“Your brother, the master vampire?”
Nodding she said, “He’s been master for threeyears. Do you have any other family members?”
He leaned against the wall. “It’s just us.Our parents died when Lia was in high school. They were killed in acar crash.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“Your parents?”
“My parents were killed when my brother wasturned. They didn’t like supernatural creatures, and my dad hunteddown the vampire who turned my brother and killed her. Her kisskilled them in retaliation, but I was spared because Caleb made mea non-vampire part of his kiss.”
“Kiss?”
“That’s what the group of vampires who hangout together is called.”
“I thought it was a coven?”
“I think that’s witches, but I’ve never askedone, so you’d have to ask the witches. Vampire groups are kisses.What are saber groups?”
“A pride. There used to be other kinds ofsabers—saber-wolves, saber-lions, and even saber-bears—but theydied out ages ago, and it’s just us four. Well, there will be moreeventually as we find our mates. I get the next mate.”
“How do you know?” she asked.
“Because it goes in age order. I’ve beenwaiting for Alaric to find you so I could have my own dreams.”
“You’ll have to leave? To find her?”
“Probably. It depends on what the dreams tellme.”
“I hope you find your truemate soon.”
“Thanks.”
Alaric, dressed in faded jeans and a tightT-shirt, grabbed Slade by the back of the neck and shoved him intothe room. He slung a bag over his shoulder and said, “Into the SUV,sweetheart.”
Something about the look in his eyes told herthat he was walking a fine edge of keeping his hands off her. “Ineed your phone.”
He looked surprised but handed it to her.
“I left mine in the limo,” she explained asshe dialed Gretchen’s cell. She wasn’t shocked when her friendanswered on the second ring.
“So you found your mate, huh?”
“How did you know it was me and who toldyou?” she asked as she followed Alaric out of the RV and to an SUV.He opened the cargo door of the big, black vehicle and tossed inhis bag. Then he opened the passenger door and pulled the seatforward and pointed to the third row.
“Lance and Gabe called me when they got tothe hotel, and this is a private number. The only people who callmy cell are you, my parents, and my alpha, so it was just a goodguess.”
“You’re so smart. You should ask your bossfor a raise.”
Snorting, Gretchen said, “Why are youbothering me when you should be wiggling around on a bed naked withyour new mate?”
Alaric must have enhanced hearing because hepurred. “I need you to get your butt out of bed and get threesuites for Alaric’s family ready. The rooms should be next to eachother, on the eighth or ninth floor.”
“Connected suites or the regular VIPones?”
“VIP is fine.” She pulled the phone away andsaid to Alaric, “I’m guessing you guys are hungry? I can have roomservice send some of their meat-filled platters to each room.”
He nodded. Pointing to the third-row seatagain, he said, “I’m also hungry for other things. Wrap it up,sweetheart.”
