she considered him being hers too, in a possessive kind of way.
    Megan tensed.
    Damn, that sounded so weird. It had to be the bond talking. What else could it be? She didn't even know the guy for heaven's sake! Yeah, she had gone crazy. There was no doubt about it. That was what happened to you after spending time inside a mad house filled with vampires, she told herself. She and Jaromir were definitely going to have a long and hopefully nice talk when this was over. She was sure that he had used his powers on her.
    “It's only a hunt, Jaromir,” Shane said. “The hunt has awakened primitive vampire traits within you. You should calm down and not touch the human anymore. That way the bond will fade soon.”
    Jaromir hissed again, louder this time. He pulled Megan into his arms and held her tight while he glared at Shane and Jillian. “Touch her and you're dead.”
    Surprise filled Shane's eyes and he stared at Jaromir. This situation had to be unusual among vampires considering how Shane reacted to Jaromir's words. She had expected anger, and not surprise. Shane looked like as if he couldn't believe what he was hearing.
    But then Shane looked at her, and he looked a little bit too long. There was something in his eyes. At first there was suspiciousness before a thought of deeper meaning seemed to cross his mind. He nodded to himself and then he looked her over as if he was judging her. Megan gulped. What was he judging her for? This wasn't some kind of beauty contest!
    Jillian reacted differently to Jaromir's words. She hissed back before she attacked. Megan hadn't seen it coming, but thankfully Jaromir had. He pulled her away from him at the same moment Jillian threw herself at him. Megan didn't need to think twice to know that Jillian had aimed for her, but Jaromir had placed himself in the way. Jaromir's hard push made Megan land on the floor.
    “Shit,” she cursed and turned her head to watch Jaromir and Jillian.
    Jillian attacked him like crazy. She hissed and screamed while pure anger and madness radiating from her. She behaved even crazier than Jaromir had when he had stated that Megan was his.
    The world of the vampires became more and more clear to Megan. Jillian wanted Jaromir for herself, she maybe even loved him. Jillian wasn't going to stand by and watch a human take what was hers. Instead, she would fight to the death.
    Jillian turned toward her, ready to attack . Megan gasped and backed away when Jillian launched at her. Jaromir was faster and grabbed Jillian by the waste to hold her back.
    “Run, Megan!” he yelled.
    Megan didn't hesitate. She got up on her feet and ran out of the room.

Chapter 15
     
    Jillian was no match for Jaromir. She was strong, but he could easily wrestle her down, and that was exactly what he did. He needed her to calm down, and he needed to calm himself to understand what had just happened.
    He grabbed Jillian by the throat and pinned her to the floor. “One move and I will break your neck.” He looked up at Shane. “Go after Megan. Tell her not to leave. Tell her that the hunt is still on.”
    Shane didn't move from the spot. He stared at Jaromir with a serious gaze. His eyes asked what was going on. He wanted answers. Jaromir looked down at Jillian to avoid Shane's gaze. He had no answers to give right now.
    “Go,” he demanded and Shane finally left the room. “Now it's just you and me, Jillian.”
    She flashed her fangs and hissed. She was still in a fighting mode, but he had lost all his will to fight. Instead, his head was filled with images of sweet Megan who had driven him into a maddening passion. It had been a bliss, a desire so wild that he hadn't been able to stop himself. He couldn't even remember what had crossed through his mind when he had allowed her to drink from him while he taken her blood. He knew very well that it created a bond, but to exchange blood was also sacred among vampires. It only happened between those who swore loyalty, love and trust to
