(Vlad's pov)

I woke up to Victoria being gone. I search through the cabin and find no trace of her. Finally I see her walk through the front door. "Where the hell have you been I was worried sick."

"Why I was just sitting outside watching the cars go by."

"I told you not to go outside I don't need you to get killed."

"Vladamer. Why in hell are you so upset for I'm fine I went outside and I'm fine."

"It doesn't matter when I tell you not to go outside I mean it. Don't ever disobey me again."

"One you are not the boss of me. Two you never even cared if I died before why would that change now. And three I hate you!" She started to cry and she stormed off and locked herself in the bedroom. I walked up to the door every hour asking her to let me in but she never did.

"Victoria please let me in I'm sorry can we just talk please." She finally let me in and she was sitting on the bed and her face was all puffy. I sighed. I sat next to her and pulled her close. Holding her became an every day thing but I didn't care because I enjoyed it. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. You just had me worried about you."

"Why your going to leave me anyways."

"I'm sorry about that too, but I have no say in the matter."

"Why though."

"Because I don't want to loose you Victoria." She smiled up at me and lean in. She kissed me softly and I pulled back. "Victoria we can't. Your human it's against the rules."

"Screw the rules."

"Victoria we can't. I Have to listen to the rules if I am to ever rule."

"Then don't rule be with me." She was close to crying again I could tell.

"Victoria I can't" I looked at her with a somber expression. All I want to do is tell her I love her, but I couldn't it wouldn't be fair to her. I couldn't be with her it was against the rules. I also have to become king and leave her. I also can't let my feelings for her get in the way of keeping her safe.

"Fine." That was all she said before she moved away from me and climbed into bed. "I'm going to bed." I sighed and stood up. I left and got blood and when I came back she was fast asleep. I climbed in after her, after kicking my sneakers off, and I fell asleep next to her.
