After Andy got out of the shower and got dressed, he told Hope he had to go talk to CC. He made sure she was comfortable before he left. He hated the thought of leaving her alone but he had promised CC he would explain everything when he got back.

CC answered the door before he even knocked. "Where have you been, dude?" He asked stepping aside to let him in. The others were there too. He had hoped it would just be CC, but he guessed he would have to tell the others sooner or later. They would all be meeting her later anyway.

"I was with my mate."

They all set staring for a second. Clearly they thought he had lost his mind. He slowly tried to explain how Hope had voluntarily given him her blood. He also told them she was a sensitive. He left out the part about her being a virgin. He didn't think they needed to know that part.
"She's kind of self-concious so be nice when you meet her later."

CC was the first to speak. "And you're sure she's your mate?"
"Yes, of course. I wouldn't have marked her if I wasn't."
"Then I'm happy for you, man. Congratulations!
"Welcome to the club." Jinxx said. He always had his own way with words.
"Wait, you're saying she willingly gave you her blood? What kind of human does that?" Ashley asked with disbelief written all over his face.
Andy sighed and rolled his eyes. " For the last time, Ashley, yes. Are you seriously that slow?"
"I'm sorry. It's just, not even Sammi and Ella were that accepting. It took seven months for Sammi to even let Jinxx mark her."
"She's probably more accepting because she's a sensitive. She already had a suspition our kind existed so it wasn't as hard for her to accept." Jinxx said wisely.
"I need to get back, guys. I'll see you at rehearsal," Andy said, standing.
"Later." They said.

All in all they took it pretty well. They promised to behave when they met her. Jake even offered to bring Ella so she could meet her too.

When he got back Hope was watching t.v. "Hey" She said as soon as he walked in the door. The way she looked sitting in the middle of his bed was giving him ideas on how they could pass the time until rehearsal later.

He crossed the the room to her, "Hey, yourself." He said as he bent and kissed her passionatly. He pushed her gently back onto the bed. She melted against him and he felt his fangs slide down.
"Are you hungry? Your fangs are out."
"It's not your blood I want this time, my dear. He replied slyly.
