Thank you to everyone for all the alerts and love that you guys have given me. I am so happy every one likes the story. I promise it only gets better. Well enough with the rambling from the author. ON WITH THE SHOW!!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but Isis, Freya, Kellan, Allan and my plot twists.

Chapter 7

I walked back inside trying to find Isis. She was sitting with Sophie-Ann talking and drinking from someone. I made my way to her and bowed.

" Tante, Alan said you wanted to talk to me" I said smiling.

" I have good news for you." She said wiping the corners of her mouth. "But first we must find my Kellan. He will want to see your face."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me through the crowd. We spotted him at a table playing cards with his two guards and a few area sheriffs.

"Kellan, dear, Freya is here to hear our good news." she spoke kissing him on the cheek.

" Would you two stop being so cryptic." I giggled.

" Alan has asked for your hand in marriage dear one." Kellan said taking my hand in his.

" You said he had to ask me first right?" I asked shocked.

" Nien Freya, we said yes. He is a great sheriff and a good vampire. He is a respectable and good match for you." Isis said trying to sooth me,

" Tante, I do not wish to marry yet. I hardly know him. I like him but I do not love him. Besides just because he is a good sheriff does no mean he will be a good husband." I said horridly. I was starting to feel like a caged in tiger.

" Freya he is well suited for you. Please don't fight us on this. I want this not only as your King but as your Onkel. He will make you happy and that is all I want fro my Fey. Let your Tante and I help you be happy." he said attempting to sooth me again.

" I will not accept this betrothal and I sure as hell will not yield to him. I promise I will not push him away either. But if he wants my hand he must first win my heart." I said sternly.

" Agreed. We love you sweet child. Now go find Alan and talk to him. He will be eager to hear from you." Kellan said as him and Tante kissed my cheek.

I walked back through the crowd to the patio. I had hoped Eric was there. I wanted him to hear this. Maybe then he would ease off a little. All though there was a part of me deep down that wanted him to fight for me. When I finally reached the patio I only saw Alan sitting in my bubble chair. I put on a smile and walked out towards him. He turned around and stood up as I approached him.

" Hello schön, I thought you would be happier after hearing the news." He said kissing my cheek and grabbing my hand.

"Warum sie würde, fragen sie mich nicht zuerst?" I asked.

"Das ist nicht der weg meiner art." he said wrapping his arms around me.

"You don't even really know me Alan. I am flattered that you want me to be your mate but I cant marry you right now. We barely know each other and I don't love you." I said softly I didn't want to hurt him.

" That is okay Fey. A long engagement could be fun." He said seductively.

"Nein, I wont accept this betrothal. No one asked me what I wanted or needed. Please don't be upset with me. I want you to win my heart not force me to hand it to you." I said before kissing him sweetly on the lips. " Ist dass eine erträgliche halbe wegmarkierung?"

" Ja. I will do my best to win your heart. Just don't fight me on it okay." he said kissing me again.

As we kissed his hands moved from my face to my hips. The kisses became more passionate. I felt his fangs snap down as he deepened the kiss. We were slowly backing into a tree.

" Fey, Sie riechen wunderbar." Alan said pushing my back into the tree. "Ihr blut ruft zu mir. Kann ich habe einen geschmack?" He whispered against my neck.

"Nein, Tante would stake you herself." I said breathlessly.

He began kissing my lips again. With each touch of our lips it became more urgent. He lifted me up and my legs wrapped around him. He lightly grinded his pelvis into me. I moaned into the kiss and pulled his hair earning me a sexy growl. His hands slowly began to push up my dress. As his hand ghosted farther up my leg I snapped beck to reality. This couldn't go to much further.

" Alan we have to stop. I need to go home I work tomorrow." I said between kisses.

" Please Fey, let me taste your sweet blood running down my throat. I need to feel your blood in me." he said hungrily.

"Alan I wont let you bond me to you. Now come on sweet heart we need to get me home." I said unwrapping my legs and standing.

He grumbled under his breath and led me to his car. As we walked I texted Isis to tell her Alan was taking me home. We sped off to my home and reached in a little under an hour. Alan was a bit of a speed demon. He walked me to my door and kissed me again before he left. Once inside I headed for the shower. I needed to clear my head and relax tomorrow I saw Eric.

Eric POV

I had went home and changed after leaving the Queens house. I quickly made my way back to Freya's house and waited in the woods across from her house. I got there ten minutes before she arrived home. I saw that cocky German sheriff walk her to her door and give her a long deep kiss. It took a lot of restraint to keep from ripping his hands off of her. She didn't invite him in saying she had to work tomorrow and wanted to rest. As his car drove off I made my way to her door. I heard a few swears and then her running down the stairs. I could see her through the window. She was still in her dress and had not taken off her make up yet. In fact the only thing she didn't have on was her sexy stiletto heels. I had never noticed how short she actually was. She couldn't be more that five foot flat. She smiled as she saw it was me and answered the door.

"I didn't expect to see you until tomorrow Mr. Northman." She smirked.

" Well I thought I would drop by and we could talk about our arrangement." I said winking.

" Come on in Eric. I need to change before we discuss anything." she said moving to the side to let me pass.

" No Fey I like you in the dress." I told her. I quickly wrapped my arms around her. She fit so perfectly and I loved the way it felt. I picked her up and carried her to the kitchen. I sat her on the counter top and smoothed her hair back from her face. I leaned in to kiss her and she stopped me.

" I need to tell you something Eric." she said holding her hand to my chest to keep me at bay.

" Freya, I want to kiss you. You said I could kiss you and that we would go from there. Don't back out now." I said grabbing her hand and kiss her finger tips.

"Nein, I mean no. It is important. Tante has promised me to Alan." she said pulling her hand away.

" So you are engaged?" I asked stunned. Marriage to a vampire was forever.

" No I refused to accept the betrothal but agreed to keep an open mind to it, but I don't know how long that will appease them" she said looking down.

"Kiss me Freya and I will make all the pain go away." I said tilting her face to mine.

She looked up at me with her big hazel eyes and I moved in. the second out lips touched it was fire. I could feel ever atom in my body charge up. It was like I had just touched a live wire. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I nipped her lip as my fangs came down. A drop of her blood landed on my tongue and suddenly I was a beast needing more. I picked her up and laid her on the table. Her hair fanned out around her and if I had any breath I would have lost it. I covered her small frame with my own and began our kissing again. She reached for the hem of my shirt and pulled it over my head. I hiked up her skirt and kissed down her neck. I wanted to bury my fangs in her and claim her inside as well as out. She began to whisper something in german I couldn't make out. I began to kiss her feverishly again After what seemed like seconds to me but was actually minutes we parted.

" Eric we cant do this." she said breathing heavily.

" I know you felt something for me just then. So according to our deal I can pursue you unchecked now." I said triumphantly. She tried to sit up and I forced her back down. She once again put her hand on my chest and I suddenly was hit with a wave of emotions. I felt unyielding comfort and calmness. Freya had her eyes closed and looked to be focusing. As soon as it had came it passed.

" Freya what the hell was that?" I asked standing up.

" I don't know, that has never happened to me before." she said a bit scared.

" Well what did it feel like?" I asked

" I saw you sitting on a fur rug with tons of black pillows all around you. You were in front of a fireplace and was speaking to a woman about how much you cared for her. You told her that she was your world and your…" she stopped putting her hand over her mouth like a child saying a bad word.

"My what Freya. She was my world and my what." I asked her grabbing her hand from her mouth.

" Your gudinna." she whispered.

" I said she was my goddess? Freya what the hell did you just see?" I asked a bit alarmed. Had she seen our future together?

" I have no idea. I need to find Lotus she will know what this is." she sounded worried.

Just as I grabbed my shirt I heard someone walk onto the porch. I blurred to the front door only to see nothing. I opened the door and stepped out. On the top step was a small box marked for Freya. I picked it up and walked it into her after checking around again. She had straightened herself up and was walking towards me.

" Who was it?" she asked.

" I didn't see anyone, but I found this." I said handing her the box.

She opened it and inside was a small rosary and a note. I saw Freya's face drop as she read the note. She quickly put the white gold and amethyst rosary on before handing me the note.

Goddess,

I found this in my collection and thought you would like to have it. After all it was your mothers. I wonder if you will scream as loud as she did when I tore out her throat. I bet you will taste even better than she. See you soon Freya.

I read the note and became angry. I tried to push down my emotions as Freya was beginning to cry. I quickly gathered her up and took her to her room. I sat her on my lap on the bed and let her cry. When she finally stopped sobbing I asked my questions.

" Do you know who killed your mother?" I asked stroking her back.

" Nein, Tante always said they died in a plane crash when I was little and that I was with her and Onkel." she said sadly.

" Fey why don't you go take a nice hot shower and relax." I soothed as best I could.

" Promise not to leave and I will." she said vulnerably.

" I will be right here when you get out. I promise." I said raising my right hand.

She walked into the bathroom with some clothes in hand and turned on the shower. I heard her step into the water and grabbed my phone. I dialed Pam and told her what happened. She agreed to watch over Freya when she was not at Fangtasia with me. I hung up with her as Freya walked out of the bathroom. She had a pair of short shorts and an oversized sweatshirt on.

" Well I will let you get to sleep. Sweet dreams Goddess." I said standing up.

" Actually Eric would you please stay with me until I fall asleep. I am still a bit frazzled." she said getting under her covers. I sat down in her chair and leaned back.

"Ill stay till you are safely sleeping then I must go." I said settling in the chair.

" Eric, I know this is dumb but could you please come lay with me? I just don't want to feel so alone right now." she said wiping away a few tears.

I quickly slid off my shoes and climbed in next to her. She snuggled into me and I tightened my arms around her. As her breaths evened out I began to think of what a future with her as my mate would be like. Before I knew it the sun was getting ready to rise and I needed to get to my chamber. I kissed Freya's cheek and left a note on her pillow. I was falling for the Immortal Goddess of Love. How the hell did that happen?

A/N: I hope you all liked it. I should have another one out in about a week or so. I hope you all review and I will see you later.
