| The handsome stranger suddenly got very serious and glared at Alaina with those dark, predatory eyes. "You cannot tell anyone else about tonight. Any of it. You are bound under the same code of silence that any mortal who enters this club is. That is very important. Do you understand?" He said. "Yes." Alaina said. "You cannot even mention me." He said. "We keep these clubs a closely guarded secret from the outside world, and if you should say something to the wrong person, a hunter, then everything we have worked so hard to create here could be in jeapordized." "I understand." Alaina said. "You have my word." She understood better than anyone because of the nature of her own life and preternatural existence the importance of living a life of secrecy, "I will hold you to it." He said. "You should understand as well as anyone the importance of secrecy in these matters because of your unique situation. "I have a secret to uphold as well. Keep mine and I will keep yours." Alaina said. It seemed like a fair enough exchange to her. "Then its settled then. I will tell no one about you and I expect the same courtesy." He replied. |
