I snarled and quickly regretted it, the channel was still open between myself and the baby and I heard her cry. Both in my head and in the physical world.

"Look what you did, Asshole."

I shot past Nova and back into the room, humming that lullaby again and drying her tears. She quieted some but it wasn't until I gave her back her dream that she finally calmed down.

"There you are, Little One."

I closed the channel and left her dream in tact before snarling and storming back to Nova, shoving him in his chest before punching his jaw.

"I could smell you from the Empire State Building, The wind carried your scent and it was intoxicating. I didn't know it was you at first, I was hoping for a family so satisfy my thirst and the window was open. The only reason why I was even in there was because I heard her fuss. I wouldn't have harmed her, Nova and no, I don't know all that you've done that's related to your name. Don't really care to be honest, only reason why I knew it was because I snooped through your head first time we met."

My throat was dry and I remembered the taste of his blood on my tongue.

"You also taste incredible and now that I know it's you..."

That may have been a mistake but I lunged, catching him around the stomach with a spear and taking us both to the hard floor of the balcony. I straddled his waist and grabbed his head, pulling it tightly to the right and digging my fangs into his throat. I moaned softly against his flesh and swallowed a few mouth fulls before I felt him move again.
