I was having trouble dealing with the intensity in Lucian's voice right then. I mean, he was being really, really, really scary. I have known him for a long time, almost since the day that I came to Boston, and he and I bonded right away since we were both shifters that didn't take anyone's shit.
After the failed dating experience, we became closer and closer until Lucian was something like family to me. I know that I would kill for him, but I guess I just never realized that he would kill for me.
Now though, I was getting a glimpse of how much he cared about me. I was seeing just what kind of friendship and faux familial bond we had with each other. I have to say, as intense and slightly frightening as it was, I was happier than I could explain to know he felt like that.
