Alexander looked into her hazel gold eyes and got lost in them. He went into the flashback when Glinda gave birth to her, he saw her smiling into Candice’s arm. He saw cute little Elizabeth going to school, he saw her first meeting with Christian, he saw her pillow fighting with Alice, he saw her first day of junior high school, he saw her kissing Christian for the first time, He saw her stopping the car in the air and did her first witch spell.
And then he started seeing himself with her. He saw her kissing him, he saw her getting intimidated with him, he saw her getting married to him, he saw her into his arm near the beach, he saw her smiling and laughing with him, he saw her giving birth to his child, he saw her getting old with him. He felt human and then he came back from her past to her future.
Alexander’s jaw dropped and he sat on the floor on his knee. He dropped her head down in front of her. He imprinted on her and that was the biggest thing that happened in his life.
“The Hunter fell in love with his prey”
Everyone was looking at him shockingly. Meanwhile, Christian punched his face and grabbed his hair.
“Come, Liza, let’s go” — Tom dragged her inside the car and drove towards the town back hurriedly
Meanwhile, Christian kicked Alexander into his stomach and then dragged him into the woods.
“You lowlife!” — Alexander shouted and ran towards him
He pushed him on the floor and hit his head, Christian’s head started bleeding and after few seconds it got healed.
“Now don’t you dare even think about her—— I’ll rip your head on my own—— Liza is mine” — Christian growled
“Elizabeth? That little witch? Yours? Are you planning to eat her?” — Alexander chuckled
“I said ---don’t say her name you monster” — Christian growled
“You can’t protect her for a long time from me Love. Eventually, her heart belongs to me” — Alexander giggled
Christian ran to attack him but he vanished
“Ahhhhh” — Christian roared and sat on the road and punched the road. The road cracked and parted into two.

Tom’s car entered the territory of Southdale and he stopped the car and sighed. He then hugged Liza tightly and cried.
“Dad—— they will kill me” — Liza said while crying
“No honey no—— as far as, I’m alive—- He can’t even touch your hair. Relax calm down we are safe now” — Tom tried to relax her.
He then cleaned her face and kissed her forehead.
“Come on, breathe and sit relax——-we have a month to solve it—— let’s go home first” — he softly said and caressed her face.
Tom then started the car and drove towards the home. Meanwhile, Christian came back to the town and ran straight to Liza’s home. Tom’s car reached the house and so as Christian. Liza ran out of the car and hugged Christian and started crying.
“Sshh—-sshh!!! Don’t worry honey—- we are back now” — Christian caressed her hair
After hearing the noises, Candice hurriedly opened the door and shockingly looked at them.
“Alaric —- Liza” — she said
Liza hurriedly hugged her and she looked at Tom and he nodded her head.
“My baby— he caught you!” — Candice cried

Chloe came to Alexander who was laying on the bed and his eyes were closed. She smiled and sat next to him. She caressed his head softly and he opened his eyes.
“She escaped from you?” — she asked softly while opening his shirt’s button
“This time—- but I like my prey to be a little bit wild—- strong—- stubborn—- it makes the hunt enjoyable.” — he chuckled
“Consider me your prey tonight” — she smiled and kissed his lips.
He turned her on the bed and leaned on her and started sucking her lips while ripping her shirt off from her body. They were extremely intimated and suddenly he got a vision where Alexander was kissing Elizabeth. His eyes opened and he stopped kissing Chloe.
“What happened?” — she asked while looking into his eyes.
“Nothing—— just—-I just want to spend some time alone” — he replied while sitting on the bed and wearing his shirt back.
“It’s alright Alexander—- don’t think about her” — she sighed while back hugging him
“Chloe Love—- don’t talk about her—- Just don’t talk” — he growled and took her hands off from him and disappeared.

“We have to find a safe place for her” — Candice said
Tom, Candice, Christian, and Liza were sitting in their living area. Liza was so scared and weak. She was sitting in Candice’s arms and was shivering.
“But this is not the permanent solution” — Tom replied
“I have some idea—— until her birthday, she is safe here—— let me talk to my family tomorrow. They will talk to other vampires that are protecting the boundaries in the woods “—Christian said
“I will take her to London and will stay with her there. In the meantime, my family would distract Alexander and other hybrids” — he added
“Not a bad idea—— do it ASAP —— once she left the town, Then there’s no point of hybrids coming back here.” — Tom replied
“But what if he finds me in London” — she said
“I’ll protect you —- no matter what” — Christian replied and kissed her forehead.
“Come on honey—- time to sleep” — Candice said and held her hands.
“Mom Can you sleep with me tonight?” — Liza said to her mom
“I will guard you Tonight—- don’t worry” — Christian replied
“Don’t ruin your sleep for me” — she said
“Vampires don’t sleep honey” — he replied
Candice then took Liza upstairs to her room and Christian followed them. She helped her change her clothes and then they went to bed. Liza leaned on the bed and Candice covered her in the blanket. Christian sat on the couch and saw both of them.
“Goodnight, Honey” – Candice smiled and kissed her forehead
“Goodnight mom” – she replied
Candice went outside and closed the door. As she left, Christian came to the bed and sat next to her, and went inside the blanket. She hugged him and he wrapped his arm around her.
“Why are you so cold?” – Liza said
“Because I’m a cold-blooded creature” – he replied
“Since when you stooped aging?” – she asked
“When Christopher converted me” –he replied
"At what age?” – she asked
“Seventeenth” – he replied
“So you were of my age” – Liza said
“Yeah” – he replied
“I can’t hear your heartbeat” – she said curiously while putting her head on his chest
“Because I’m not--- alive--- Liza” – he replied
“It’s weird” – she said
He softly took his hands out under her head and then put her ear on her chest.
“But I can hear yours ---you are warm --- alive --- and has a sensational heartbeat---it makes me want you more” – he whispered while caressing her belly inside her shirt. She moaned a little and he smiled and stopped.
“Don’t stop!” – she moaned
He then took her shirt a little up and kissed her stomach softly and then started licking her belly button. She sighed and moaned and then she took her fingers into his hair. He hurriedly held her wrist and pushed it on the bed. She screamed with pain and he quickly put his hand on her mouth.
“Sshh!! Your parents will come” — he whispered and as he observed that she was sober, he softly took off his hand from her mouth.
He looked at her wrist and it became reddish.
“I’m so sorry Liza—- I didn’t do it intentionally” — he embarrassedly said
“It’s alright—- come here” — she said and pulled her towards the bed front. He sat with the bed front and she again put her head on his chest and slept.

“How is this possible? How can I print on her? This is insane. Why her?”
Alexander was sitting on the terrace and looking at the forest. It was the middle of the night and he was thinking about Elizabeth.
“But I’m hybrid. Hybrids don’t imprint someone—- I’m heartless”
He thought in his mind and then put his hand on his chest and felt the heartbeat.
“Heartbeat? Am I still alive? But I stopped aging thousand years ago—— what is happening—— is imprinting power developed in me as werewolves’ specialty? What’s happening with me?”
He closed his eyes and smacked on the wall near him.
"f**k this imprinting s**t! I'm an evil ----the evil doesn't do such good deeds--- I can't trust and protect anyone except my own self and my army----I'll kill her ----no matter what
