not before giving me the once over again with those sexy blue
eyes. Damn, it makes my girl parts quiver when he does that.
“Please make your Nachtmann aware of the problem as
well.”
    “Oh, I don’t have a Nachtmann ,” I
admitted. Annnndddd…..It took less than three seconds to get a
reaction out of him. That’s a record for when someone hears that I
don’t have daytime protection.
    His eyes flickered then narrowed, “You don’t
have one?” I could have sworn I saw the blood start to fill his
eyes and then just as quickly, drain away. Oh, he’s mad.
    “Nope, I don’t feel the need for one,” I
shrugged.
    “Well, I suggest you hire one,” he spat.
“These feral Lycan victims can walk in the daylight,” his voice
thundered. After a short pause, he sighed, “In fact, I will send
one to your home at daybreak.” He stood up and marched his big ass
Doc Martin’s right out of my office before I could protest. What an
ass! I wasn’t only talking about his physical one – although I
checked that one too – I was talking about his attitude. Granted he
was the man from my dreams, but that didn’t mean I automatically
liked the warrior.
    I heard Lydia’s heels clicking double time
coming for the office. She flung the door open and looked pleased.
“Please tell me you got a date with that hunk-a-man!” she
demanded.
    “No! It was strictly business!” I yelled at
her. “Remember that guy that was in here a couple of nights ago?
The one that was grabbing at the waitresses and trying to start a
fight with that vamp lawyer?” I asked, changing the subject.
    “Yeah, he was creepy,” she shivered.
    “Well, I guess he was attacked by a Lycan and
he’s turned feral; killing female vampires and humans. The Krieger Dragus wants us to be more careful. We need to put
my security plan in place.”
    “Oh, Dragus,” she purred. “What a sexy name.”
Lydia actually sat back and fanned herself like a fainting movie
star. Her acting skills needed work.
    “Yeah, okay,” I laughed, unsteady. “Hey, he
said we need to let our Nachtmann know. I guess once they’re
bitten by a Lycan, they can walk in the daylight. Make sure you
tell yours at home.”
    “You don’t have one at your home,
remember,” she said sarcastically. “Don’t you think it may be time
to hire one?”
    “Well, I have one now.” I grimaced. “He’s
sending one to the house. Jackass got up before I could tell him
no.”
    “Well, he’s right, you need to hire one to
keep watch over the house,” Lydia smirked. She reached inside her
pocket and pulled out a nail file. The scratching sound of her
meticulously sanding them made the hair on the back of my neck
stand on end.
    “Girl, I am 291 years old and you are 302.
Each one of us is stronger than the W.W.F. put together. I think
it’s pointless. My security system and access to my room could
deter a thousand year old vampire. Now get out of here and go meet
with the employees.” I shooed her toward the damn door before I got
a headache. And so I could think about the warrior from my
dreams.
    I hung my head so that she wouldn’t notice my
little freak out about knowing Dragus. Of course she knew me better
than she knew herself.
    “Wait a minute,” she said spinning around on
her heels. “There’s something you aren’t telling me, Charity. What
happened?”
    “Nothing.”
    “Bullshit,” she growled. “Spit it out,
Harwood!”
    Lydia knew about the dream. In the beginning,
when I had first been turned, I told her about it. She had said
then that it may have been the vampire who attacked me, but I knew
that was not the case. The warrior in my dream was not out to hurt
me.
    “I need you to think back to when I was
turned.” She nodded and looked really confused. “Do you remember me
telling you about the human dream I was having for months before
the attack?”
    “Yes, about a warrior who was looking for
you?”
    “The warrior in my dream was him,” I
whispered.
    “Him
