attempt to get to know his mate.
“She has a nasty bump on her head,” Dr. Holinsky started, “but she’ll be okay. Being a vampire saved her life. Had she been human, she would have had a nasty concussion. Her body has already started its own natural healing process.”
“So she’ll be okay,” he breathed. His eyes drifted back to Angel, who was staring at him with a soft smile.
“Yes, I’ll be fine,” she said quietly.
“She might have a headache here and there, until she fully heals. Get her fresh blood, and she’ll be like new by tomorrow night.”
“Thank you, Dr. Holinsky,” Adrian said, shaking the physician’s hand again.
“Remember, my dear, rest for the next day or so,” the doctor said to Angel before leaving the room.
“Well, this wasn’t how I wanted to meet your family,” Angel groaned. He sat down on the bed next to her, as Nadira stood and moved to the foot of the bed.
“Nothing like making a grand entrance,” Nadira joked with a chuckle.
“It was very nice to meet you, Princess,” Angel said, returning the laugh.
“None of that!” Nadira gently scolded. “You are mated to my brother. It’s just Nadira.”
“You don’t have to use formality,” he said. Taking her hand, he lifted it up and placed a kiss on her knuckles. “Technically, you are a princess now, too.”
He laughed as Angel’s eyes grew wide. “But I’m a nobody,” she insisted. “I still don’t see how we can be mated. I thought you had to mate with a vampire of a higher social status.”
“I told you, that doesn’t matter to me,” he said fiercely. “You are my mate, and you are who fate decided I am to spend all eternity with.”
She looked around the room as Teague and Anika joined them. He introduced her to Teague, just as Nicu walked back into the room.
“I just spoke to Khalid and Cooper,” he said. “Meet me in my office once you get her settled in your suite.”

“ I ’ll be okay ,” Angel said for hundredth time.
Adrian had carried her to his private suite in the mansion, and helped her get washed up as best as he could before tucking her into the bed. He had insisted that she sleep naked, but she was not up for any hanky-panky, so she finally convinced him to at least give her one of his shirts to sleep in.
“I’m so sorry,” he said sincerely, placing a kiss on her forehead. He settled onto the bed next to her.
“For what?” she asked, confused. She turned over in the bed so that she could see him clearly. He had done nothing that would warrant an apology. He was the last person that needed to apologize.
He saved her.
“For not protecting you.” His eyes were filled with sorrow.
“It’s not your fault that those rogues attacked us.”
“Angel,” he sighed, as her belly filled with dread. She knew what he was about to ask her. “I have to know…why are the rogues after you?”
“I’m not sure.” She tried to look away, but he pulled her face back up to meet his eyes.
“I’m not judging you in any way. You are my mate. In order for me to keep you safe, I need to know what they want with you.”
She stared deep into his eyes, and knew instantly that she was head over heels in love with him. There was no denying it. She knew that their initial meeting was a little unconventional, but deep down she knew that he took the mating seriously, and he would be forever faithful to her.
Everyone in the vampire world had heard about the council demanding that the Olaru heirs mate with prominent vampires. There had been much talk of whether or not it was fair for the council to demand that the heirs to the throne be only allowed to mate with vampires.
Humans were still unaware of the existence of vampires, so this wasn’t something that would be broadcasted on the nightly news. Vampires were savvy with technology. One would be surprised at what could be hidden online, if only one knew where to look.
