence hung heavily in the car as Thorne concentrated on his driving. Out of the
corner of his eye, he noticed Melanie staring at him.
    “Something wrong?” he asked, quickly glancing over at her.
    “Are you upset with me?” Melanie asked.
    “I was at first, but not now.” Thorne admitted.
    “Actually Thorne, I should be upset with you.” Melanie chuckled.
    “Why?”
    “Well, here I was trying to lead a normal life… as normal as any vampire-werewolf
hybrid could, and you stroll in, totally rocking my world.” Melanie confessed.
    “How does that make you feel Melanie? ” Thorne asked inquisitively.
    “I'm not sure. I'm torn Thorne. The feelings you invoked within me were dormant
until your arrival. Then there was Raphael. His hold on me was intense back at the
club. It felt as though he somehow crept under my skin, and I was forced to relinquish
control over to him.” Melanie confessed.
    “I marked you Melanie, but apparently your vampire side overrode that. I hate to
ask this, but what happens if Raphael bites you?” Thorne asked.
    “That is the reason why my father is taking us under his protection Thorne. Raphael
now seeks me out and won't stop until he claims me, or eventually until I…”
    Thorne didn't even wait for Melanie to complete her sentence.
    “Or eventually until you choose between us?” Thorne asked, raising his brow. Anger
rushed through him, causing him to grip the steering wheel until his knuckles turned
white. The wolf within howled with pain and anger at the threat of Raphael claiming
his mate.
    “Unfortunately Thorne, my vampire and wolf blood will pull me in both directions
until I choose a mate, and my father knows that. He has experience in cases such
as this. Oh, turn left here please.”
    “Cases?” Thorne asked as he made a left turn in a large green path, with trees on
either side. The area was secluded, causing Thorne's senses to sharpen.
    “Yes, this could not end smoothly.” Melanie murmured regretfully.
    After driving on the grassy pathway for a few miles, Thorne's temper began to rise.
His keen senses alerted him to vampires and werewolves lurking in the shadows, which
brought him to ask himself why he hadn't sensed Raphael or Donovan when he first
arrived to the club.
    “I think we must have made a wrong turn somewhere Melanie.” Thorne said, as agitation
began to set in.
    “No, we're headed in
