Chapter 246: Stellarnook

Taking Samantha down through her window, he landed stealthily on the ground. When he carefully dropped her to her feet, she looked as excited to see Tobias and Alistair. The brothers could almost picture bunny ears growing at both sides of her head, wagging happily as she tried to contain her excitement– she looked adorable, but unknown to her, a certain vampire wasn't fancying the same treatment being showered on his cousins.

"From the looks of it, I'd say you're being treated well here." Alistair dared to step forward as he ruffled her hair in front of Ivan's presence, deliberately. He could see his cousin's eyes switch instantly, eyebrows taut, lips straight, but he pretended not to notice and continued to butter his cousin's little lamb.

"Did you miss us too?"

"I missed everyone." Samantha answered carefully, and her eyes glanced between the two brothers, "but… you two are here as well?"
