Claudia shook her head. [color=palevioletred]"Oh, I can't take any of her clothes. It won't feel right. Don't worry. I can pick up some clothes tomorrow...possibly with Caius. He may have gotten that nice condo unit for us but I doubt he has that much clothes yet. I'll also need other stuff to make my room feel like home,"[/color] She draped her arms around Alex, burying her face in his chest and taking in his scent. She can't remember why she ever thought vampires stink. [color=palevioletred][i]Well, they still do. Just not this one. This one is mine and no matter how bloody he smells like---[/i][/color] her train of thought was abruptly cut off when she realized that he smelled like blood, irony and cloying. She blinked then looked from Alex to the unconscious girl then back to Alex. [color=palevioletred]"Were you... ordered to kill this girl's father?"[/color] she asked.

Darric deliberately ignored Casey's first question as he led her back up to his apartment. [color=lightgreen]"To put it simply, imprinting is that phenomenon among wolves that lets us find our soulmates. It's involuntary and you can't control it."[/color] A dark and wary look crossed his face when asked about being married. Therese's face loomed in his mind. While he had not thought of her for years, her face was clear in his mind's eye as though he only saw her a minute ago. He immediately pushed thoughts of her out of his head. [color=lightgreen]"No, I'm not,"[/color] he answered and then to avoid any other questions regarding it, he gestured towards the bedroom. [color=lightgreen]"You can have the bed tonight. I'll just sleep on the couch,"[/color] he said.
