looked like a huge entertainment place. A huge TV, two pool tables, and some other stuff were crammed into the room, with kids playing on them.
“We hang out here until our Custos come and fetch us for our training,” Lada explained, going over to the TV to flip it over to MTV. So glad we can watch the normal world from here. I was wondering if they had the same stuff, and so far it was as normal as usual.
“So, who’s your Custos ?” Nanini asked, grabbing the pin ball machine close to us.
“I believe it’s a Chax somebody,” I replied, looking at her feet moving like they were on fire. The girl clearly had a problem keeping still, but then she suddenly stopped dead, so I looked up to see her looking at me in shock.
“You mean Chax De Luca?”
“I think so, didn’t really pay much attention to the details, one boring teacher to another isn’t worth it, right?”
“Boring will be the last thing you call a Custos , but Chax is the worst of them all. Vampires aren’t people persons, and man he is the worst of the lot,” Lada said next to me.
“What does that mean?”
“First of all, it means they are not old guys or woman, the fallen never grows old. Haven’t you noticed that with your parents? We hit a late twenty stage and that’s it for eternity. Second, he is a Dominus Custos , being one of the first original fallen and he serves on the council. He is permanently in a bad mood.”
“Oh that’s just freaking great! I get Darth Vader?”
“Yeah, you get the most desired, sexiest vampire in existence; with a really bad attitude to completely spoil everything else.”
“Crap, that sucks,” I finished, laying my head back on the couch, my hands on my forehead. That’s all I need, an ass training me, and apparently he looks like a god to spoil every dream guy I ever had.
My life so sucks.
Chapter 2
With my hands on my head, I was still sitting there hating my life and wishing I was never born. Why do I always get the bad deals in life?
“Nanini, are you ready?” a guy’s dream voice asked from behind me. I lifted my head and turned around to see a dead sexy guy standing there looking at us.
“I see we have a new Apprendo . Seth De Monte,” he greeted, walking over to stand in front of me. Man this guy was beyond sexy; dark brown hair reaching his ears, blue eyes, and a smile with dimples and all. But it was his body that completely had me dumbstruck. Absolutely perfectly shaped guy with muscles, too. Lada decided then to save me and gave me a soft push. I snapped out of it.
“Hi, Kasadya Levourne, but Kas for short,” I replied, getting up to do the greeting thing. The moment my hands touched his arms, goose bumps broke out all over them. Oh boy, this guy is so hot.
“An honor, Kas,” he said smiling, giving me even more goose bumps.
“I presume Troian is your father?”
“Yes, and my mom’s Freya.”
“Good, your father is one of the best, and your mother is also very talented. I will be looking forward to seeing what their daughter can do.”
“Okay, that’s makes two of us,” I countered, and everyone laughed.
“Well Nanini, shall we be off?” he asked, still looking at me with a smile.
“Yip, let’s get this going, I have some adrenalin to work out,” she replied, her voice moving behind me.
Nodding at me and Lada he joined Nanini, and they walked out together, with me still looking at him the whole time.
“Oh man, I think you just found that hunk you were talking about,” Lada said, patting me on the back.
“Oh come on, it’s not like we can date our Custos. ”
“Actually, you can. The moment you turned seventeen you are, by fallen law, declared an adult and can date anyone you want to. And he is available, too.”
“You’re joking right?”
“Nope, if you want you can even pactum with him and become mates.”
“What?”
“It means you two can bond and become husband and wife if things work out. You don’t even need your
