Part 6

     I woke up in the early afternoon and saw Sofia putting my old clothes in the dresser. I spotted a silver tray on the desk. The smell of the food reminded me that I hadn't eaten in about twenty-four hours.

     “Hi, Sofia,” I said as I sat up. She jumped and nearly slammed the dresser drawer on her fingers.

     “Oh! Did I wake you up? I'm so sorry!” She looked frantic, as if she expected to get in trouble. 

     “No, you didn't wake me.” I got up and managed to grab her hand before she could flee. “Its okay. Really. You can stay, if you want.”

     Sofia looked confused. “You're not mad about before?”

     “No.” I shake my head. “Lots of people don't understand my condition. I get that all the time.”

     “Condition?”

     “Yea. It's a mental disorder or something. I've always had it.”

     “Oh.” The othe girl smiles. “That explains things. You can't help it.”

     Its my turn to be confused. Her sudden switch knocks me off balance.

     She sees the confusion and quickly explains. “I live with and work for werewolves, vampires, incubuses and various other demons and monsters. They try to behave, but they can't fight their natures forever. They slip up. They feel bad, unless you're talking about the Triplets or other a******s,. We humans that live here know that and forgive them.”

     “The Triplets?”

     “Worrin's younger brothers. Holden, Chaser, and Nickolai.”

     “I met Holden. He was in the woods last night.” I shiver.

     Sofia nods and squeezes my hand. “Yea. He's a dick. Thinks he's the s**t and Worrin has to smack him around a bit to get him to behave. I saw him this morning. He had a black eye and was wearing a shirt.”

     My head tips to the side. “Why would wearing a shirt be special?”

     “Oh, you don't know. Werewolves don't like wearing clothes. Neither do incubuses. Holden and Nickolai have enough vampire in them to stand wearing pants. Not enough to show any other way. Chaser is the most polite of the Triplets, but that's not saying much.”

     “So, Holden is a werewolf, Chaser is a vampire and Nickolai is an incubus?”

     “Yea, that's right.”

     “What is an incubus?” Sofia's cheeks turned bright red. She stuttered for a minute, then took a deep breath. Finally, she said, “An incubus is a sex demon.”

     I felt my face get hot and I know I'm blushing, too. Suddenly,a thought struck me. “Worrin is a werewolf, vampire and something else. Is he an incubus, too?”

     Sofia nodded. “Worrin is his brothers mushed together with great manners and kindness mixed in.”

     My blush deepened and spread down my neck and to my ears. I remembered last night and wondered if he had been about to admit that when Holden interrupted.

     “Tyler, he looks after Worrin like I do you, says he's kinda worried about Worrin. He hasn't fed the vampire or incubus in him since you arrived,” Sofia informed me.

     I started. “What? Is he okay? Why would he do that? What do incubuses feed on?”

     Sofia looked at me strangely. “You are his mate. Werewolves mate for life and so do vampires sometimes. You are his wife in all ways except the human one. Taking blood tends to get sexual and incubuses feed on the feelings produced during sex. Feeding on someone other then you for either would seem a betrayal to you to him.”

     “What will happen if he if he doesn't feed either?” I asked as worry frowned my forehead.

     “He's only a third vampire and incubus. Nothing would happen for a few days if he keeps feeding his werewolf third. But soon he will be unable to deny those hungers and he may loose control.”

      My mind raced, trying to find a way to help Worrin. I hadn't known him long, but I like being with him. Feeling something other than cold indifference was wonderful and I could never not like him.

     “If you want to help him, you're going to have to offer your blood to him,” Sofia remarked.

      I was jerked out of my thoughts and I remembered the night before last when Worrin had pinned me to my bad. I had realized that he was a vampire, but I still had not been afraid. I had been excited. “How do you know all this?” I ask.

     “Tyler is my cousin. We are mates of a set of half vampire-half sex demon twins. I have no personal experience with werewolves, but they are really possessive, I think. Linda, she's a cook, is mated to a werewolf. I'll ask her.”

     “Are all the humans here mated?”

     “Nope. There are thirty or more human servants and about seven of us are mated to various members of the clan.”

     “Clan?”

     “Yup. Worrin, the Triplets, and Worrin's parents are the Central Family and there are several Branch Families. You know, lots of cousins. When I first came here I tried to count them. I gave up after counting sixty-four.”

     My jaw dropped. “There are more than ninety-four people here?”

     “Oh, no.” Sofia shook her head. “We've the room, but most of them don't like to hang about. Worrin is the only one who has never bounced in and out.”

     “Wait. This place didn't look that big. How can there be room for ninety-some people?”

     “Oh, we maids got together and found this place is big enough to house six hundred people and there would still be elbow room. There are ten manors throughout the mountains connected by underground hallways and those have rooms, too.”

     “Wow,” I said, amazed. This place is huge and all I've seen of it is this room.

     Sofia left after that, saying she has other things to do before dinner.

     I hear a knock at the door now and realize it is dusk. Worrin is here.
