Aleks watched her walk in and smiled, "Maybe just call him and let him know you're okay. It would be bad if he showed up."



Hanna looked distressed, "I will."



She closed her door. He looked at Sam and smirked, "Keep your pants on. She could break your neck."



Sam laughed never taking his eyes off Hanna's door. He took the room next to hers and closed the door.



"Aimee I'm going to the take this one." He pointed to the one across from Hanna.



She smirked, "Still under that spell?"



He shook his head, "Nope just worried about Marcus."



Aimee nodded, "I will take the one across from Sam, I'm a little worried about him."



Aleks felt a grin cross his lips, "This might actually be more entertaining than TV."



She rolled her eyes, "Ah yeah, more fun for you dudes. Hot Giselle and horny Hanna, sounds like porn. Should be absolutely nuts."



He walked into his room and thought about how close he was to Giselle's room. He wondered if she was as scared as she looked.



Chapter Forty-Six: Facetime for Fidelity



Hanna



She looked around the room feeling terrible. She picked up her phone seeing she'd missed seven calls.



She checked them, none of them were from Marcus. She dialed his number frightened by his response.



"Hanna." His words bit at her.



"Marcus can we talk rationally?"



"No, absolutely not."



"Marcus can we try?"



"No."



"Are you going to hang up on me?" She asked trying not to smile imagining his stubborn face.



"No, what are you wearing?"



She laughed, "Nothing."



"Liar."



"Can we talk about this?"



"No."



"Admit you are you being a big baby?"



"I'm not."



"Liar."



He laughed into the phone, "If they harm one hair on your head I want you to know I will destroy the entire city and I will unleash the Henry beast on them. Tell me where you are."



"No. Behave yourself. I'm fine really."



"I will be there tomorrow to ensure that. I will find you."



She inhaled sharply, "No please don’t come. It's one of the rules. No outsiders."



He was silent. She could hear her heart beat.



"Marcus?"



"I'm an outsider?"



"You're not a Rose."



"Fine but I will need to see you're okay. Not to mention the fact you will become quite difficult to live with in about a week." He chuckled.



She frowned, "Why?"



"I've been reading that book of yours. You need to release weekly to avoid tension build up."



She smiled, "Well I'm pretty sure I can handle myself there."



He laughed, "We could use that Facetime thing on your phone, I think that might be interesting."



She laughed feeling her face flushing, "No you don’t. That’s such a bad idea. You would rip the building apart to come to me and finish."



He chuckled, "Hanna I love you."



She smiled, "I know you do."



"When will you love me and only me?"



She shrugged, "I don’t know. I don’t know how to turn it off and on."



"Sleep tight."



"You too."



She pressed the phone off and sat on her bed staring out the massive window at the city below. She didn’t even know what city she was in. The lights of it gave way to her imagination.



"Hanna."



She turned to see Sam walking into her room from the joined bathroom.



Her stomach flipped, "Hey Sam." Her eyes darted from the bathroom to the door to her room.



"I need to talk to you."



She smiled, "Okay. Want to go to the living room?"



He smirked making her very uncomfortable and aware of his scent filling her room, "No."



He took a step toward her but changed his mind and sat on the chair in the corner.



His eyes searched her.



She gulped, "What's up?"



He looked down at the bracelet, "Where did you get that?"



"Lydia made it for me. It stops me from making everyone go nuts."



"Have you tried taking it off?"



"No but apparently the feelings you all had before, where you couldn’t stop following me, come back but much stronger."



He smiled wickedly, "So I take it you want to keep it on?"



She nodded, "I do."



He shrugged, "I still feel something for you. Even with the bracelet on. I know which room you're in and where you are exactly. I can sense you no matter where I am. I can smell you in the air around me. You smell sweet. It's why I'm here. I want to talk to you about something. I've been meaning to talk to you for a while but…"



"I need to get you a cure. It'll go away. Sam we can't do this. I'm seeing someone. You only feel that way about me because of the way I am and…"



He smiled and interrupted her, "No Hanna, it only works on me when you're really…"



She argued cutting him off again, "No, you being Nephilim makes me feel that things about you too. It's not real. It's what we are that's making us feel this way. I'm seeing someone so we can't."



"The old guy?" He looked defeated for a moment.



She laughed, Marcus looked twenty-five tops even though he was crazy old. She nodded.



"I'm pretty sure he's too old for you. Besides isn’t what he is making you want him?"



She nodded, he was right, "I need space from everyone of you."



He got up off the chair slowly. He walked to her bedside and knelt on the floor in front of her. He was a big boy, kneeling he was still taller than her sitting on the bed.



His lips parted in a seductive grin. She wanted to look away from his lips. She wanted to move away from him but the smell of him was intoxicating. He was by far the worst as far as her little problem was concerned. Even Marcus couldn’t make her breath get lost in her throat the way he did.



He leaned in looking into her eyes. She got lost in the darkness of them. She watched as he took a deep inhale of the air around her. She felt the betrayal in her mind but her body was pushing ahead.



He brushed his lips against hers. The electrifying kiss was exactly as she remembered it being, perfect.



He pulled back laughing, "You are going to be a problem Hanna Hyde. We can talk later."



He was gone instantly.



She felt sadness fill her as she realized what she'd nearly done mixed with her heart aching for him to come back. She would have had sex with him in a heartbeat if he'd tried. The bracelet looked like it would ignite any second.



She thought about what Roland said. Her mother's power was gone the moment she fell in love, true love. True loves kiss and a declaration. She wondered if she loved Marcus or if his powers made her feel things? She wondered the same about Sam. She didn’t want her heart full of different guys. She decided to take the time at the Roses to rid her heart of everything. As long as it was empty she might find clarity in her feelings.



She sighed looking out the window again.

The next morning training started, full throttle.



Lorri taught them about the possible types of things they would run into. They studied lore on creatures thought extinct and how to defeat them just in case they weren’t.



Hanna felt the days pass quickly. Her brain was more full than it had ever been. Giselle was the surprise student, she was a star at it all. Her combat skills came fast and furious and her natural interest in the knowledge part of it made it easy for her to remember.



Hanna on the other hand was distracted at every turn. Sam smiled at her and she stopped hearing everything Lorri spoke about. Aleks walked past her and she thought of nothing but the smell of him. Marcus texted her and she thought about him pulling her hair again.



She was getting exhausted with the dreams she had every night. The bracelet was a fiery glowing red. It glowed in the dark at night. Her thighs ached constantly.



The only saving grace was her bracelet stopped her from projecting her feelings and emotions onto everyone else in the room.



The ring was the easiest for her, one hit to the face and she became a psycho. Even Lucas and Ben tag teaming her, couldn’t bring her down.



Ari couldn’t move fast enough to knock her out. Hanna had shot Ari across the room, before she even had a chance at pushing her. The only threat that was real for her was Lorri. She had been able to get her down every time. Hanna learned to control her strengths and anger. She was surprised the monster side of her was easier to control than the Siren. The ring also stopped the sexual build up. When her thighs ached and she craved release, the beast unleashed inside of her. She released and exhausted herself.



She wondered about true love, she remembered snow white and the true loves kiss. Snow white had known instantly that the prince was her true love. Hanna wondered if she would ever meet hers if he even existed. The distance between her and Marcus had given her a lot of clarity. Her feelings for him resided almost solely in her thighs. She knew deep down she didn’t love him.



"Hanna in the ring."



She looked up from her daydream to Lorri smirking at her. Hanna stood up making sure her hands were taped up properly. She climbed up over the railings and dropped into the huge wrestling pit they called the ring.



"Lucas and Ari you guys inside."



Hanna gulped, she hadn’t ever gone against a couple before. She knew they would feel territorial and protective of their lover. She glanced up at Sam, he was sitting on the edge of his seat. He looked upset.



She looked back at her opponents and prepared herself.



Lucas jumped down making the mat shake slightly. He was huge. Ari was small and thin. She was never to be underestimated. Her hands were deadly and she moved with speed and strength.



Hanna knew it would take one hit to ignite her fury. She kept her back to the wall as Lucas rounded toward her.
