Alex Pov

I continue crying while hugging Derek. I wonder if he knows what that mark on his leg is, does he know he is my marked and future ruler by my side? That's even if he wants to be by my side, he has family and a pack here. He won't abandon them for me and to rule! I'm so stupid to think I would have a marked that wasn't my opposite. He doesn't fear my eyes and power like others though. Maybe I have a chance to have my marked like my father and his brothers did... at least I hope he will rule with me. wow, I'm rambling on in my head now! "Are you okay?" I hear Derek's voice muffled against my shoulder. "Yeah, just lost in my thoughts. Will the knights charge me for being the cause of Alastair's death and allow me to join the knights if they do?" I ask with my voice steady but ready to crack if I speak another word. "You didn't cause Alastair's death and of course they will accept you. You are a prince of hell... then again..." I sit up quickly and stare at him as his head falls on my lap since I sat up so quickly, a blush creeps onto my cheeks and Derek looks at me with a glare. "You can move a little slower you idiot! I don't want my head on your lap!" he takes his head out of my lap and hits the back of my head. I hear a catcall from behind the one-way mirror and giggling from behind the door. I roll my eyes and look at Derek, "I'm sorry for moving so quickly, I forget that others can't move at the same speed as me," I give him a small smile then I glare at the one-way mirror and then at the door with my eyes lighting up with my rage. I teleport them in with a ring of hellfire, "So is this is why it's so quiet?" I ask as I feel my body tremble a little. Derek is now standing and looking at the ring of fire with fascination. My head falls against the wall behind me and I feel a burning pain in my chest and back. Bloody silver! I pull back my power and I stand up so I have little contact with the ground and walls. I guess I didn't notice before since I just had to cool down in any way possible. everyone that was in the ring of fire is shaking and some were crying. "I'm sorry for losing my temper but you all shouldn't listen in to other peoples conversations. Now go..." they all run out the room scared shitless. Oops, I chuckle nervously as I look at Derek. "So... what were you saying before I had to teach some noisy knights a lesson?" I raise an eyebrow since I want to know what his weariness was about when I sat up too quickly like an idiot. He starts fiddling with the bottom of his shirt; which is one of mine since I gave him clothes. I smile a little at that thought, he's wearing my shirt. Snap out of it you bloody idiot! "Um... you see... you might... be... to recognisable... with your eyes and hair," wow... he seems very nervous saying that. "I guess you have a point," I look up in thought before looking at Derek. hybrids can have very big personalities but they also get nervous so quickly if they think they're in danger or don't know what to say. Very cute. I clear my throat trying to concentrate, "you're very right about being recognisable, can you help me with a disguise?... please," I see him roll his eyes and then look me in the eyes. "First we should get you out of this room... it is probably making you very dizzy and sick, now that you've fed," he holds out his hand to me and tilts his head to the door. I gulp and grab my cloak. I walk past Derek's outstretched hand since I don't want him to pick up on the whole marked thing, he'll find out as time goes on.

Derek opens the door and I nod as thanks, I put my cloak on and smile a bit. Derek walks in front of me towards a big office with a plaque on the door. It read "head of Italy branch, Frank George" I gulp loudly and Derek gives me a reassuring smile, he knocks on the door and I hear a raspy voice speak, "Come in Derek and Alex," Derek opens the door to reveal a vampire that I presume is in his late three-hundreds but he looks twenty-seven. He bows deeply to me and grabs my hand without me asking. I stare in disgust at him touching my hand, he puts his mouth to my hand and licks my hand showing his long canines when he looks at me. I hear a small growl from Derek and I see his green eyes flash blue with rage. I pull my hand away from him with eyes glowing, "I would refrain from doing that if I were you," I say as I look at him in utter disgust. "any way you have been accepted into the knights in no particular country, you're given cases with a small group of elites called the blood knights, you'll like them... oh and Derek?" I glare at the man with my hair having bits of fire going through it. If he touches Derek I will burn him alive and he will never live again. Derek turns towards him, tilts his head, "Mmh? what do you want?" he says innocently. The man takes a long parcel and hands it to him, "you will be joining the blood knights with him, this will help in a way. It is made to sustain your ice and snow powers and is lighter than the ones you've trained with in the past. Take care of it," he hands the long parcel to Derek, then turns to me. "if you were me then you would have done the same thing. you're just so delicious looking," he licks his lips and I shiver in disgust. I grab Derek's hand while he nearly drops the parcel. "hey! why did you have to drag me out of his office so quickly! I might throw up on you now!" he growls through his teeth before covering his mouth with his left hand, he runs over to a bin next to a desk and throws up. the man that was sitting at the desk gives him a look of disgust then looks at me with a "what the hell expression" I chuckle at the man and I see Derek taking his head out of the bin and glaring at me with blue eyes. "come on, I don't want to stay in the same building as that man," I point over at the office we ran out of. the man from before comes out of his office and stands in the doorway, "I forgot to mention the blood knights have their base in Scotland, you will have to get on the next international flight, for protectors of course. make sure to cover up your marvellous hair prince," he walks back in his office and closes the door, I put my hood up and I look at Derek. "I guess we have to go since the next flight is in ten minutes," he looks at the parcel for a second and rips it open, in the parcel is a long sword with a red hilt and the guard has two snowflakes on either end. "Cool sword," I say as his eyes have a sparkle in them. so cute, I want to see that sparkle more often.
