rea dy to attack. Gio was sure the nephilim had his weapon hidden on his person, he had to in order to be so blunt.
     
    Gio acknowledged the body language clue with a stiff nod and had the good sense to take a step back, feeling foolish that he revealed himself. His desire to protect the strange girl was like nothing he’d ever remembered feeling. He knew her family. Her mother was very powerful and her father was commanding but erratic. More peculiar was that he didn’t know the daughter.
     
    “Even you can appreciate my concern when I see a strange nephilim in  my  club pulling an innocent witch out onto the street. It’s my duty as a well-respected business owner to ensure she's safe.” Logic was a safe approach. Although, he would've preferred to see other people on the street. A nephilim was less likely to attack in the presence of possible humans. All the supernaturals had a simple code: blend in. While the strange blond may be his biggest enemy, he was new here and smelled desperate. He needed something from the young witch and he’d have to ask her nicely before Gio let him leave with her.
     
    “Your club?” Sophie asked in a whisper. Gio may not have heard her if he wasn’t a vampire. “You’re Giovanni?”
     
    “Giovanni Mancuso,” he bowed elegantly, “at your service, my dear.”
     
    Sophie’s mouth stayed open longer than she probably intended before she spoke. “Nice to meet you. Everything is fine here, your honor is safe. I was just leaving.” The anger that rolled off her was concerning to Gio. He didn’t know what he had done to offend her.
     
    “Look, I’m sorry, I’m short on time and I’m not good in social settings. I also risked a lot to come here. I think we got off on the wrong foot.” The blond nephilim extended a hand toward Sophie to shake, “my name is Christopher Knight and I need your help.”
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter Three
     
    Sophie’s green eyes darted back and forth between Giovanni and Christopher like a ball on a ping pong table. The tension between the two was thick like molasses. Things were happening so fast. Her life was rapidly changing, turning upside down like a turbo charged rollercoaster, only this ride had no end in sight. It was only a couple of hours ago that she was a normal woman getting ready to go back to college, and now she was at a nightclub where a handsome blond man accosted her, pulled out of the relative safety of the club to the street where he called a tall, dark, handsome man a vamp, as in vampire she assumed, and then asked for her help. It was quite obvious the two didn't like each other and if she went along with all the fiction she'd read about the supernaturals she should run far away from the vampire and cling to the angel, but she felt the opposite reaction. She wanted to run to the vampire and tune out the angel's request for help. Unfortunately, she was a caregiver and had a hard time turning away from people in need, even those that gave her negative vibes.
     
    They both stood in silence staring at her while she tried to come to terms with what was going on.  Like that was going to happen anytime soon.  But she had to admit she was taking things a lot easier than she ever imagined she would. She couldn't help imagining a scenario like this happening when she was younger and going through her paranormal addiction stage, but that was for kids, right?
     
    First things first , “what can I do to help?” her mother was right, she hated being labeled a caregiver, but she couldn't avoid her desire to take care of people in need, it was a curse and a blessing all rolled up in one tasty little tablet. A pill she had a hard time swallowing, but did anyway. Always putting the needs of others before her own, before her own safety.
     
    “Your mother, Regina, was a healer and I’m hoping you inherited her abilities.”
