Roses. They will teach her things she doesn’t need to know.”
    Lorri looked almost softened for a moment, “You know she will always love you right? You’re the one. No one can replace that.”
    Sam growled, “I’m not worried about her not loving me.”
    Lorri snorted, which was odd for Lucifer to do. “Sam she isn’t going to hook up with some Greek just because they tell her too.”
    He sighed, “So you concede they will try to make her experiment? That's their way.”
    “It’s their way. If they teach her to pull to ease the tension and the need then all the better for us.”
    He didn’t want to talk about it anymore. He wanted to smash things and destroy people that stood in the way of him and Hanna. It had been all he could do to not make an attempt at killing Marcus.
    Lorri turned onto a street and walked up to a large country house with a beautiful front porch.
    Sam froze as he felt it. He felt the cold in the air. It sparkled around his body.
    He looked at Lorri who growled, “Guards.”
    Sam nodded. He looked up to the window with the light on. He could see movement in the window. He flashed himself to the roof below the window. He peeked inside. He looked back at Lorri and pointed. She nodded and looked back the wolves surrounding the yard.
    “Aleks’s dad has been here Lorri. I can smell him. It’s fresh.”
    Lucas growled and began sniffing the yard.
    Sam watched a guy and girl sitting on the bed talking. He smirked at how awkward they looked, they liked each other. He gave a slight tap on the window, making them both jump and turn around sharply.
    The guy dove at the window like a hero protecting his girl. He pulled open the window with a look of rage on his face.
    “What the fuck? Who are you? Why are you doing this?” He grabbed at Sam.
    Sam laughed, “I’m here to help. Has a wolf been here?”
    The girl nodded looking terrified. Her left eye was incredibly dark but her right eye was pale and slightly frightening looking. Sam felt badly for her. Her face couldn’t look more terrified. Her pale skin looked stark against her dark hair and one dark blue eye.
    “How the fuck did you get up here? What do you want?” The raging teenager got in Sam’s face. Sam tried not to laugh, “I am a magical being with powers like being able to travel without walking or moving. What is your name?” He looked directly at the frightened girl.
    She frowned at him, “Who are you?”
    “I’m a Rose and you are in terrible danger. If you come with me I can protect you. That wolf won’t be the only thing that comes after you.”
    The girl’s face broke into a smile, “Like the Terminator?”
    Sam grinned back, “Exactly.”
    The guy looked back at the girl, “We need to call the cops. This is nuts Ophelia.”
    Sam continued to look into her marvelous eyes. He hoped she would use her ability to sense him and know to trust him. The guards weren't going to let anyone in.

Chapter Nine
    Ophelia

    The black soulless eyes of the mysterious guy outside her window were trying to tell her something. She didn’t know what, but she felt a hum inside of her mind when she looked at him. He was ridiculously good looking. He made Jake look plain. She couldn’t focus around him, something about him was unnerving. He smelled like something she had never noticed before. He was sex and seduction. His lips…She broke the stare and took a breath.
    “What are you?” She whispered.
    He grinned at her.
    Jake gripped her arms and shook her, “Ophelia we need to call the cops and your parents. Where are they?”
    She blinked at him, unable to process what he said.
    He repeated himself, “Where are your parents?”
    “They went to the movie.”
    Jake’s thoughts seemed to pour into her mind, but it was as if they found their way in through his touch. He was frightened, he liked her a lot. He wanted to punch the beautiful stranger with the black eyes.
    Ophelia snapped out of the haze and blocked his thoughts from her
