I squirmed on my seat feeling uneasy. It was better when Shea or Cane stared at me. I never felt as much uncomfortable as I am feeling now. Five pairs of eyes were staring at me as if I was unique creation of God.

Somehow I stumbled on my old friends when I reached Alaska. The weather didn't bother me a bit. I knew Grayson was living in Alaska with his huge family. His parents were older than before. His aunt and uncle also changed. Their three children, they were all grown up.

I looked at certain blonde boy who I had crush on back then. He had recognized my easily when I was in the café. His family owned that café and they quickly took me under their wing.

And then I was sitting in the living room of their beautiful house. They asked me how I got to Alaska and I, of course, lied.

Last time I lied I was thrown out of the vampire kingdom. Lies never do any good to me. But I knew telling them truth would only make them laugh at my face.

"Do you like Alaska?" Jane Roberts, Grayson's mother asked.

"Uh... Yeah" That was all I could say.

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing in Alaska. It's like this place was calling me.

Alaska has been in my mind for years. I wanted to visited this place, always.

"How are your parents? Dave?" Drew Roberts, Grayson's father, asked raising his eyebrows.

Dad and mom were alive when Roberts were there. Dave's biological mother that is.

I sighed sadly. "Our parents died in a car crash many years ago." I replied. My memory went back to the happy family we were once. "And Dave is running a small business with his wife." A smile formed on my lips.

"His wife? Dave is married?" Her eyes were gleaming with joy.

"Yeah," I nodded.

And I hope Dave is happy. Leaving Daniel like that was not a good decision from my side but I had to leave. That was the part of bargain with his father. Now I wish I had some sort of closure with him.

"Where's Henry?" I asked changing the subject. I can't disclose many details of my life. Better talk about theirs.

"You mean Harry." A voice said from doorway.

There stood a boy with blue eyes. Something was familiar about him other than the fact that he was Harry, Grayson's cousin. His hairs were dark brown standing in all direction. There was a crooked grin on his pink lips.

I was shocked. The same boy who used to try to flirt with girls and get slapped grew up to be a handsome boy. He was not as handsome as Blood Devil but his face was really eye catching.

"Hello Serenity." He greeted walking inside and flopped down the couch. An air of arrogance surrounded him.

"It's Sera." I corrected him.

"Yeah, Serenity-Sera same thing." He rolled his eyes.

I gave him a scathing look but refrained from saying anything. I didn't want to make a bad impression of myself on his family. I needed them.

He only smirked at me challenging me to say something.

I clenched my jaw.

"Harry returned just yesterday." Ariana Roberts started with a smile. "He went to Boston for Middle school studies then Seatle for High school studies. He was in California for college but decided to continue his college studies here in Alaska." She explained.

My eyes went wide. This boy travelled a lot. Couldn't he spend more time in California though?

There was something about him. Something different. Something intriguing. Something dark and brooding. I didn't know it was a good thing or a bad thing. These people were not from pack so I couldn't hear their thoughts.

I have to survive on my instincts here.

"Are you also going to attend the college?" Jane asked.

I gave her a wide eyed look.

"Yeah, I received a letter from one of your friends. He asked me to give this letter to you. Your paperwork for college is sorted out. We will arrange books for you." Drew gave me a letter.

I took it from him. "You knew I was going to come here?" I was confused.

Who is this friend of mine he is talking about?

I opened the envelop and there was a blue paper inside.

"Yeah, Ben Daniels, your friend told us via phone. He mailed us these documents."

My eyes widened at the few words written on it.

Take care of yourself. And don't leave that place. Don't do anything which I won't like. Remember, I'm watching you.

-B.D.

I didn't know who was Ben Daniels but I knew who was B.D. mentioned.

Blood Devil

I bit my lower lip in panic.

"Sera, are you okay?" Grayson asked placing a hand in my shoulder. "You look pale."

"Yeah, I'm okay." I kept my voice calm and looked down at the sheet of paper. "It's only jet lag."

"Oh sweetie, you are tired. Let me show you your room." Ariana told me.

I nodded and followed her as she told me about the house. But I was hardly listening her.

Blood Devil knew where I was. He even enrolled me in a college. Was he going to kill me after educating me? But why would he put me in this family. If he wanted to kill me, he would do it very easily.

Does he like to play cat and mouse with his victims?

I shivered at the thought.

Ariana helped me on the bed and told me my whole stuff was already placed in the room. The stuff Boris Daniels sent for me.

My breath hitched in my throat.

I feared Blood Devil. I really fear him. He made me a vampire. He is the owner of my new life. And he can take it away from me.

"You think too much. I'm not going to kill you anytime soon. Relax and sleep. This place is your home now and you are not leaving it." A smooth voice said in my head.

My eyes dropped and I felt myself drifting into darkness.

My life can never we normal. I jump from one problem and land into another.

I have to brace this new life in Alaska.
