Chapter six- HERA'S POV

Sparks fly

I was walking up and down the floor of the hotel room. Lucian sat down staring at me like someone watching a mad woman. I guess, you can call me that, because I know that my life has changed drastically in these last twelve hours since we got to the city.

"Herr, why do you mistrust this guy so much?" Lucian asked in a worried tone.

I don't know how to answer his question, because I do not know the answer myself.

All I know is that from the moment I healed that guy, Tys, I do not feel like the old me. I can't describe to my brother how it seemed like I was being burned by fire when I gave him my healing kiss, it felt that all my power was drained from me and infused into him and that I became him and he became me.

I can't describe the feeling I felt when I met him awake for the first time. He was the most handsome man I've ever laid my eyes on. He was very tall, even taller than Lucian, who is very tall, and just slightly muscular. He had shoulder length curly black hair. His face....his face was a wonder, It was an aristocratic face with full and straight eyebrows a girl would die for, he had eyes that sparkled with gold, with very long eyelashes, he had high cheekbones and straight jaws, an acquiline nose and full lips.

When he shook my hands, I felt shock pass through me and goosebumps appear on my skin. He had had a very great effect on me and I do not like it. I don't even know this man and my feelings are already uncontrollable around him, what the fuck! I didn't come to this city for this. He looked like a man who could influence a girl to drop her life and follow him. I am not tht girl though and I do not intend to fall in love with him and halt my life in the process.

"Hera, if you think this guy is dangerous and cannot be trusted, you need to tell me" Lucian was saying.

"it's not that Lu, I just do not like the effect he has on me, he is too..."

"handsome?" Lucian finished for me, grinning

"what the fuck are you saying? that wasn't what I was going to say" I said hotly.

My brother laughed "Hera, I think the both of you have the hots for each other" he said, still laughing like a maniac.

"We do not! whatever gave you that idea? what a stupid thing to say" I replied him, wanting to snack the stupid grin on his face away.

"oh please, you think I did not see the way you both stared at each other for so long, and when you shook hands, you literally ran to the ends of the room like you were struck with lightning." he said, annoying me further.

"I don't know what drugs you are on, but I think you are seeing things" I said, wanting to punch him in his face.

"okay, if you say so." he replied, raising his hands in surrender. "but what do you think about him?" he asked.

"I don't know, he seems like he is running away from something, and judging by what the leader of those gangsters said, he is probably running from his father, the alpha of a powerful pack. But, what baffles me is that, he isn't a werewolf." This confused me a lot. How can one be a sin of an alpha werewolf and not be a werewolf himself. I wish I could ask him that. But the guy obviously does not like speaking on the subject. What an arrogant Buffon, I thought angrily.

"yes, I noticed that too, and that guy said that he won't let him parade about, pretending to be what he is not. I wonder what that means" Lucian replied.

"I have a feeling we are entangling ourselves in something that could prove bigger than us, Lu" I told him.

"maybe, but don't tell me you are not curious about this guy and don't want to see this to the end? and besides, we can't let that woman's death slide, I have to kill that bastard, and to kill him, we need Tys..."said he, trying to persuade me

"and where has your sense of adventure gone? or are you too chicken because you are afraid of the effect he has on you?" Lucian said in angry tones. I growled at him, I know he is trying to goad me into agreeing with him.

"he doesn't have any effect on me" I told him

"he does not? that's funny, because I seriously think you do. When you gave him the healing kiss, something weird happened."

"what happened?" I asked him, fearing that he knew what happened.

"you shouted like you were being burnt alive, and I felt your life force leave you, I was very afraid, so I tried separating the both of you, I wasn't able to do it, you were stuck. Then I saw a bright light radiate from inside you and it went into him, then you woke up"

"I didn't know you saw it too. What the fuck do you think it means though? I asked him fearfully.

"frankly, I don't know...but I think it's a sign that perhaps your fates are tied together" he said

I was speechless, I didn't want my fate to be tied together to a guy, so soon in the beginning of my adventure, it's all the fault of this Tys guys, he just had to come and spoil everything, didn't he?

An hour later, we left the hotel, before we left, we cleaned up the room by erasing Tys' scents and fingerprints. We didn't need to clean ours because vampires do not have fingerprints or smells recognised by humans. We had already cleaned up the reception area earlier before Tys woke up and buried the woman.

We went in search of Tys' working place. We got to a building which had Tyler and sons on it. The garage was full of cars and men working on cars. we didn't want to be visible to any of the men, so we stayed in the shadows and watched Tys work.

He was very concentrated on the car he was working on, he seemed to really like what he was doing.

"hey Tys, pass me that spanner, will you?" a big man working next to him called. He looked like the boss. Tys threw the tool to him and he caught it deftly.

As I watched Tys work, his body glistening with sweat, his shoulders ripping, I felt so wet in my pants and I cursed myself for being so powerless to control my feelings

"he is quite an eye candy, isn't he" Lu asked me, teasingly.

"oh, I wouldn't know about that, why don't you just go and ask him?" I retorted

He chuckled, clearly greatly amused by my reply.

What a dick!

We waited until about nine in the evening, then we made our presence known to him.

"Are you done? we should be on our way" I said to him, coming up behind him.

He jerked up from his work, and mistakenly hit a hammer on his finger. He swore hard. well, good for him. That serves him right for making me so fucking wet

"Dammit!, don't you ever sneak up on me like that again" he said glaring murderously at me.

"well, it isn't my fault that you are very twitchy" I said, not tolerating his tone

"twitchy? You could have given me a warning to make me aware of your presence" he replied angrily, staring daggers at me. I guess I ought to apologise, but that doesn't sit well with me, it serves him right for temporarily disrupting my life.

"guys, sheath your daggers. there's nothing to gain from fighting each other" Lucian said, standing between us.

"Are you done, Tys?" he turned to Tys.

"No, but I will finish it tomorrow, we can go now" Tys replied, wiping his greasy hands on a piece of clothe and closing the bonnet of the car he was working on.

He packed his tools in a bag and went to meet his boss, they talked for a while and then he joined us again "let's go"

We walked out of the garage into the cool night.

"what is the plan?" Tys asked Lucian, ignoring me completely. I didn't mind that, he could go to hell for all I care.

"Do you already have somewhere to stay?" my brother asked him

"nope, I will probably rent another hotel room" Tys replied.

"okay, let's go find a hotel then" my brother said.

Tys turned to look at me with that piercing stare of his.

"Is your sister fine with that plan?" he asked Lucian, still staring at me challengingly, he probably wants me to refuse to stay in the same hotel as him, so he can go on his jolly way and in the process, deny me the chance to kill the werewolf bastard.

"His sister is very fine with it, and I suggest you direct your question concerning her at her, she's literally three meters away from you" I retorted sarcastically.

Lucian laughed at this like I just cracked a joke.

"Tys, you should take her advice, Hera hates being ignored" he said annoyingly.

"I will try to remember that in future, Hera" he said in a faux gentleman tone. I swallowed a retort, I will not make him know how much his words affect me, after all, he's nothing to me.

"I would like to pay for the cost of the hotel bills" He said suddenly.

"why? do we look like beggars to you?" I asked him, angry that he would think such a thing

"of course not! I just wanted to use it as a way to thank you for saving my life. I am very grateful to you guys for saving my life" he said in a soft voice. His eyes deliberately drawing mine in to see that he was saying the truth.

"Tys, you don't need to do that to show your gratitude to us" Lucian said to him, I nodded, agreeing with my brother.

"All the same, I insist" he said determinedly.

"okay" we agreed.

After searching for a while, we finally chose a hotel not very far from Tys' garage. It was an upgrade from the hotel from hell that we had been for the larger part of the day.

We went in. The receptionist greeted us as soon as we walked in. She stared openly at Tys, and didn't even bother to hide her admiration. She even licked her lips and batted her eyes at him. What a slut! I thought.

"we would like to book three rooms please" I told her coldly.

"how long would you like to stay?" she asked, still staring shamelessly at Tys. I wanted to slap her hard.

Instead, I turned to the guys, wanting to know what they thought about the duration of stay.

Lucian shrugged, Tys avoided my eyes, I rolled my eyes "probably three days" I said to the slutty receptionist.

She nodded and smiled at Tys "how would you be paying?" she asked.

Tys came forward and handed her his card. I noticed she briefly touched his hands when she collected it. I felt anger course through me for this. I didn't understand why I was reacting to this stupid flirtations this way. I hope it wasn't jealousy I felt. what the fuck is this?

"Have a nice stay" the receptionist said, smiling at Tys.

I hoped it will not take more than three days for that bastard werewolf to come back for Tys, so we can be done with this shit....and so I will be far away from Tys.
