Right now, she was sleeping soundly, unaware of what was waiting for her when she woke up. A dead father, a suspicion for his murder along with a handful of others, two vampires and a werewolf who was having mixed feelings about whether to whisk her off to safety or just let her mate do what he wanted with her. A part of her needed to protect her as a human. She didn't sign up for this voluntarily. Claudia guessed that she was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Collateral damage. The other part of her was jealous. Strangely enough, it was the larger part. Would having a new daughter meant that she had to share Alex's attention? But his intention was to help Shade move on from Kitty's death. Did she have any right to get in the way of that? Everybody needed to be happy... the notion of which led her train of thought back to the girl's right to choose whether to stay human or not. Should she help her escape?

A few minutes later, she was naked, pressed against him and handing him the control for the TV. But it was impossible to actually watch TV, much less talk about himself when he was again starting to feel hot by her kisses. He strained to hold himself back, the effort making his voice gruff when he spoke. [color=lightgreen]"There's nothing important to know about me."[/color]
