Chapter 40 . It's complicated

Kelly POV I stare at my little pale toes through the darkness as they brush the hardwood floors underneath me. Looking over my shoulder, I silently watch my mate as he rests, his chest rising and falling slowly. He looks so peaceful, and I envy him. Flipping the covers off of my lap, I stand up and silently walk to the door, trying not to let my feet make too much noise in the creaky house. My mind has been racing all night, and I've been tossing and turning trying to fall asleep, but just can't. My body won't let me rest, so I am up to get a drink to cool myself off. There are so many things going on, it's overwhelming at times to wrap my brain around it all. The influx of people in the house is intimidating to say the least, while I enjoy Stacey, Miranda, and Savannah's company, I still feel sick at the thought of vampires lurking in the building somewhere, like they could strike at any second.
