Chapter 32

I woke up with a gasp, eyes wide and my body drenched in sweat. Claire snored softly beside me, curled up on half of the bed, oblivious to my sudden movement. She slept like the dead before she was a shifter, but now was even worse.

I rushed to the bathroom, frantically staring into the mirror. My eyes were fine. No marks on my face from Nate’s grip. No silver tears on my cheeks.

But my body tingled with electric fire, every brush of fabric like sandpaper on my inflamed skin. Especially my lady bits.

I took a very cold shower, sitting on the floor, rocking back and forth as I tried to steady my breathing, to take stock of everything I could remember about the odd dream, not wanting to forget a single moment for multiple reasons.

Was someone messing with me? It had been like a vision. But those had only ever happened to me when I confronted an Angel or Demon, where I would find myself suddenly transported to a different plane of existence.

Had it been a warning of some kind? Was Nate in danger? Was he still off in Fae? I’d call him later, not to tell him about the dream – thank you very much – but to see if anything important had happened to him lately.

With his level of arrogance, I wasn’t about to admit to a dream like that. It would make me look desperate, weak. Like some floozy. He had a big enough head already.

With absolutely no chance of falling back asleep, I threw on some workout clothes, and while Claire continued snoring in my bed, I made a Gateway to a place I wasn’t welcome.

I stepped into the familiar training room where I had spent much of my formative years, learning the art of blades, blood, and magic.

Church.

Where I had trained to become a reluctant Shepherd for the Vatican. It had been the only way Roland would agree to teach me about my magic. Of course, as a child I had thought it the coolest thing ever – learning how to use weapons and self-defense like I was the next Karate Kid. I hadn’t known about the Shepherd thing. I had known about monsters, unfortunately, and that I had magic, but I hadn’t known how to use it.

Or why I had magic in the first place.

Because I had been adopted. Left on the steps of Abundant Angel Catholic Church. The same church that Roland would coincidentally choose to make his home more than ten years later. Shepherds were typically vagabonds, traveling the world from one crisis to another, hunting down those who hunted down the innocent. They didn’t put down roots in places, but my presence had convinced him to stay.

Of course, Roland had been put in an impossible situation recently. In order to save two women he called friends, he had been forced to become a vampire. And since Shepherds hunted vampires, shifters, and other monsters, Roland had also been forced to relinquish his duty as a Shepherd.
