like that too. “Thanks for inviting me,” Meg stated politely.
“You're welcome.” Turning to his brother he said.
“Why don't you show Meg to her room, so she can freshen up if she wishes? I've had the blue room made ready for her. Dinner will be served in the informal dining room, in around two hours. I'd like to talk to you before dinner, Stefan.”
“Sure Nik. Come on sweetheart and I'll show you to your room,” Stefan stated with a smile, as her took Meg's hand in his and led her from the room.
Nikolai didn't take his eyes off of Megan as Stefan led her from the room. When she was no longer in sight, he walked around to his chair and collapsed in an inelegant slump. He wanted to pull his engorged cock from his pants and relieve the aching throb. He had been waiting for his mate for so long. He was ecstatic he had finally found her, but now he would have to see how much of a relationship his brother had with her. God, what a mess. Her scent still lingered in the room and he couldn't stop himself from breathing it into his nose and lungs again.
Nik had become Alpha of his pack when his father had died. As much as he loved being the head of the family business and the pack; he knew it was going to cause problems when he finally revealed to Megan, what they really were. He loved that he had found his mate, but knew he was in for a rocky ride, as she was human. Most humans were totally unaware of the existence of other kinds, amongst them. Nik knew a couple of vampires and witches as well as the existence of ghosts, but had never met any of the spectral kind. He just hoped Megan Harvey wouldn't run from his house screaming when he eventually told her what he was.

Meg followed Stefan through the sumptuous house, feeling very inadequate by the opulence surrounding her. She was such a clumsy woman. She knew she would die of embarrassment if she accidentally knocked or broke something.
“Here we are, sweetheart,” Stefan stated, he opened a door leading off from the hall on the second level of the house.
“Oh my. This room is absolutely stunning.”
“I'm glad you like it, Meg. I'd better get back to Nik and see what he wanted. Your luggage should be brought up very soon. Make yourself at home,” Stefan stated as he turned to leave the room.
“Thanks Stefan. I could really do with a shower.
I'll see you in a couple of hours.”
Stefan gave Meg a smile and quietly closed the door behind him. He made his way back to Nik's study to see what he wanted to talk about.
Stefan arrived back at the study in time to see Nik down a shot of whiskey. He had never seen his brother drink before dinner, so he knew there was definitely something wrong.
“Take a seat Stefan,” Nik stated as he sat down in his chair.
“What's up? I've never seen you drink so early before.”
“How well do you know Megan Harvey?” Nik asked in a deadpan voice.
“Uh, not that well. We are becoming good friends and I really like her. Why?” Stefan asked his brother.
“Answer another question for me first. Are you in a relationship with Megan, as well as friends?”
“No. I wanted to have a relationship with her because she is such a wonderful, loving woman. I have taken her out a couple of times and kissed her once, but there is no chemistry between us, no spark.
So we both decided to leave it at friendship. Why are you asking me all these questions about Megan? And what was with that growl you let out before?”
“Megan is my mate,” Nik stated quietly.
“Oh my God,” Stefan stated, as he sank down into the chair across from the desk.
“Does she know what we are, Stefan?”
“No. No, she has no idea. Are you sure she's your mate?” Stefan asked.
Nik didn't bother to reply, instead rose an eyebrow at his brother's question.
“You're going to have to take things slow with her, Nik. She is such a sweet innocent. She's had a pretty sheltered life, from what I gather. Her parents were
