    Kiara tucked her legs to one side. She was sitting in the master bedroom, the dinner tray by the bed. It seemed like Tia was on a mission to fatten her up. Case in point, the large stack of multiple ribs on a plate.

    Things going downhill? Ribs

    Bill surely couldn't complain about her lack of eating now. She licked her fingers, setting down yet another rib. She wiped her hands, feeling full and hardly making a dent on the food. She chuckled. Tia would be the death of her someday.

    She took a moment to look around. She'd just tossed a few clothes on a plush armchair, mostly her work clothes from the previous day. After working on her house, her car and her talk with Quinn she was exhausted.

    She had overhead from the guards that Bill was home, but was tied up with Jessica. She wouldn't disturb him. He seemed so...lost lately, like he had so much on his mind he wasn't being himself. Maybe later in the night she'd bring him her latest blend of royal, a special concoction of fae and pure human that surely would help put him in a good mood.

    After his talk with Jessica, and his vision of Lilith. It had shaken Bill to his very core, it had been months since he last saw the embodied vision of Lilith in his home. It had really shaken him that she appeared to him, especially since he was in possession of the last remaining vial of her blood. He had ordered the guards to carry on about their duties, and had ordered a full search of the ground floor for listening devices and camera's. He had to know how the Stackhouse boy had managed to escape his capture, there was a fox in his hen nest and he wanted to know who it was.

    Bill ascended the stairs to the first floor, heading straight into his master bedroom, he caught the scent of human food in the suite and knew it to be Kiara. As she raised her head to meet his gaze as he entered the room. He peeled himself of his jacket and dropped it to the floor in a heap and plopped himself down on the edge of the bed, sighing heavily from his argument with Jessica. He slowly undid his top buttons on his shirt as he sat there quietly, relaxing in silence.

    Kiara blinked. Bill, silent as ever just sat down, looking honestly tired. She scooted over on the bed, placing her hands on his shoulders, rubbing them gently. She said nothing, not knowing for sure if words would be alright at this point. She didn't want to pester him if all he wanted was a moment of peace.

    Bill relaxed into Kiara's touch as he closed his eyes and let her actions wash over him, his nights recently had been filled with stress and arguments that he had forgotten that he needed time for himself to relax. But still, a King's work is never done.

    "Jessica. She found Jason Stackhouse in the basement" his words quiet, full of ache and tiredness.

    He relaxed further into her touch, he was exhausted mentally, he just needed a break from everything.

    Kiara bit her lower lip. That must have gone over like a lead balloon. Knowing Jessica she probably laid into Bill about him taking justice into his own hands.

    "I take it she wasn't happy" she said softly, still rubbing his shoulders.

    "Want me to draw you a bath? I'll tell the servants to keep it down so you can relax a bit"

    "She hates me" was all he said.

    He could still feel Kiara running his shoulder as his eyes remained closed as her touch soothed him.

    "Want me to draw you a bath? I'll tell the servants to keep it down so you can relax a bit"

    Bill smirked at the thought of having a night to relax, but yet he couldn't get the conversation out of his mind, all the boys words weighing heavily in his mind. He had to know whether he was telling the truth or not.

    "Where were you last night?" he asked curiously.

    She blinked. She couldn't outright tell him what she was doing, but there was no sense in lying either. After all the guards had seen her and Quinn getting out of her car.

    "I went for a drive with Quinn. Wanted to discuss a new type of Royal blend I thought we could use at our wedding" she said casually. She was still rubbing his shoulders while she spoke.

    "Why? was I not supposed to leave the mansion last night? The guards didn't say anything"

    "You went out to discuss a new blend? And that required you and the Tiger to leave the premises to do so? Do not lie to me Kiara. I hate it when people lie to me" he said sharply.

    He stood up from the bed and turned from her, Christian was right, his words that he spoke were true. He had gotten under skin and now what he spoke was true,

    "So, i will ask again. What did you and John have to discuss that couldn't be spoken here?" he asked.

    She blinked, her eyes wide with both surprise and a hint of hurt.

    "Bill... it was wedding plans I assure you. I didn't want anyone overhearing for fear of ruining...certain...private surprises" she said, looking up at him.

    "Ask Quinn, it was all we discussed. A few color themes, some wedding favors some... 'entertainment' and we argued a tad about what Royal blend to use or if I should try and make a new blend"

    What had gotten into Bill? He'd never called her a liar before. He was already angry at her, she could both sense and smell it but she could honestly say she didn't know why. Even if she wasn't being truthful about the contents of her conversation with Quinn she hadn't done anything inappropriate with him.

    "Wedding favors? color schemes? Things that could be discussed in any part of this building and yet you choose to take a ride with your ex? I find that a little hard to believe" he said shockingly.

    He didn't know where all this was coming from, it seemed to flow through his so easily. All the bottled up anger he felt, the words that Christian had spoke. It was all getting to him, and he couldn't stop. Was Christian right? Bill took a step closer towards her and inhaled, the tiger's scent was all over her.

    "I can smell him all over you. Your covered in his mark. No vampire would think you were mine" he spat out.

    She gaped. "I was in a car with him Bill. Close quarters. Some of his scent must have clung to me" she said as she got off the bed.

    "Why are you so angry? Why don't you trust me?" she asked, feeling even more hurt by the second, but her hormones were also making her angry. The animal part of her hated being grilled.

    "Why would I EVER think of doing something with Quinn of all people?!"

    "Because that is what everyone does, they stay and once they have had their fill. They leave....I know its the moon cycle this month, do you think i didn't know? So i didn't appease to your needs the other night that you had to seek them elsewhere?" he spat at her.

    He stormed across the room trying to figure out what that other scent was, coming to a pile of her old worn clothes, the scent was heavy over there as well as though someone else had been in his private quarters.

    She narrowed her gaze. "So you're accusing me of sleeping around?!" she asked as she placed her hands on her hips.

    "And yes the moon has been out and it's been TORTURE not having you beside me but I dealt with it. I'm your fiance. Contrary to popular belief the ring means something to me"

    It cut her deep. Yes her past had been one of sleeping around and she knew she'd had plenty of chances these past few days to sate her needs but she'd kept loyal to him.

    "How... how could think so little of me Bill... after.. after all we've been through... how could you think I'd cheat on you?" her voice shook. Her anger took a quick back seat to her hurt.

    Bill hands found what he was looking for, a pair of shorts that did not have her scent on it, but that of another, he recognized the scent almost instantly.

    "And it seems that ALCIDE has also gotten to you as well? How many more Kiara? HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE?" he walked up to her, her shorts in his grasp as he held them up to her "AND DO NOT LIE TO ME!" he bellowed out.

    He turned away from her, Christian's words had really gotten to him, driven him almost mad with rage and jealousy.

    She narrowed her eyes "Dammit Bill! Alcide helped me fix my car. I gave him a hug. You're going to kill me over THAT?!" her eyes flashed orange.

    "There are NONE! Get it through your thick head... N.O.N.E!" she hissed, her hands balled into fists.

    "What now? You're going to go through my phone? My emails? Guess what? I employ male workers, I have male donors. You think I went and whored around with them too?! her voice got louder with every word. She was growling. She was angry, hurt...no she was livid and betrayed.

    Bill couldn't contain his anger, it was ready to pop at any moment and he knew if it did he would hurt Kiara, physically. And as much as his anger bubbled beneath the surface, he knew that he couldn't; he wouldn't.

    "He was right about you! I let me fool myself! Again!" he screeched out.

    Before he took his anger out on Kiara, he reached for the first thing he could find which happened to be an antique lamp and threw it against the wall as it smashed into pieces.

    She gasped then walked to him and slapped him hard. "How could you believe to someone else over your own FIANCE?!"

    She didn't care she'd stepped over some broken shards of lamp, cutting her feet open, the anger she was feeling overrode any physical pain.

    "You know ALL of my past! Every single sordid, dirty, shameful detail but the moment someone else spreads a rumor you turn against me! Did it every DAWN on you that maybe someone is trying to break us up? Let me guess, it was some vampire who told you this... probably someone out to hurt you and you decided to be stupid and BELIEVE THEM!"

    Bill bit back his response, Christian had really gotten to him, sunk his teeth in him when he was vulnerable and at his weakest moment and it felt like he had drove a wedge between him and Kiara and it was working. But yet he couldn't settle his anger, it was getting the better of him, the image of Lilith still weighed heavy in his mind from earlier. It was possible that it could be here influence that was driving him to this sudden build up of anger.

    "It does not matter where it came from! It doesn't matter! I can't do this! Not anymore!" he said as he turned from her and sped out of the room down the grand staircase and out into the night.

    "DON'T YOU DARE RUN FROM ME BILL COMPTON! YOU COWARD!" she yelled, her voice carrying all along the mansion. She took off her engagement ring and threw it at the corner.

    She stormed off the room, leaving a trail of blood from her cut foot. One of the servants approached her, wanting to tend to her injury.

    Kiara turned her head to the maid, her eyes bright orange. "You touch me and I'll tear your fucking head off" she hissed, which scared the servant away. Without another word and giving the same warning to the guards she stormed off the mansion. She got into her car and nearly ran down the guards at the gate.

    It wasn't until she was a few miles down the road that the bitter tears fell. How could Bill do this to her? How could he think....

    "How....how could I have been so stupid?" she sobbed, nearly going off the road as the tears blurred her vission.
