"What do we do?" Natalie asked in a small voice, almost whispering.
She was new to the mate bond thing, but she knew that she found him attractive, and she felt calm within his presence.
"We have to talk to them," Arya said thoughtfully.
Both girls ran after them, only to find them outside staring at Valac like they would murder him at any moment.
"Mom!" Natalie ran to her, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't!" She said to Natalie, who stopped short. "And you," Kimberly said, pointing at the demon, "my daughter is sixteen! She's still a child. I will not have her ruin her entire future because she thinks you're her mate."
Arya saw something flash in Valac's eyes. Anger? Possessiveness?
"I didn't realize she's under age in human years," Valac said.
So it was realization that flashed in his pitch black eyes.
"Even if she would have been over eighteen, I still wouldn't allow her to live with you!"
