Chapter 3: I'm Sorry Come Again

Hello to all of my lovely readers. I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful reviews. In this chapter I do own Caity and Danny. I do not own any of the De La Cruz Bros. or their Lifemates and relatives.

Zacarias could only stare at Caity as her words sank in. The savior of his soul was with another man. How could this be? He just couldn't wrap his mind around the fact that she was not single as she should be, that she was not waiting for him as she should be. All of his two thousand years he has waited for her and this is what he gets? Zacarias gently cleared his throat, "Your boyfriend of six months you say."

Caity nodded her head, "Yes sir, he asked me to date him just after I had gotten laid off from my last job, due to the fact that the business was shut down. Since we have been close friends for nearly two years, he had decided to help me out by supporting me until I got a new job. Then one thing led to another and now we are officially a couple."

Zacarias listened intently to her little love story, trying to find flaws in how their relationship began. 'They haven't been dating long, and he hadn't asked her out in the most romantic way. It shouldn't be so hard to break them up. The first step to do that is to get her in my domain.' Caity had continued to stare at him since he seemed so lost in thought. Then his gaze focused back onto her, when she really wished they wouldn't have. His gaze was just too intense, too possessive.

"So, you chose to stay here, for your boyfriend, when he does not even live here? Does this seem very logical to you? Why should you have to suffer from robberies, drug addicts that live just down the hall and such a run down place that if a tack were to fall the place would no doubt crumble to pieces?" Zacarias used his most compelling voice, using the strongest compulsion that he could summon. He was going to get her to agree to coming with him no matter what.

Caity felt like she was in a daze. What had they been talking about, why was she staying here. Her reasons no longer really made sense to her anymore. "Because, I wanted us to be closer, so he wouldn't be upset." She argued weakly. Zacarias sensed that she was weakening, probably to the fact that she was beyond tired with her shift today.

"Why not come home with me, I can have all your belongs packed in less then an hour, or I could buy you new things that better fit such a lovely woman as you." Caity nodded weakly, she couldn't seem to comprehend their conversation or what she was really agreeing to. All she knew was that she had to agree with whatever Zacarias, her boss, said.

Zacarias placed his large hand at the small of her back and guided her out of her apartment building to his car. 'That was easy enough. I know this man will not be such a threat.' With that thought in mind, he sent her to a peaceful sleep as soon as she was safely in the car and buckled in. Then with a small smile, he drove off towards his home.

I am soo sorry this took so long. With work, navy, and school all in one day, every day. I never have time to write anymore. Hope you like it.
