Hana has continued to elude me. She knows what and who we are, which, in a manner, explains her avoiding us like the plague. However, it’s a tad offensive that Hana was going to such extremes to do so. She ought to know we aren’t the bad guys. We aren’t like many of our species. We wouldn’t help the guild or be friends if we were like most of our species. So, she shouldn’t be avoiding us out of fear we’d hurt her. Logically, I know her avoiding us isn’t out of fear, at least not that fear. I believe that Princess Hana is afraid of how she feels. She’s scared of the feelings we individually stir in her. I shouldn’t be surprised that the daughter of the infamous Alpha Logan Kinsley would be so innocent. It’s an innocence I am eager to corrupt. I’m four hundred years old. I shouldn’t think that way about some eighteen-year-old human girl. Yet, I cannot focus on grading assignments here because she’s consumed my thoughts. I didn’t understand why. Maybe because she was so resistant? Yea

I never considered myself the jealous sort. I have never had a reason to. Certainly not when it came to my two best friends. Or that’s what I reminded myself of when I watched Aidan get to dance with Hana. Seeing his hands on her had me seething, which is totally out of the norm for us. It’s this damn bet. That has to be it. I wouldn’t feel this way otherwise. Aidan and I have worked together on hunts. Our history is littered with women we’ve shared in bed who he fed on their sexual energy while I drank their blood. It was a win-win-win. Yes, I said three wins. Because the women were winning, too, they didn’t realize I was drinking their blood or think twice about feeling exhausted after we were done with them. Plus, they got off more than once during our feeding. If Hana had been less resistant to giving in to what I know she felt, she could have had that experience. Granted, it may be a bit of a sexual overload for a virgin, but we’d make it work. However, she is as stubborn as h

We are screwed. That’s the only answer to why Hana and her friend would disappear back down that hall for so long. Pamela likely overheard us, specifically Albert, and his uncouth and vulgar suggestion of having proof that one of us had been intimate with Hana. And now she’s taken Hana somewhere quiet to tell her, and as we speak, the Bloodmoon Alpha and his warriors are planning to kill us. For once, I can’t even blame my friends for why my life is in danger. This bet was my foolish idea. “Gentlemen, I want to apologize now.” I sighed, turning to my friends. “What?” Albert and Aidan gave me confused looks. “Miss Batista likely overheard us and has gone to tell Hana everything. As such, we’re going to die soon. So, I’m sorry that I got us into this mess.” I bowed my head in apology. “We aren’t going to die.” Aidan rolled his eyes. “Yeah. I don’t care how powerful Hana’s dad is. We aren’t pushovers.” Albert shook his head. “Besides, we knew the danger of making this bet. The d

I don’t know what transpired between Hana kneeing me in the balls, an attack I’m willing to forgive but likely won’t forget, and willingly dancing with us. I don’t think she knows about the bet. If Pamela overheard us and told Hana, she would not have danced with any of us. If she knew, Hana likely would’ve either come out throwing fists or left to plot our deaths. My groin can attest she’s not shy about violence. So I wouldn’t let myself worry about her knowing our bet. I want to know what Pamela said or gave Hana to make her more welcoming to us. Whatever she did, I believe Pamela had just earned an A in my class. Not that she doesn’t deserve a good grade on her actual work. Thus far, she’s proven to be an insightful student. She apparently can work magic to get Hana compliant. And as grateful as I am for whatever she did, I’m more grateful the girl was willing to leave Hana with us to go upstairs with Malcolm. Suggesting that Malcolm took the girl to his room wasn’t the worst thi

If a slightly intoxicated Hailie had approached me under different circumstances, I’d have been inclined to give her what she wanted. And by different circumstances, I don’t simply mean approaching me while I’m with Hana. Hana standing right there was a good enough reason to refuse Hailie and other women; that’s not the only factor. I’d not have thought twice if I hadn’t had this bet with my friends. However, I plan to win this bet, and that can’t happen if I fuck and feed as I please. However, I realized someone had already fed on the girl and did a poor job of using compulsion on her. I’ll have to learn who that was and teach them a lesson. Mess-ups like this catch the attention of human arthritis, the guild, and worse, the order. I’d rather not see some fledgling vampires turn to dust because no one taught them any better. I swear it’s like vampires are hardcoded not to give guidance to those they sire. I am, thankfully, old enough that my use of compulsion is flawless. You can’
