Chapter 14

A few days later, Maggie was still unable to figure out what these feelings for Christian meant. He still hadn’t gotten the results from her blood test yet, which was probably a good thing. They spoke to each other before Maggie’s classes, but by the time she got home, he was holed up in his study. She didn’t want to disturb him so she went about her business like normal. Sunday, she had a brunch date with her mom, but until then, she had no weekend plans and definitely didn’t want to hang around the house when there was a good chance she would be by herself.

If she was being honest, Christian’s backstory intrigued her and she wished she had the courage to ask him more about it. All she knew was what Barry had let slip in his office. His uncle killed Christian’s parents instead of turning them, but he turned Christian and the majority of his clan. No wonder Christian hated him. She wondered why he didn’t just leave his uncle. Was there something that bonded a vampire and that vampire’s Creator? Was there some kind of loyalty they couldn’t compromise, even if said transformation was forced?

She wasn’t sure how that worked. Most of her classes didn’t talk about what happened if someone was forced to turn. There were crim classes for that but none she had taken. She wanted to ask Christian about it but wasn’t sure if he’d be open to talking about it, or if maybe it was better to not bring it up at all. It was probably none of her business.

But there was someone she did know that might be able to help her.

She pulled out her cell phone one evening and called Danielle. Danielle answered on the third ring.

“Hello?” Danielle asked.

Maggie smirked. “I’m sorry, am I interrupting something?” she asked.

Danielle chuckled. “No, you weirdo,” she said, and though Maggie couldn’t see her, she knew Danielle was rolling her eyes. “I’m surprised you haven’t called earlier. It’s been a while since we went out to a vampire club.”

Maggie felt herself blush and shift uncomfortably at Danielle’s insinuation. “Yeah,” she murmured. “About that.”

“Let me guess,” Danielle said. “That’s not really you.”

“How did you know?” Maggie asked, relief flooding through her system.

“Come on, Mags,” Danielle said. “Just because you carry a Black Card doesn’t mean I ever saw you go home with a vampire before. How is the whole donor thing treating you, by the way? I’m sorry I haven’t asked before now.”

“Dani, you have your own stuff going on,” Maggie said, waving her hand even though Danielle couldn’t see it. “Do you know where your father is?”

“Not that I can say over the phone,” Danielle muttered.

“Anyway,” Maggie said. “Are you still dating your professor?”

“Yes, I’m still with my former professor,” Danielle said.

Maggie bit back a grin. “Could we arrange a meeting?” she asked. “I have questions about vampire things and I wanted to talk to an actual vampire.”

“Of course,” she said. “How are
