We managed to find our way back to the bed and breakfast. I scouted ahead for signs of life and had discovered a town nearby. Luckily, a man at a service station spoke English and was willing to give us a ride, which ended up being an hour-long drive.

Since none of us had our wallets or phones on us, we paid the man in smiles. I got the impression he was hoping to get more out of us scantily clad girls, so it served him right.

Sophie had passed out from exhaustion, and I watched Brody carry her to her bed before the rest of us returned to our own cabins. We immediately rushed to our showers, and I scrubbed myself clean while basking in the warm steam.

I drank over half of the blood supply Gavin had replenished the other day. “Thanks, sweetheart.”

Speaking of my absentee boyfriend, my phone flashed with a voicemail when I picked it up off the nightstand.

When I opened it, his deep voice growled at me. “You better call me back immediately, Ms. Masters. I don’t know what’s going on, but I just felt your fear from another country. If I don’t hear from you soon, I’m coming back for you. I’ll be in a meeting with the Keepers in ten minutes, and if I don’t hear from you by the time I’m done, I’ll hunt you down.”

I smiled. His bossiness brought out my feistiness.

I wondered why he’d be in a meeting at such a late hour, but then, the house members must have been operating on vampire hours to stay alert. A pang of sadness hit me for what they must be dealing with. My friends and I had just gone through that experience in Canada, and I didn’t wish it on anyone.

Dialing his number immediately, I replayed that message in my head, my combative nature gaining steam. It rang seven times before going to his voicemail, and once the beep sounded, I let him have it.

“Must you be so dramatic, Mr. West. I’m fine. Everything’s fine. And do you always have to sound so threatening? I get you threatening others who are trying to kill me, but you always seem to end on a threat directed toward me, like it’s automatically my fault someone is trying to kill me.”

I paused to consider that statement. Was it my fault? It almost sounded true to me. Damn.

“Don’t respond to that. The point is, there was a minor incident that’s been resolved for now, but I will say that another issue sort of sprang up that I need to address right away. Um, so I might be doing something reckless in the near future, but I’ll fill you in with more details later, okay? I love you. Bye.”

I ended the message and reflected on what I just admitted. Shit. I didn’t want him leaving before he solved any of their problems in Munich. I’d have to find a way to diffuse that bomb before he abandoned his duty.

Way to go, Lucy.
