with many unanswered questions. Was there more to the bond than feel each other's emotions? “I would start running if I were you!” Shane yel led out without turning around. His voice made Megan jump. He was right. She needed to find a new place to hide. She would have to save all the questions for later, and who knew, she might never get the chance to ask them. Megan looked at her watch . Almost five hours to go and during that time a lot could happen. A lot had already happened. She would have to find a really good place to hide at this time, a place that would not be easy for Jaromir to find. Megan looked up at the ceiling. She had to go up. There were sev eral floors above them. This building was huge, meaning a lot of places to hide in. She assumed that the floors above were apartments along with other rooms for different activities. This place reminded her of a hotel. Megan ran up the stairs, she passed the room with Jaromir inside and went to the elevator. She tried not to pay much attention to his feelings, but she felt them as clearly as her own. He was still angry and determined. Something was going on inside that room, but Megan didn't want to know what. She had to hide to save her sister.
Chapter 17
Megan remained moving. Hiding in one spot had prove n to be a bad idea, and somehow she managed to keep away from Jaromir. It turned out that the building had twelve floors. She moved up and down between them, only staying one each for about ten minutes before she moved either up or down. Megan was careful in every corner. She peeked around every one before she stepped out. She didn't want to bump into Jaromir by accident, but so far he was nowhere around. The vampires she encountered stared at her with huge eyes. She assumed that they wondered what she was doing here, but no one approached her. That made Megan remember what Jillian had said. Jillian had smelled the exchange of blood, and Jillian hadn't even been inside the room when she and Jaromir had been at it. Maybe that was what the other vampires picked up too. Megan sniffed at her arm, but she didn't smell any weird scent. She took a closer look at the vampires who were heading her way. Several of them sniffed the air while they passed her by with shocking expressions. The next couple of vampires reacted the same way. When the third group of vampires came into view Megan had gotten tired of all the sniffing and stepped in their way. Somehow, she knew that they wouldn't hurt her. The vampires were two blonde women and one attractive man with a tattoo of a snake on his throat. Their surprised facial expressions told her everything. Being stopped by a human was something they had never experienced before. “Do I smell f unny to you guys?” Megan asked. They all took a sniff and gasped before they exchanged gazes. One of the women came closer and took another sniff. She looked older than the other woman. She was also taller and had a more mature expression. “How can this be?” the woman said more to herself before she met Megan's gaze. “Our King would never bond himself to a human.” Megan felt insulted. “And yet he has.” The woman's eyes narrowed. “Relax, little human. I'm only trying to understand what is going on here. His scent is all over you, which means you must have been intimate with him.” Megan blushed and looked at the other woman and the man. They remained silent with puzzled looks on their faces. “Well ...” “You must mean a lot to him.” Megan shrugged. “I doubt it. I'm only here to fulfill our deal, and after that I'm gone.” “What deal?” the man asked. “That's between me and Jaromir.” “I doubt th at you will be gone once your deal with Jaromir is over. A vampire doesn't bond with someone just like that. It's rare. He considers you as his now, and you won't get rid of him that easily,” the man went on. Megan stared at him. She didn't know what to answer. What did that mean? Was she
