Chapter 96 Family

• Andrius huffed and I couldn’t help but smile. I’ve never had a group of people I could hang out with, and definitely not one that were willing to fight over my time. I had Liz, but I didn’t have Levi until recently. Adding more people—long term people gave me that sickly warm feeling in my chest and I blinked quickly to stop myself from tearing up. I’d been so worried they wouldn’t like me.
• “I don’t have anything… too serious until Friday,” Andrius grumbled before he lifted his cup of orange juice to his lips. I was reminded of the meeting with his appointed chosen mate and her dad. That means no one will know who I am until after he clears that up. That should make me feel weird, feel small, but I only sit straighter in my seat. I’m glad I’m here. I wanted everyone to know I’m the woman by his side. Everyone at the table knew about her, but now I’m sitting by Andrius. Did they know of me? Were any of them close to her?
• “What of the vampire issue? Did you find anything out?” Focusing on Duke, he leaned forward, his elbows on the table. The conversation turned serious and I tensed at the mention of our mortal enemies. Not because I was afraid, but because I was reminded that the war had reached here too. How would they react to Levi? Was it possible they would accept him?
