.

Kuran Kaname was not a patient person by nature- no, he craved immediate gratification more than most in all honesty. It was only when he had seen plans pay off rather well as a child that he had ever learned even a modicum of patience.

But the childhood he referred to was thousands of year gone by now.

He had done everything right according to his greatest plan thus far- to save his beloved Yuki at any cost.

Even at the expense of his destined soulmate- a soulmate he had loathed from the moment he had met him.

Kiryu Zero was not someone Kaname would allow himself to cherish- no, the hunter was beneath him in almost every way that mattered.

Really the only thing that could ever signal the ex-hunter as Kaname's soulmate was his inability to be snared by the pureblood's compulsion.

Kaname would never allow the hunter to know of his supposed pre-ordained import to the pureblood prince- he would never allow anyone to know of the ex-hunters true relation to him.

Luckily, as soon as Kiryu fulfilled his role as Yuki's Knight he could leave the silver haired level-D behind to his no doubt miserable end- or at least so he had thought.

But Kiryu had taken ill three weeks ago, leaving Kaname's planning in shambles for the time being.

He had even snuck into the male's clinic room to feed him some of his blood- the male hadn't even fought it, too weak to even notice Kaname's presence within the room.

In the days following his admittance to the clinic Cross and Yuki had barely left his side, Yagari himself only departing on mission and scheduled nightly classes.

But they had each began to take care of their own lives slowly, Cross moving to take care of the Academy as was his job and Yuki wheedling her friend Yori into the missing prefect's role, virtually replacing her adoptive brother.

All the while Kiryu was left alone in the clinic, or at least so it had been until Seiren updated him of a new guest to the clinic- a new Day Class student- a female hunter, he'd been informed.

Morita Lirona.

He had set Seiren to researching her ties to Kiryu at the beginning of the week and it had soon became apparent that she was more than just a friend to the ex-hunter.

No, apparently she was his betrothed.

His window creaked under the pressure of his telekinesis at the mere mention of it.

His beast demanded he kill the female- but he couldn't afford to be messy.

Not only would it destroy the fragile peace between Vampire Society and the Hunter's Association, but it would bring light upon his connection to the hunter.

Why should he care that they were betrothed from birth to one another?

The hunter was headed for a terrible end either by his own gun or the hands of another hunter when he descended to an E after Kaname took Yuki away from the school and abandoned him to his unending hunger.

He was not jealous, or at least that's what he told himself.

He forced himself to relax his hold on the pen he gripped, dropping it down onto his mahogany desk in his office.

Seiren had slipped within while he was caught up in his thoughts and he waved her closer upon noticing her presence.

"Kaname-sama," She bowed, "I have come with my findings on the Morita heiress."

He waved her on.

"She was born approximately ten days after the Kiryu twins and it appears as though both the Kiryu's and the Morita's were already allied since they had been commonly teamed up with one another on larger assignments.

"Kiryu Zero was betrothed to her officially in the spring of their fifth years, and they were trained together sporadically over the years up until the Kiryu family's attack.

"Since that time, their interactions have been severely limited outside of a few letters each year between the two."

"What is her background?" He inquired.

"She was trained by several unnamed hunters in her file- most of them for unlisted reasons. She specializes in what hunter's call 'baiting', commonly using herself as bait to lure in her prey. She was separated from the main body of hunting society at the onset of puberty however and has had limited interactions with other hunters for the past several years. It says in her file that her parents were considering departing the Hunters in favor of opening their own private service..."

Seiren trailed off before handing him a file on the girl.

He flipped it open and skimmed the contents before zeroing in on the photograph provided of her.

His beast rattled its cages in jealousy.

He had yet to see the girl in person, but she was exceptionally attractive for a human- easily on level with the female purebloods he had interacted with himself.

But she was no vampire- her skin glowed with life and her eyes sparkled with humor in that way that mortal men seemed to find attractive.

Like she knew a grand joke and was just itching to tell it.

Full, auburn colored curls framed a heart shaped face that was made up of delicate features.

A full pout contorted into a clever smirk, large cat-shaped hazel blue eyes, and fresh unmarred skin.

Why couldn't she be ugly?

Kaname ground his teeth at the thought- he was above such thoughts, surely!

He forced himself to relax after a moment and dismissed Seiren with barely a glance.

Why did he suddenly care that Kiryu was not securely his when he glanced at her?

Kiryu would never know of their connection- only born vampires could detect their soulmates after all.

Kaname had been utterly shocked when he discovered that the pre-teen that attacked him was his supposed mate- Kiryu had worn all of Kaname's favorite scents, drawing the pureblood to the younger male.

No one had ever smelled so alluring to him- not even Yuki.

But he had promised Yuki that they would one day marry, and he had reaffirmed that promise every time he caught her falling over herself in his presence, her eyes full with barely concealed affection for him.

He had known he didn't deserve it- he had stolen her real brother from her after all- but still he craved it.

He craved it so much that he was willing to tear apart his supposed mate so he had no competition for her affections.

But he hadn't because he'd known for years that to do that would crush her.

No, they had to be allowed to part on their own.

Then and only then would Kiryu be allowed to die.

No, he reminded himself, even I can not fully control the ways of life and death.

He could not control it even as it stood now- even as Kiryu seemed dead set on dying in the clinic of unknown causes.

He glanced down at the photo of Morita Lirona and narrowed his eyes.

He loathed how his monster wanted to rips her to tattered ribbons- how he wanted to bathe in the blood of a girl who was stealing his mate from him- a mate he didn't even want, or at least that's what he told himself.

And as much as he hated to think it- he couldn't bear to lose his inadvertent mate to some hunter brat.

No, not me- my beast.

Kaname refused to ever care for Kiryu- not in a million years- not ever.

My beast may crave Kiryu- but I never will.
