"I don't believe you" I said to my dad, sadly "I have a feeling we're underestimating the vampires. I don't know anything at all about angels. But I just have a horrible feeling about the vampires" I tell him, looking down at my coffee and trying to find comfort in the aroma it gave off, but not even that beautiful smell could ease my anxiety. He visibly stiffened, and that made me feel even worse.

"I believe you" he said, grabbing my hand before continuing "one of your gifts is intuition. We will take their threat seriously"

"How do you know that?" I ask him, I knew he had the last 20 years to prepare for this, but my mom said nothing was known of my powers

"I resummoned Deumos a couple years ago. After years of researching myself, and the elders, to no avail, I swallowed my pride. It seems she has her own agenda, that or she's just bored, because she fully prepared me for everything you would be. I did considerable research on the tribrid, the elders did as well, and we got nothing." he says

"And?" I say, expectantly, holding on to everything he said. I had no choice but to master this, if the angels were after me on top of the vampires, then I had no choice. I felt a flicker of encouragement and approval from Tamisra, and I let her feel my fear.

"And we need to get you training and up to par with your powers as soon as possible. You have a lot to learn, and your power is...extreme. It rivals mine and Aylin's. And it will rival even Jeremiel's and the other angels. You weren't made to falter, Amara, you will always prevail. But I will help you get there, as will your family, and I hope your mate too. He's the most powerful demon on this Earth, surpassing even his ancestors. It's no mystery why you're mated to him." he says with so much absolution, I have no choice but to believe him

"I've never seen much of the power he wields. We did small things in the last week, but nothing that showed me his or my own full power. He seems to hold it back, more than he's willing to use it" I say, it's not that I doubt Roman is strong, but if you have that much power at your disposal, why not use it?

"He's more powerful than he's willing to admit, even to his mate it seems. Maybe even himself. You will see it eventually. He hasn't had to use it yet, but I'll make sure to force it out of him when he comes to the underworld with us" he says with a gleam in his eye and cracks his knuckles. I glare at him

"He is my mate, and he is a good male, a good mate. Don't terrorize him for no reason" I say, the fire clear in my words. Father or not, my mate was the other half of my soul. I will defend him at all costs.

"It's not for no reason, he needs to embrace those powers. Maybe he's had no reason to use the magic at his disposal, but his reluctance is a weakness. And you're hunted, I will not allow him to let his pride get in the way of protecting you." he says firmly. I scoff at him

"I don't need protection. I can handle myself."

"When you learn the potential of your powers, yes. But right now, you stand little chance at defeating an army of vampires or a single angel, let alone what will come for you when Jeremiel realizes you're alive. I can see you're headstrong, you wouldn't be mine or your mother's daughter if you weren't. But you have weaknesses, and until you learn to wield your powers, those weaknesses will be your downfall, Amara. This is your first lesson, do not let foolish pride alter the reality of your situation. You are hunted. The vampire king isn't much younger than I, and Jeremiel, he is at least 3500 years old. Your rising is not a secret, your prophecy is known amongst all species, and when they realize what you are, when Jeremiel realizes you're the tribrid, you will have many enemies. They will all be ones you deal with easily, but not until you learn how to handle the powers you possess. You are not weak, but this pride you're showing me now is. I saw you spar today, and don't get me wrong, it was impressive for how little training you've had, but it will not help you last against vampires or an angel." he says to me, anger lacing his words. I glare at him, maybe he's right, but he doesn't need to know that. I go to give him a rebuttal but Tamisra interrupts me
