jar, Donovan and Thorne whirled
around to see Melanie standing at the entrance to the bedroom and sitting room.
She had slipped on the dress she wore from the club, and now she stood, her chest
rising and falling uncontrollably. Clenching her fists together, Melanie's eyes
glowed yellow, and her fangs elongated. Thorne was caught off guard by his lover's
appearance.
    “Melanie calm yourself.” Donovan said gently.
    “How dare you come here father? Have you been spying on me again? Go home to mother!”
Melanie snarled.
    “I suggest you watch your tongue with me child, I'm still your father even though
you choose not to acknowledge me as such!” Donovan growled.
    “I'm a grown woman! Please just go away.” Melanie spoke through clenched teeth as
her eyes returned to normal and her fangs retracted. Her body shook at the transformation
that had almost taken place.
    “Melanie, why did you go out of your way to hide this from me?” Thorne asked, approaching
her.
    “Maybe I wanted a normal life Thorne. Everything you spoke of in New Orleans exists
here, only without the violence. Here in Charm City, vampires and werewolves coexist
peacefully.” She murmured, sitting on the loveseat.
    “Why do you not acknowledge your parents Melanie,” Thorne asked. You're lucky to
have them around; I wish my parents were still alive.” He admitted. “They can provide
you with so much guidance. I don't understand, why did you pretend not to know of
vampires and werewolves? When were you going to tell me?” Thorne asked impatiently.
    “Raphael did sense something about me at the club. I could feel it! Fortunately,
he couldn't pick up on anything thanks to the cloaking spell my mother placed on
me to hide the hybrid side of me, Melanie explained.
    “We don't like our presence to be known Thorne.” Donovan admitted. “We watch the
city and fight only when we must. I told you we don't make war, not in this city.
Both clans thrive well here in Charm City. We live many miles away in seclusion
and peace without any problems from the outside world.”
    “You didn't sense the wolf within me Thorne, because I wouldn't allow it. When you
arrived, you thought I was an ordinary human.” Melanie admitted. “I sensed something
about you, knew you were somehow dangerous, but…
    “But, you were clouding your senses with alcohol while working in that shithole!”
Donovan hissed. “I told you to stay away from that place and keep your senses about
you Melanie! Drinking isn't going to change who you are! You can't escape it, you
need to grow up and acknowledge who and what you are, and where you come from! And
you young wolf, your senses were clouded because of your obsession to find a mate.”
    “Don't judge me vampire!” Thorne snarled. “I sensed Melanie in New Orleans, she
drew me here!”
    “That would be the wolf within her, duh!” Donovan replied sarcastically, staring
at his daughter.
    Thorne's eyes narrowed, preparing to retaliate against the vampire's words, ultimately
he acquisieced, a feeling of dread clinging to every fiber of his being.
    Sighing, Melanie folded her arms, avoiding her father's menacing look, tuning him
out like she'd done in the very beginning. “I'm nothing more than hybrid, a freak!”
Melanie breathed. “I want a normal life!”
    “Did you truly think you would have a normal life in New Orleans?” Thorne asked,
slowly walking around the room, hands shoved into his leather pants. Melanie, as
much as I hate to say this, I agree with your father. I can't take you back to New
Orleans with me. Now that I know the truth, I understand why Raphael has a special
interest in you.”
    “You marked me tonight, didn't you?” Melanie smiled, approaching Thorne.
    “Yeah, the selfish young pup marked you. I can smell it!” Donovan hissed, rolling
his eyes at Thorne. “Come on, you two must come with me, as it will be safer. Thorne
my friend, there is much you will learn about us.” Donovan looked upon Thorne,
