Chapter 13
“We did.” Javis flopped into the closest metal chair. “Problem arose.”
“Major one.” Alexander leapt onto the top of the table.
“Fill me in.”
Javis shared a glance with Alexander before he gave a tilt of his head. “I’m sure you heard about Heart Owners.”
“Yeah . . . they are like soul mates to your kind. Right?”
“More than that. They can destroy our lives if things go awry.”
“What do you mean?” Mateo propped himself agains the back of the door. “And what does this have to do with us speaking to Chavos?”
“Let’s just say that if Mr. Chavos hatred his rejecting your Commander and Chief then he will no longer be your Commander and Chief. Or be able to be one in a month or two.”
Mateo’s mouth dropped open and he looked over his shoulder, groaning. “You are saying . . . Are you sure? How can you tell?”
“There are signs when we run across the one that completes our heart and he owns mine.”
“Maybe you are wrong. Possible right? You never went inside the room.”
“What I said, but it does not take them being in person. It is best if they don’t see each other face-to-face. He can avoid having his life destroyed as long as they don’t.”
Mateo stared at Alexander for several moments as Javis sat there debating what path he had to take. He’d have to reach out to his Mother. Again. She’d be thrilled he found his Heart Owner. Pissed that it was someone who despised Vampires. Hell bent on her son avoiding him at all cost since there was no sure fire proof that he would not kick him to the curb. Dracula would agree with her, because he had him set on a laid out plan. Far as Dracula was concerned nothing could detour Javis from completing his assignment. Even Alexander had stopped him from going into the room with his Heart Owner. He had not asked him what he desired. He’d just dragged him away from him.
“Why did you stop me?”
Kind of rude for me to interrupt Alexander explaining the full concept and details of a Heart Owner to Mateo, but . . .
“I do not wish your life to be destroyed.”
“How do we know he will do so?”
“We don’t, but it is best to have a plan than charge in there and risk your entire life. Mine is hard enough. I do not wish that on anyone.”
Javis knew Alexander’s life had been horrific since his Heart Owner died. Least he had not lost his life in any concept with the death of his. Just intense heart ache and hardship in continuing his life on his own. Hard enough situation. Guess he would know a bit of what lay ahead of him if anyone did. Not the full extent, but a tiny amount would be more than enough to stop a friend from suffering even that. Right?
“You did not stop me because you want me to continue with my path of life?” Javis knew Alexander would get what he meant.
“No. I want you to think what lays ahead of you. The risk. The benefits. What is the best method to approach him. Is there any other options to speak with him without being in the same room until he has a better emotional stance about Vampires. One that is not so deadly to my best friend.”
“Do you think we can change his mind?”
“If anyone can . . . You can.” Alexander nudged my hip with his foot. “You are the best at convincing people to see the best of anyone. You have talked me from the ledge many times over these long years. If you can do that then . . . should be a piece of cake to convince the one who is going to have a natural attraction to you to shift his stance about Vampires.”
Alexander had a point. Javis’ skill of persuasion is what had earned him many votes when he was down in points during the race for Presidency. It hadn’t been easy, but he’d done it. On his own. He’d refused to let anyone else aid him. Not even Julian or Elijah and his crew of political sidekicks.
“Sir,” Mateo crossed his arms, “what does face-to-face consist of?”
“What do you mean?” Alexander answered before Javis could.
“Does it mean in the same room only, or would a teleconference be considered face-to-face as well?”
