"I'll allow you the excitement of thinking you're safe from me." His hands grip my waist, holding me absolutely still. "And I'll allow you the thrill of being chased and hunted down." I feel a sharp prick in my flesh, the excruciating pain halting a...
"Yeah you're right. I'm just use to all of us being together."
"What about you, Milly? What is your calling in life?"
"It's stupid honestly. Thought about seeing the world a little." I laugh off the idea instantly. "But I'm fine staying in Sanguis Silvarum."
"You totally should! Start small with like a roadtrip."
"No, it's okay. Really."
"Speaking of trips, isn't Mr. B taking the Missus out of the country in celebration of their retirement?"
"Totally forgot about that, but yeah. I think he found a resort out on some tourist island to splurge on Mom for a month or two."
"Good for them. They both deserve it after dedicating so many years to the wolves of this pack."

"But the reception might not be all that good."
"Mom everything will be okay." I lift up one of her bags placing it with the others in the trunk.
"See, My Moon. The kids can handle themselves."
"Alright. I love you both. Call if anything, and mean ANYTHING, happens."
"Lets just hope Ms. Vehicle Explosions over here doesn't get her hands on some gasoline and a lighter." Draco points out the incident from years ago with a deadpan expression.
"I've grown from that."
"Physically? Yes. Not sure mentally though."
"That's not very alpha of you to say." I mimic his monotone.
