CHAPTER 12

William and Emily arrived at the graveyard. Not a very unique place to hide a body, but it would certainly blend in with the surroundings.

“Wait here,” advised William. He dashed off to make sure the graveyard was empty of late night visitors and scouted for the location of the mausoleum they needed to access. He appeared at Emily’s side just seconds later.

She let out a start. “It still amazes me to see you do that. Not that I can really see you do that… you know what I mean.”

William bowed his head, taking it as a compliment. “The graveyard is clear, and the mausoleum is this way.” He walked at normal human speed allowing Emily to walk alongside him.

“William, can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“I’m assuming you’ve figured out at this point that Melinda is dating someone and that someone is Riley Deane?”

“Yes.” His voice dropped. “I have gathered as much.”

“I think that’s why she’s been so upset. I knew she was dating someone. I feel terrible I didn’t tell anyone, but she asked me not to. And I thought it was all going great anyway. I should have known it was guy trouble. But I would have never guessed it was this type of guy trouble.”

“Nor I. And knowing Melinda, she’s overwrought with guilt.”

“The type of guilt she should be asking forgiveness for?” asked Emily apprehensively. “It’s clear what you all think of the Deanes... you especially,” she added cautiously.

William stopped. His gaze intense.

“My actions were…” he shook his head, unsure what to say. When he’d found a man, this Riley, with Melinda, and smelled his blood, marking him as a Deane, his normally controlled defenses had shattered yet again. His emotions raging out of him like a pathetic lovesick schoolboy. One with super strength, a set of fangs and a hunger to suck something, anything, dry.

The thought of a Deane so close to her… touching her… defiling her… he let the picture ravaging his mind go with a low rumble in his chest.

“Melinda did nothing wrong. I do have a sneaking suspicion she was not aware, and once she discovered he was a Deane…”

“That’s when she locked herself in her room,” finished Emily, putting together the final piece of the puzzle. “Poor Melinda. It’s so hard for her to put herself out there. And she gave it a try and look what happened. I wish there was a way to make it easier for her to tell people how she feels. To not be so afraid. It’s like she thinks everyone is just going to hate her, or abandon her if she makes a mistake.”

William’s thoughts stalled for a moment. It’s what he had just done. He hadn’t known what to say to her. How to act. So he’d just ignored her. I’m not angry with her, so why did I do that?

William knew Melinda feared abandonment, she had ever since her parent’s deaths. She used to talk to me, his thoughts droned. But she doesn’t any longer.
