Thank you so much.

It's been two hours since Julian dropped me off in his parents house. His father was not home.

I was sitting with Nancy in her Yoga room, she asked me if I do or did yoga, I said no, but when she knew that I know how to dance ballet and I want to be a ballet teacher when I grow up for little girls, she got too excited.

I thought she'd be sad that I won't be a doctor or a scientist, I always had this perspective that most parents want from their kids to be successful and earn a lot of money. Well, that's what I saw in my school, at least.

I used to see parents reprehend their kids for getting a bad grade or misbehaving. One of them the parents once yelled at his son and I quote ' This awful grade ruined your chance on becoming a doctor like us ' the dad said that with a harsh tone, in front of the whole class. It made me flench because that day I remembered Raymond an his abuse. I felt bad for him, he wanted to become a famous actor. He was great at acting.

What I'm trying to say is that Nancy surprised me in a good way. Julian is lucky to have her as a mom.

I miss mom, I miss dad. I surely don't miss Raymond and never will.

" So Stella, what do you want to ask me? I know I can't replace your mother's position but at least consider me as a close friend or even a sister, a young sister. You can tell me anything you want. " Nancy said in her motherly tone then she grabbed both of my hands and squeezed them gently. I felt her warmth.

Well...I could see her as a mother figure, because I'm her son's mate. Mates get married at some point in life and that's distended to happen. That's what Skye told me the other night. So Nancy would be my mother in law, someday.

I nodded." Um, I know that you'll listen but please don't laugh. " I requested with pleading eyes.

Her eyes widened and she shook her head " I would never do such a thing, come on sweetheart, you can tell me what's on your mind. " she smiled a genuine smile that made me relax and feel less worried or careworn.

I sat on the brown long mat." Well, Julian explained the mark thing earlier today, he said that he have to do it so I won't be in heat, he also said that heat is so hard and painful. He told me to tell him whenever I'm ready. " I said then took deep breathes. "I got scared, I mean... Does the bite hurts?" I asked her, while looking down.

" Honey, I won't lie to you. The bite will hurt you but for a bit amount of time, it will hurt you for less than 5 seconds then you'll feel happy and one with Julian. You'll get closer to each other, your bond will get stronger. He'll be more attached to you than now, and he'll be a pain in the butt sometimes, believe me... I know." She explained with a humorous tone at the end that made me giggle.

" So, there's nothing to regret? " I asked.

She shook her head. " No, dear. You'll only earn his full and annoying attention. Like his father did to me, he's still doing it." she replied and I laughed.

" Thank you Nancy, talking with you does help. I feel relaxed and ready now. " I assured.

She showed me her full and gorgeous smile. " That's wonderful, let's take you to him now. " She stood up and helped me stand. We exited the room and headed to to the living room to get her car keys.

" He's home now right? " She asked me as we sat in the car.

" Yes, that's what he said. " I replied.

" Well, Nancy. Thank you so much, I really needed the talking. Bye, see you later. " I bid her goodbye and headed to the main door.

Julian entered my fingerprint as a lock for the door. He said that his house is my house and I have to act normal, and feel free to use whatever I want. I said okay, but I still can't act like I own the house, because I don't.

As I was opening the door, I called for Julian but got no respond. " Julian are you there? " I asked again but in a higher tone.

While I was closing the door, it got stopped half way by an unknown man, I screamed from the surprise.

" Your Julian is not here. " the man and pinned me to the wall before I get the chance to even glance at his face.

I felt scared and panicked.

I blinked rapidly." W-who are you? " I tried to ask since his grip was tightening around my neck.

He smirked with a huff. I examined his face up close to make sure that he was not Raymond.

He was not.

He was taller, with thicker brown hair and a short beard. His eyes were pitch black and they had evilness and cruelness in them.

" I'm Joey. " He introduced himself and I felt like the time stopped for a second.

Joey?

Julian's cousin and enemy?
