I felt a mother’s love from you. How could anyone be angry at that? Please don’t be upset – you are here now so you can help now. Can’t you?” Alex finished with hope in her voice.
Tatiana looked at Alex and she looked unsure. “Do you mean that? If you do I would love to stay. I would love to be near you, see what the future holds for you and for the future of both of you? The one that the Angel was implying. It is not usual for our kind to mix with anything other than our own but as you have all seen me and the Angel himself introduced me to you, I take that as an implied consent!” She sounded much better, Alex thought, she seemed genuinely happy to stay and Alex thought they could use all the help they could get.
The phone rang on the desk and Thadius got up to answer it. “Okay,” was all he said to the caller and he hung up. “That’s your place safe, Zach. You and Alexina can get off home. Tatiana can stay here. I want to talk a lot more and see if she can help our situation. I will find her some rooms, here in HO. I am sure there are some rooms that are unoccupied in the West Wing, near mine.”
Tatiana turned her extremely feminine and beautiful features towards him and smiled. “That would be just grand Thadius, just grand. Off you go you two. I will see you tomorrow at some point.” She directed this last comment to Alex and Zach. They made their way to the door and Alex looked back with a questioning look and Tatiana just waved her hand at her, shooing them out the door.

Amelia had been working in the background as they spoke and she was a little curious as to what the tiny female, Tatiana, had said about the future of Zach and Alex? Had she missed something?
She hoped they weren’t a couple because she had wanted Zach from the very first time she had laid eyes on him. Over 100 years ago. She had even tried some love potions on him but they hadn’t worked. Obviously because he was such a strong Vampire. She hadn’t given up hope, she usually got what she wanted and she ran roughshod over anyone who stood in her way.
Chapter 8
When they got to the front doors of HO there was a hive of activity going on. There were extra guards and several women, who Alex surmised were Witches, around the outside.
Vladimir was striding up towards the doors and stopped when he saw them. “Alexina, are you alright? We heard what happened and I am shocked. There has never been an attack here, ever. I have all my men working overtime to get the full place secured and I have placed two guards at the front and two at the rear of your property Zach. I will make sure you’re safe, if need be, I will stay at yours.” Vlad finished talking and it was obvious he was agitated.
Both of them replied “No!” at the same time. Zach continued talking. “That’s okay Vlad, I am sure that’s not required. The wards are in place at my house so we should be fine. I just want to get Alexina home now.”
Alex smiled at Zach, he was very diplomatic. Neither of them wanted anyone in the house with them. She looked at Vlad and answered his original question. “I’m a bit wobbly – that ‘thing’ was scary, but Zach is right, we should be fine now. I just want to get back and have a nice long drink, preferably alcoholic, and relax.”
Alex impulsively gave Vlad a hug. He was huge and her arms didn’t go all the way round. He seemed a little taken aback and Zach suppressed a laugh. Vlad looked down at Alex and spoke in a quieter tone. “Okay, if that’s what you want little lady then that’s what you will get. Zach, get her on home now. I have a meeting with Viktor to discuss what’s happened.” Vlad released himself from Alex and continued on.
When they got into the jeep, Alex could see Zach was now laughing and was a little confused. He tried to explain. “Oh that was great, Alexina! Vlad’s a very tough guy and never shows emotion in public. He’s the Head of Security and has to keep his men in
