Should he never find a way back home he was happy that he would have her. She was now his home. He was more than thankful for her understanding.

”For a millennium I was in rage and humans suffered for this. The vampires I created seemed to carry in them that rage like I passed along with my life force fury. But then their fury became more than mine and even I could no longer control them. One morning I woke up and wiped them all out and started all over to build a family without anger and fury. Till now I don't know why I did that. I don't know what gave me the courage. But I became better and have been for three millenniums. I feed and I pass my life force to those who chose. I give them a choice to become like me because everyone does deserve to make that choice for themselves.” He said quietly.

”So they all share from your life force?”

”Yes.”

”And now I do too.” He smiled at this breathed out.

”I wouldn't have it any other way. I have learnt how to control my blood lust Monica, you can trust me.”

”I do. I do trust you Lucius more than I have anybody. I find that I'm drawn to you too like my body, my soul, my mind__ I just__I find myself wanting to be around you, with you_ I don't know if I can control it. Is this how it feels to be bound?”

”Do you hate it? He asked. ”Do you hate that you are bound to me? Tell me please, be honest.”

At that point Monica's heart stopped beating. She could not afford to lose her soulmate not now that she had just found him after all these years of being without him. All the years of pain loneliness and heart ache.

She wished that he could read her mind. If he could he would see that being bound to him was the one thing about her life that was good_the only thing that was good.
