3:00am

I cannot believe my father is still hounding me about marriage. I'm truly not all that old for a vampire. I'm coming on my 50th year as one.

He doesn't understand, of course that my heart will never belong to someone as low as Craven. It will never belong to some one I cannot trust. Sure, in my father's eyes, he is a righteous man who is destined for great power, but other than that…. What is he?

I want to please my father, to make him smile and bow his head in gratefulness on my wedding day. If it means marrying Craven, I don't know what I'll do. I'll just need more time.

Lucian moved in today. I expected him to come out and talk to me for a while before he fell asleep, but after I showed him his room, I didn't see him for the rest of the night. I guess that can't be helped. Even Lycans need their sleep.
