"Yes, I gave it all up; however, I gain something way better" -- Karla Beato. 

Loreine's POV.

December 9th, 2013. Clifford Gunsolus' State -- 2:00 pm.

Jacob and I appear outside a close door. I stare up at him surprise "He was going to start ranting about his tittle again. He is way to full of himself" Jacob speaks not particularly to me, but he just lets me know once again. His disagreement with the 12th Vampire Inner Council Leader. I really didn't mind as long as he control's himself. Jacob has a strong grip on my waist "Jacob" I softly whisper without really looking up at him. Jacob's left hand moves my chin up. He made me look at him. I always forget how handsome he truly is. It takes my breath away "Yes, Loreine?" Jacob smiles to me. His voice was sweet and gentle. I was actually surprise by the fact he isn't screaming insults at people. I am usually used to him going on picking a fight with everyone. It complements our relationship perfectly. Jacob holds my chin moving it closer to his lips. I was waiting patiently for him to crash his lips on mine. He moves his right hand on my back.

My heart was beating 200 miles per hour. I stare at his hazel eyes while he softly stare at my electric blue ones. I bite my bottom lips which made Jacob grins widely. He brush his lips against mine "I am about to break my own promise" Jacob softly blurts out staring at my lips. I could smell his scent of Jasmine and blood. I could hear his heart beating for me. I could see in his eyes how much it takes him not to do anything. I can see he is trying to be much more than a gentlemen. Our lips were inches away from each others. Jacob closes his eyes smelling my scent "Raspberry. I can hardly believe you are back" I smile at him placing my hands on his chest. I really wanted him to push me into a wall then crash his lips to mine. Jacob seems to know because he cracks a laugh. I roll my eyes loving the soul mate link. It can be a true gift, but it can also turn into a curse. He can feel everything I feel. He knows what I am thinking. He pays attention to every detail.

We have never say the 3 words to each other. Well, not directly to each other. We have said them to other people about each others. We don't need to say it because our actions clearly speak. We don't need it at all. Jacob lowers down to my lips again; however, somebody cough a few steps next to us. We were in the middle of a hallway. I take my eyes away from Jacob staring at whoever interrupt us "Oh, look! 12th Vampire Order Guards. What is it? Did you lose the mutt you were chasing?" The 12th Vampire Order Guards stare at Loreine not even laughing. Jacob has a growing smirk on his lips "Wonderful to have you back, Lady Loreine" He tries to spit it out as nice as he could; however, it was obvious the 12th Vampire Order Guards didn't like me. It wasn't my fault. Jason was the one whom stab me. They are lucky, I didn't told my father about it. I am about to do it actually. I sigh heavily at the idea of truly speaking about what happen to my father.

I didn't want to tell him anything.. he'll surely blame Jacob. It wasn't in Jacob's hands. I was the one that distract Jacob, so he lower his guard around me. He does that to be able to pay attention to me. I really appreciate Jacob for still be able to stand next to me. Even if everyone wants to break us apart.

He is still next to me through thick and thin. He will never leave. I can be sure of that now.

Jacob looks down at me. I send him trouble emotions without meaning too. He hugs me to him bringing me out of my racing thoughts. I take in his affection without thinking twice. I am enjoying all of his affection "The Inner Council Leader, requires your presence, Jacob" I felt how Jacob tense up. I felt his rush of angry emotions rushing in through me. I was prepare to see him glaring at the 12th Vampire Order Guard; however, Jacob was looking at me with does round hazel eyes. I was very surprise to see him smiling at me. It was almost magical in so many ways. It feels like he miss me. I know he miss me very much; however, this time he was being so much more. I was being very surprise by his actions completely "Tell Clifford, I am busy today. He doesn't expect me to be stuck with him like glue listening to his annoying ego" Jacob mutters not at all nicely. He didn't look at the 12th Vampire Order Guards. Instead, he keeps his attention towards me. 

"You were once a worthy opponent, Jacob" One of the 12th Vampire Order Guards says without thinking it first. I look at him surprise at his boldness. I couldn't believe, he goes right ahead to jump into the lion's mouth. Jacob looks at the 12th Vampire Order Guard as he rise his left eye brow "I'll ask just for today -- explain yourself, kid" Jacob is amuse by not killing him. He holds me with one arm easily. I lean in his chest smiling "You were once the 9th Vampire Order Lord. I can't understand how you let go of all that power to become somebody's lap dog" In a second I was somehow sitting on a chair. I look up noticing Jacob has brought it from the living room. Everything happen while the 12th Vampire Order Guard spoke his thoughts. Jacob was staring at me not even looking to acknowledge him yet. I smile at him; however, I was starting to feel horrible. I didn't look up at the 12th Vampire Order Guards or Jacob. 

I know Jacob wants me to look up at him, but how can I truly look at him when I am the reason he lost his tittle. I sigh heavily feeling a bit weary at the thought of the past. It can take a lot to have a soul mate. If you are not careful in Jacob's case -- he had to pick between me and his tittle. I knew little about it. Back then I was an spoil little brat that wanted everything happening as I said so. I had my reason to be like that. I have always had problems with my father because of it. He doesn't want me to be around Jacob. Every time there is a family gathering, he separates Jacob and I. It upsets Jacob and I to no end; however, I can hardly do anything about it. My father things he is doing something good by separating us. He never learns from his mistakes. He has a way of being that doesn't go well with how I think or am. I felt a soft pick on my cheeks. I turn my head right to stare directly at Jacob. He was kneeling down next to the chair I was on. His right hand was caressing my blond hair.

Jacob smiles at me "Yes, I gave it all up; however, I gain something way better" Jacob speaks loud and clear. The moment the words reach my ears, a single tear fell down my left cheek. A smile forms on my lips as I couldn't believe he thought I was way better than his tittle. Jacob's hazel eyes soften moving closer to me. When I close my eyes for a second more tears fell from my eyes. I am confuse as to why I am crying all of a sudden "I have no idea why I am crying" I whisper softly hoping that can help out. It was dreadful quiet around us. The only sound were my cries. They were not cries of sadness or happiness. I have no idea why I am crying. Jacob holds me to him kissing the top of my head. The 12th Vampire Order Guards were still there. One of them step up forward staring right at Jacob "We are not leaving without you, Jacob" He blurts out increasing his volume a bit to loud. I grip onto Jacob's shirt not wanting him to leave me alone.

Jacob sighs heavily holding me tightly "Calm down, Loreine. I am not leaving you ever again" Jacob moves closer to my ear. He whispers softly to me this words over and over. They seem to work perfectly as my body obeys him instantly. I look at the 12th Vampire Order Guards noticing they brought their weapons out. I move away from Jacob's hold pointing at the idiots with weapons. Jacob looks at them emotionless. He face palm himself while shaking his head "How many times do I have to repeated? Your weapons don't work on me" Jacob stands up looking at them. They have determination on their features. I pay attention to Jacob and them. I know that weapons are useless against Jacob. Why would you use a weapon against somebody that knows more about it than you? They didn't back down when Jacob walk in front of me. Jacob's back was to me as he shield me from them. He wasn't in a defense mode. He wasn't going to take them seriously. 

"Haven't your mother never told you not to run around with dangerous weapons?" Jacob grins to them as they rolls their eyes at Jacob. Jacob disappear for a second as they look around. I know exactly what's going on. Jacob is to fast for them to see. They are from the 12th Vampire Order as Jacob is from the 9th Vampire Order. I am sure he wants to dispose of them quickly to come back to me. I am pretty sure, he isn't planning of wasting to much of his attention with them. I look at them when tree of them were push to far away. One of them flew by me to stop at the end of the hallway. I look straight ahead seeing Jacob appearing in front of the last 12th Vampire Order Guard. The one that had a loose mouth "Give me your best shot" Jacob tells him opening his hands. He was waiting patiently because the young man stares at Jacob. I could see from his facial features he look around 20 something. He was staring at Jacob for about a second.

The young man strike at Jacob; however, it was very soft. He didn't had an strong grip on the weapon. Jacob was able to take it out of his hands "Now, I'll give you a good survival tip" Jacob smirks looking at the terrified vampire. The young man starts throwing punches at Jacob. I could see he was angry at the fact he is losing. Are all 12th Vampire Order bad losers? The same thing happen to Jason DeathLock. When I look up Jacob had one of his hands behind him. Jacob had his other hand holding the young man's neck tightly. The young man was trying to speed out of Jacob's hold; however, that only made Jacob hold onto him tighter. I look at Jacob smiling. He winks at me while snapping the vampire's neck. The young man drops to the floor instantly "He didn't want to listen, did he?" I ask Jacob as he shakes his head. I look around seeing him walk around the vampire bodies "No, he isn't dead just knock out for a bit" Jacob speeds to Loreine kneeling in front of her.

"You are my knight in my darkest time, Jacob" I lean my head to Jacob's. I stop as our forehead's touch. His hands were loose at his sides. I have my hands at his face sides. I wasn't looking at him because I had my eyes close. I know he is smiling a rush of happy feelings came from him. I am glad to be back to him "Take me to Karla, Jacob" the words left my mouth instantly. I really want to see my younger sister. I felt a gust of wind just like if I was flying through the skies. I smile holding onto Jacob. He responds by holding onto me tighter. He was like my own big terrifying killing teddy bear. It's so beautify hot. When we stop, Jacob was in front of me protecting me from something. I was staring at his back whom ever was in front of us "I am glad you are alive and well, Lady Loreine" I sigh heavily recognizing the voice instantly. I touch Jacob's back letting him know it was alright. He shrugs moving to the side; however, he holds me closer to him. In any case we have to run off. 

I lock eyes with red ones "It always a pleasure to see you, Katty" I sweetly mutter unable to really talk loudly. My throat was very dry for some reason. I place a hand to my neck seeing a water glass in front of me. I look up to notice one of Katty's personal guard. I smile looking up at Jacob nodding to him then smiling to me. I took the water glass slowly drinking from it. I had no idea I was this thirsty then again I was out for at least 8 days. The only thing keeping me alive was Senin. I know Clifford won't be stupid enough to try and attack me while under it. My spell would of activate. Let's just say it won't be pretty. As Clifford have friends everywhere; however, I have best friends in higher places than him. One of Katty's personal guard takes the empty glass then leaves "Thank you, Katty" I see Katty nodding my way. She has a beautiful smile on her pale features. Her skin wasn't completely pale. It was a mixture between pale and dark circles. 

Dark circles are the initial color your body goes into after you are dead. I love how her skin doesn't look as she is dead. Her different skin color is noticeable, sadly. She is a very nice young vampire. 

Surprisingly, the 12th Vampire Order doesn't follow her point of view. 

I notice her small pet snake. She couldn't be higher than four fingers. It's literally the most saddest thing in the whole world. Katty smiles at her small pet snake "Hi, there" She mutters playfully petting it's head. I see how Katty's small snake enjoys the attention "Anytime now, DeathLock" Jacob snap at Katty gaining her attention "You are being moody today, Jacob" Katty pouts at Jacob staring at me. I look at her shaking my head "She probably has no idea what happen" Jacob and I sigh at the same time. Katty looks at us confuse "Your brother stab, Loreine" Jacob informs Katty whom looks a bit surprise. She place a hand to her cheek "I'll take away his tittle for 10 centuries that might teach him to respect" Katty mutters her thoughts loudly as usual. Jacob rolls his eyes "20 centuries plus make him spend community service at order 8. The Lord's there will love to teach him a thing or two" I look up at Jacob while he spoke "Okay then. Go make the preparations" Katty spoke to one of her Personal Guards.

He disappear instantly. I look at Katty knowing very well she isn't done "I'll call on a favor from the 5th Vampire Order -- two of their best will be Guard outside Karla's room" I stare at Katty a bit taken back. I never would of thought, she would go that far to help. She smiles at me sweetly "Clifford is not in his right mind at the moment. He is stress with family matters. I am not going to let him misbehave in my Order" I nod her way smiling. Jacob's grip on me hasn't loosen. He is worry that Katty will attack. I am sure she won't. Katty is the sweetest vampire in the 12th Vampire Order that I don't want to burn in flames except Lisa. Lisa isn't even a member of the 12 Vampire Order. Katty stares at me smiling "I don't think is good for you to see, Karla. Both of your states are horrible at the moment" Katty speaks up gaining my attention once more "She believes, you have being doing some personal business for your father" Jacob sighs heavily moving hair out of my face. 

"I am thinking the same plus school will be out of the question. We can't attend while we are both unable to walk" Katty nods waiting for the answer. She always looks for that affirmation that people won't leave after she gives them her back. I sigh shaking my head "Of course. We will spend a few more days, Miss Katty" I saw how Katty claps her hands happily. She was having the time of her life. She didn't stay after that "We'll order something to be bring to the room" Jacob blurts out carrying me bridal style. I laugh at his features because I just had too. It was the right thing to do.
