Before Harris could react, a thin,
    dark-haired man lunged at Rohan with a knife.
    Rohan ducked, but the edge of the knife caught his
    arm. Furious at the sight of his mate injured,
    Harris swiped at the attacker, throwing him off
    the balcony with the force of his hit.
    Rohan laughed. “My hero!”

    Harris caught sight of blood dripping down
    Rohan’s arm. He quickly grabbed some napkins
    and pressed them to the wound. “Are you all
    right?”
    “Just a little nick, I’m going to go rinse off. I’ll
    be right back. Wait here and behave.” Rohan
    kissed Harris’ cheek.
    “I don’t make any promises,” Harris grumbled.
    He didn’t know what was wrong with that kid
    who attacked Rohan, but he’d put an end to him if
    he came after Rohan again. The last worries as to
    whether Rohan would be a good mate or not
    vanished. Harris wouldn’t feel this protective of
    just anyone. Rohan was the one. The other half of
    his soul.
    He watched Rohan touch one of the stone foo
    lions as he walked down the hall leaving a slight
    trace of blood in his wake. Harris hoped the
    cleaners noticed that and wiped it down. For a
    moment, he thought the statue moved, but maybe
    the stress of the night was getting to him.
    “Are you okay, Harris?” A man dressed in a
    suit with a name badge approached Harris. He
    recognized him as Duncan, the theater general
    manager. “I heard you were attacked by that guy
    with a knife. He’s being held by security, and we
    called the police. Were you hurt?”
    “No, I’m fine. My friend was the one attacked,
    and he only has a scratch.” Harris peeked over

    Duncan’s shoulder to see if Rohan was returning
    yet.
    “I’m sure the police will want to speak to you
    when they arrive,” Duncan said knowingly.
    Harris nodded. “Let us know when they get
    here.” He looked nervously around at all the
    people staring. He didn’t like being the focus of
    the employees’ attention. He just wanted to leave.
    He didn’t like Rohan being apart from him.
    “Excuse me; I’m going to check on my friend.”
    “Oh, of course. Let us know if there is anything
    else we can get for you.”
    Harris made some non-committal sound before
    rushing after his vampire.
    Rohan was emerging from the bathroom when
    he approached. “Hello, beloved.”
    “Are you okay?” Harris asked.
    Rohan nodded. “I’m almost all healed.” He
    held up his arm to show Harris the slight scratch
    now barely a visible line.
    The lights dimmed, letting them know it was
    time to return for the second half of the play.
    “How about we go home,” Harris said.
    Immediately, he tried to bite back his words, but
    they were already there like the giant elephant in
    the room. He now considered Rohan’s mansion
    his home. When had that happened?
    Rohan slid his uninjured hand around Harris’
    and tugged him toward the stairs. “Let’s go,

    beloved. I’ll need to make some calls and see if can
    learn more about this attack.”
    Harris reviewed the encounter in his mind. “I
    don’t think it was random. The guy’s eyes weren’t
    right, and he knew you were a vampire. I’m
    thinking a sorcerer put him up to it,” Guilt
    churned Harris’ stomach for tossing the guy. For
    all he knew, the human had been enchanted with
    no control over his actions.
    “Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it. You
    didn’t know. You were protecting your mate,”
    Rohan soothed.
    As they reached the bottom floor, they spotted
    Rohan’s attacker. He stood in handcuffs,
    apparently none the worse for wear except for a
    bruise on one cheek from where Harris had hit
    him.
    “I’m sorry, man,” the brown-haired man said.
    “I don’t know what happened. I don’t even own a
    knife.”
    “Uh huh,” the arresting officer flicked a gaze
    over Rohan and Harris. “I’m taking him to the
    downtown station. Come by and fill out a report
    tonight. You have enough witnesses to
    corroborate your
