“Perfect, that’s how you deserve to feel.” Kiran kisses my temple.
I guess I said that aloud. I’m too blissed-out to have control over my mouth right now.
We dress and head outside to the kitchen where the other three are gathered. They’re all staring at us with various degrees of amusement and lust. Jax’s gaze is very knowing so I head over and perch on his lap, next to Nic.
He wraps his arms around me immediately, breathing in my scent.
Jeremy passes over a coffee which I immediately chug. I’m exhausted, like a zombie, after everything.
Nic gets a serious expression on his face and I know we are about to get down to business.

“I talked to my mom last night, and she’s going to help search for a solution for Anna. She’s also going to talk to everyone’s parents to see if they can assist too,” Nic says.
I am relieved he’s already gotten the ball rolling on this. I want Anna out of Ryan’s control as soon as possible. But after that, there’s another problem.
“Thank you so much Nic,” I say, leaning over and giving him a sweet kiss on the cheek. “Once Anna can be woken up, what will she be like?”
Vampires were not a subject covered in much detail when my parents were teaching me. I imagine they didn’t have all the information on other species, just like the guys didn’t know much about hunters.
Everyone defers to Jeremy. “Well, she’ll need to be trained. I think I can handle it but if not, we may need to try finding a vampire willing to help.”
My gut churns at the idea of bringing someone else in. I only trust the people in this room and their parents with Anna’s safety. And I only trust their parents because the guys do and I have that much faith in them.
“Let’s start with you and go from there. What kind of training?” I ask.
Jeremy gives me a nod of agreement before continuing, “she will need to learn to control her blood-lust, strength and speed as well as training her to protect herself like you were trained Aly.”
That’s not so bad, the only truly terrifying thing in that list is the blood-lust.
“How bad will the blood-lust be?” I ask.
Jeremy shrugs. “It depends on the vampire.”
“There’s something else we should discuss while on the subject,” Nic cuts in. We all watch him, waiting for more information.
He focuses on me. “Drinking someone’s blood is considered extremely intimate and sexual. It’s not something any of us would be comfortable letting her do.”
He states it so matter of fact, it takes me a minute to catch up. I glance around, and they’re all nodding their head in agreement, with serious looks on their faces. Damn, I love these guys.
“We will need to find someone for her to feed from” Jay says after I give them all a blinding smile.
But that won’t work. We can’t bring anyone else into this, I’m sure of it. That only leaves one option.
“It’s not ideal, but she can drink from me. I know neither of us feel that way, it’ll be an act done as friends.”
Several frowns and fierce eyes glare back at me. I know I’m going to have an argument on my hands but I feel in my gut this is the right move, even though it sends a tendril of fear down my spine. When she drank from my neck, it almost killed me. My hand unconsciously touches the spot she tore open.
“No. Absolutely not!” Jeremy shouts.
“It’s too dangerous Aly,” Nic tries to reason.
The other three stay mysteriously quiet and I’m guessing they’re leaving this battle to the three of us. When I focus on them, I see fear shining in their eyes and more than one of them looking at my neck.
“Does she need to drink directly from me?” I ask, trying to switch directions.
