Her chosen vampire mate

Chapter 2

Isaac’s POV

I am preparing for my shift at the restaurant when I hear a knock on the door. I am not expecting anyone. So I am cautious as I go to answer it. My sire and friend Nico is at the door when I opened it. “Hey man what are you doing coming to this human town I ask.” Nico prefers to stay in the Coven.

“I just want to be sure you want to do this, be here in town versus stay in the Coven.” Nico asks me yet again.

“I told you I think this would be make it easier to blend in with the other college students if I don’t have to answer questions about where I got my money, where I live if I look like a lower income student that has to work to pay for college, no one really pays much attention to the background of students not from a wealthy family.” I explain again.

I am sure Nico knows it is not the full truth. The truth is while that will be easier I am also just tired of the political drama at the coven. I am tired of the female vampires who throw themselves at the men, I just overall want a change and a break. I am a relatively young Vampire only about 110 years since I was sired but I am feeling bored. So I decided I wanted to get a job, go to college and then attend law school. I have thought about this for a few decades and I feel like now is the time.

“I am going to ask again why now?”

“Nico man, I don’t know. I just feel like this is the right time. I don’t know why now and not a decade ago or why not 5 years from now.”I answered not sure why this is such a big deal. “Is there a reason you are bringing this up again? It isn’t like you to make the trip to town.” The more I think about his visit the more it seems out of character for him to be here.

I see the strain on his face as he goes to answer. I was right there is an ulterior motive for him to be here. “There is a rumor that 2 she -wolves have enrolled in the university and there is concern from the coven leaders that your enrollment at the same time could cause the already strained relationship with the werewolves to worsen.”

Ahh so here is the reason. “Nico please reassure the coven I am here to work and attend school and nothing else. The odds are I won’t even cross paths with the she-wolves and I will do what I can to avoid them.”

Nico gets a guilty look on his face. Oh no here it comes. “Actually Lord Jasper has stated that IF you are going to be insistent on staying here he wants you to just keep an ear to the ground about any pack activities.”

“No way that is not happening… I am here to attend school not to be a spy.” Ahh and even in the human town I can’t get my break from Coven politics. Why am I not surprised.

“He isn’t asking you to spy per-say, he doesn’t want you to go out of your way to get intel. More so if you just so happen to overhear some information that might be of use he would like for you to share it with me.”

“What information does he think I may hear that would be helpful? They are going to be college students trying to blend in like I will be?”

“Honestly the main thing Jasper wants to know is why the daughter of the Alpha and the daughter of a Delta have decided to attend a human university. Though he may have other questions as time goes on.”

That doesn’t sound like too much to keep an ear out for while I doubt I will be able to find that information out.”I can’t promise I will find out the answer to that question but I tell you what if I happen to find it out I will pass it along. Now can we be done with this interrogation of my choices?” The relationship with a sire can be odd at times because in some ways Nico is my father but I was a grown adult before we met. I know he feels the same responsibility and pride a human father would. So this conversation has made me feel like a teenager answering to his parents instead of a vampire who was born over a century ago and I am feeling frustrated.

I see Nico’s remorse in his eyes. He knows how he made me feel and I know he doesn’t mean to. “Yes, make sure to keep in touch and if you need anything you know I will always have your back.”

“Yes dad” I reply as is our joke. Nico smiles to know I am in a better mood at his meddling. “Now if I am going to be able to do this I need to get to work.”

With that Nico leaves. I know with Lord Jasper wanting information I will see him again but for now I have a few months before classes start and hopefully that means I will have a few months before I have to revisit this conversation. I head to the restaurant for my shift. I will be honest I am thankful I am a vampire as being a waiter is harder work than I thought. I see my human co-workers tired at the end of the shift and I remind myself that to blend in I need to look like the shift was hard on me as well. That is one aspect of blending in I may struggle with.

Tonight it may not be as hard as I feel the conversation weighing on me. I hope Lord Jasper does not decide he wants more information. I had to have permission to leave the coven but get to remain a member. While there hasn’t been a war in sometime belonging to a coven is important if war comes because there is safety in numbers. Vampires may be difficult to kill but we can be killed. So I would rather stay in the good graces of Jasper if that is an option. I also must admit I am just as curious as Jasper why would an Alpha’s daughter be attending the university? I thought Alpha daughter’s were more concerned about finding their mate and becoming the Luna of his pack? Maybe I will be able to cross paths with the she-wolves and get to know the answer to my curiosity.
