Arabella

“Lass! Lass, are ye there?”

I blinked at the sound of Brodie’s concerned voice, then jumped. Sitting next to him was the redheaded Sentinel—the one who’d been standing next to our booth just a second ago…

“Shit,” I groaned, pressing a hand to my temple. “I had another seizure, didn’t I?”

“Does that happen a lot?” the woman demanded, leaning forward. She had intense blue eyes, the color of the Caribbean Sea, and sharply elegant features. Her full mouth was pressed into a thin line as she studied me with a laser-like gaze, and I felt a strong urge to squirm in my seat like a naughty child. “What the hell has happened to you, Bells? Why are you looking at me like you don’t know me?”

“Because she doesna know you,” Brodie said tersely, his own features set into rigid lines of disapproval. I noticed for the first time that his broad shoulders were smashed up against the side of the booth, as if he couldn’t sit far enough away from the woman. “And I dinnae either, so an introduction would be nice.”

The redhead shot him a withering look. “My name is Jax Brennan, and I’m Arabella’s best friend. Who are you?”

“Brodie MacTaggert, Druid extraordinaire and the lass’s protector.” His brilliant eyes narrowed. “And ye’ll excuse me if I dinnae take yer word that yer her best friend.”

“Whoa, whoa.” I held up one hand, then used the other to pinch the bridge of my nose—my head was starting to hurt. “Let’s slow down a minute here. How do you know me?”

“We were partners, Belle.” Those intense blue eyes filled with worry as they returned to my face. “We trained at the academy together, and we were partnered up the moment we were assigned to the LA Watchtower. We were wing mates for seven years, Arabella. How could you forget that?” A hurt look crossed her face, and my insides twisted with guilt.

“I’m sorry.” I shook my head, as if that might help dislodge the memories that seemed to be hiding from me. “I don’t remember anything about my life as a Sentinel. I didn’t even know that I was one until a few days ago.”

“How could you not know?” she demanded, her gaze switching to my chest. The edges of my angel wings peeked out from beneath the neckline of my blouse, and I resisted the urge to cover it. It wasn’t an unsightly birthmark now—it was a badge of honor. Or so I figured, anyway. “You have your brand, which means you have your powers. Why would you think you were anything other than a Sentinel?”

“I don’t know.” I growled, frustration simmering in my veins. For Christ’s sake, I’d only just gotten my powers back the other night! “And I’d really like it if you could stop looking at me as if I just killed your cat or something. This isn’t my fault.”

“Sorry.” To her credit, Jax looked contrite. “It’s just… you’re supposed to be dead. We buried you. And we were tight, you and me, so I don’t understand why you wouldn’t have told me you were alive.
