As class came to an end, I stood up and made my way for the door.

I was proud of myself for staying in class. For some reason I had begun to feel healthier these past couple of days. I even took good notes to send to Camilla, but that would have to come later— right now I needed to find Idris.

I took the side exit, separating from the group of people that had left the class at the same time as me. The halls here were part outdoor and empty. It gave me time to think about what the hell I was going to say to Idris...

If he even wanted to talk to me, but I needed answers only he could give me. Answers that could help me help Camilla—

"Your heart is beating fast. Are you okay?"

I all but screamed and almost tumbled. Idris had suddenly appeared by my side. My only warning was the thump of his feet as he hit the ground and his deep voice.

"Jesus Idris! Were you on the fucking roof?"

"Are you okay?" He ignored my question steadying me.

I pulled my arm away after finding my balance and stared at him in awe. He wasn't even concealing what he was from me anymore.

For a brief moment I pondered the extent of his powers.

"I'm fine." I sighed. "Actually feeling great for once." I acknowledge how my heart was beating steadily again. It was surprising even to me.

"So then why was your heart beating fast?" He furrowed his dark brow. His green eyes slightly sparkled in the light.

Idris had grown slight stubble. I guess he still had some human qualities.

He stepped closer and I felt my heart pick up its pace again. I immediately caught a whiff of his masculine aroma. One step closer and Idris towered over me. I had to focus.

"I was worried about Camilla." I admitted. "Idris I need you to tell me something—"

He looked hesitant but nodded his head.

"Is... is Ben a vampire like you?"

Slowly Idris nodded his head.

"Yes. He's like me."

"And you set him up with my friend! Idris, Camilla thinks she's going crazy..." How could he have done that! "Is he hurting her!?"

"No! No of course not Alixandria!"

"Well then why the fuck does she look like it!"

"You haven't necessarily taken what I am light either." His jaw grew tight.

I was speechless. He had a point yes, but could he blame me? Could he blame Camilla?

I shook my head, "No, I haven't, but this is different Idris. This is my friend! I can't let her think she's going crazy! You have to tell Ben to back off."

Idris scoffed and backed away, "I can't do that Alixandria."

"Why the hell not!"

"Because she's his mate. Tearing them apart would cause them both great pain—"

"Oh that's horse shit!" I turned away, enraged. "If you won't do something, I will!"

"Dammit Alixandria will you just stop!" His hand grasped my wrist and immediately I felt the heat from his hand travel to all the sensitive areas of my body. There was a rush of a momentary high to the point that I bit my lip hard to suppress a moan and I leaned my back against the wall for support, closing my eyes.

What the hell was that?

I could feel my chest heaving as my breaths were heavy. I was literally breathless from his touch.

"Alixandria," He whispered my name. His hand was still wrapped around my wrist.

My eyes fluttered open and I was caught in his gaze. I was drawn to the silver color in the center of his eyes, his full lips. I still felt a high even more so when he came closer. His hand was now playing with my fingers while the other one gently stroked my cheek. His touch left a trail of fire. My face felt hot.

"What is this?" I practically whimpered. I had never felt so physically turned on.

Idris's chest heaved too, as if our contact also made him breathless. He was staring at our hands he intertwined.

"It's our pull Alixandria," he looked back deep into my eyes, "I told you, you're my soulmate."
