quietly as she played. She still kept her
eyes closed and tapped her heel to keep time. A small smile crossed his face as
he remembered the sullen little girl she was when she was first forced to learn
to play.
    “I’m
pretty sure Madison would not approve of your current thoughts,” Victor told him mentally. When Casper looked at him, he smiled.
    Casper rolled his eyes and turned his attention back to
Madison. She had grown into a capable woman, but when he peaked into her
thoughts he saw that she was still the fragile little girl he wanted as his
mate.
    “And her wolf would not appreciate that,” Victor commented.
    “I didn’t mean it like that and you know it,” Casper hissed
at his father.
    Victor only smiled. His youngest son was so easy to rile up
when it came to his feelings for Madison. The boy had no clue that if it were
not for the fact that he could not feed from her, he would have made her his
mate.
    “You can stop talking like I’m not in the room,” Madison
said softly. Her eyes opened and she glanced over at both Vampires. She then
looked at where her boys were curled up and sleeping. “Looking at them like
this, I can almost see them as puppies.”
    Casper frowned at her. “Why a Wolf Madi ?”
    She sat her violin next to her on the window sill and rubbed
the side of her neck. She couldn’t feel the Mate-mark Troy left on her, but she
knew it was there. It was actually a comfort during the full moon. “Because to
him, I was normal,” she confessed. She then frowned as she looked at Casper and
Victor. “I’m not going to keep going over this. It was my choice and my
mistake. And looking at the boys, it was a good mistake to make.” She picked up
her violin again and turned so that she was sitting fully in the window with
her back to both Vampires. “Now if you have to keep asking, you know where the
door is.”
    Victor looked at his son for a long moment. “I told you not
to question her,” he whispered as she started to play. When Casper glared at
him, Victor stood and walked over to Madison. “I was thinking about going
abroad again,” he said. He stared into her eyes as she tilted her head, but
continued. “Would you and the boys like to come with me?” he asked simply.
    Madison smiled as she saw what he was trying to do. “Trying
to get me out of the prying eyes of family?” she asked playfully.
    Victor shook his head. “No my dear; I just want to make sure
you are happy and comfortable.”
    Madison’s eyes lowered as she continued to play. That was something
one said to a terminally ill patient. She shook her head and stood. Without a
word she walked around the room.
    Casper’s eyes followed her. “He didn’t mean it like that Madi ,” he said looking into her mind. He then flinched when
he felt a sharp pain behind his eyes.
    Eyes the color of blood glared at him from across the room.
“Stay out of my head,” she demanded. She continued to play for a moment before
she lowered her violin and bow. Her eyes turned to Victor. “They should be out
for the rest of the night now,” she said softly. “I’m going to take them to
their room.”
    Victor shook his head. “I will handle the boys,” he said
simply. “You go and get some rest.”
    Madison knew his tone. There was nothing she could say or do
to make him change his mind. With a roll of her eyes she walked over to her
window sill and placed her violin back into its case. “Fine, you’re better with
them anyway,” she said lowly. She then looked up at the moon. As always, a far
off look crossed her face. “He’s happier without us,” she whispered to herself.
    “Then he’s a fucking moron,” Casper snapped as he stood.
When Madison turned to him, he hissed out a low breath and walked out of the
room.
    Victor and Madison frowned at each other. Madison tucked a
lock of her hair behind her ear. “Is he going to be alright?” she asked.
    “When he finds the right woman, yes,” Victor said simply.
    Madison
