Christopher's POV I tried not to lose my mind or get paranoid. I waited for him to leave the house before walking out of the room. He'd done something to me. I knew that. I'd fallen asleep and I knew it had something to do with him telling me to sleep. It was a spell of some sort. I didn't know how to feel about it. On the one hand, I needed sleep, and this was a much-needed rest, but on the other hand, he'd violated my bodily autonomy. He'd made me fall asleep without my consent and that wasn't something I was happy with. I needed it though. To remind me of the kind of person he was. or the kind of monster he was. Well, there was nothing I could do. I wasn't dead yet, so all I could do was keep my guard up and hope. The house was empty but it looked so well taken care of. I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge and pantry. It was well stocked. I picked up an apple and bit into it. I heard the front door open and footsteps. He walked into the kitchen and smiled

Dante's POV I sat in the back seat of the car waiting for him to come out of his faculty. I would have gone to bring him myself, but his annoyed text this morning told me to stay in my car and wait if I wanted him to come with me. I smiled, remembering his response this morning after I texted to tell him not to worry about packing his clothes, as I had Kerion pack his clothes at my house for the trip. He had responded with a middle finger and hadn't said anything else only sending me his class schedule for the day after I asked him when would be right to pick him up. When I texted him that I was in his school and was coming to pick him up. He'd responded with a hasty text telling me to stay in my car and he'd come meet me. Of course, I was curious and wanted to see why he was trying to hide me, but I more than ever wanted him to be happy and comfortable enough to be mine forever, so I let him win this one. Plus, if he spent too much time around someone or if he smelt

Christophers POV "Hey guys, it's time to let him be" his voice cut through the crowd of staff I was talking to. They scurried away and he walked to me. "Hey, Sunshine." he smiled that devilish, annoying smile, and it infuriated me. "Don't call me that," I chided him, walking away, and he just chuckled, causing my brain to grate more. How dare he? He knew that I didn't want to be known as his fuck body or some person that has slept their way to be with him, but he kept doing it. The members of staff who heard him would probably think I had gotten my position bent over. I'd worked hard for this position. I was risking my life for this position and I'd never let him make all my hard work and dedication be tied to his dick. I don't care if he's Count Dracula himself. I got back to the car and took my position in the back seat before Dante and Alvin. They came in and I kept silent till we got to the office and I got back to work. ......... A few days later

Dante's POV The meeting was over, and everyone was flocking to Christopher. I stood in the background watching them as they fawned over him. They kept asking him questions about himself. He was the first human most of them had real proximity to apart from feeding and occasionally work meets. Vampires, though social creatures, like to keep to themselves for many reasons, with privacy as one of them, so most of us rarely interact with humans socially, especially younger vampires. Lucien had stormed off immediately after the meeting. He still wasn't a fan of the human but I couldn't force him to become one. For someone who's lived in seclusion apart from humans, I could understand why. I smiled as Christopher tried his best to hide his very obvious nervousness around them. He was really brave. For someone who had just learned his boss was a blood-sucking monster and his coworkers were monsters, too, he was doing his best to be calm about it. His thoughts, though,

Chris's POV I stormed upstairs to go shower as embarrassment filled me. I shut the door to my room. I thought Alvin wasn't a vampire. Did I miss that? How did he notice that I smelt of garlic too? Was the smell making them uncomfortable? I stripped and walked into the shower to wash the smell off. Maybe I was wrong in my assessment and maybe Alvin was a vampire too. I had to wash so they didn't suspect that I knew, but at least it had helped me figure out that Alvin and Dante were both vampires. But then Tim didn't say anything about the smell and I could have sworn he was a vampire. If the smell had made Dante and Alvin uncomfortable then why hadn't it done the same to Tim? I dried my body and walked to the room the get changed. I picked up my old discarded clothes and sniffed it. It smelt strongly on rank garlic. I didn't know it smelt this bad. I layered it on so my nose got used to the smell and now after showering and being away from these clothes, I could sme

Dante's POV It was Monday already, and Tim was on his way to pick him up. He hadn't gone anywhere and spent most of his weekend in his house with his druggie girlfriend. Did he tell her about what he saw? I wanted to know. I'd just have to wait and see how everything goes. I don't think he did, though; he didn't seem like he would. I wanted to pick him up myself but decided against it so he could gather himself. I mean, we were supposed to still be angry with each other, and I wanted him to think about how he wanted to act and get his act together. Tim pulled into my driveway, and he got down from the car, leaving Tin to go park the car. I watched him from my office window as he took in a deep breath before walking to the door. I heard him knock, and Kerion opened the door for him. Then his footsteps began to walk down the hallway to his office. I waited till he was settled in before making my move. I popped my head into his office. The office reaked of garlic.
