Julianne lay on her bed, curled in on herself shaking with a fire, a need, she barely understood. And a terror she understood all too well.

“Zeeland,” she whispered, her heart breaking. So close. After all these years of waiting, he’d finally come back. He’d finally been prepared to make love to her.

Now he never would.

She couldn’t let him try again. She’d felt a pinch of pain when his finger first breached her, but it had been followed at once by a rush of pleasure so intense, she’d felt her control vaporize. Tiny, warm bubbles had begun to replace the blood in her veins. If she’d let him continue, she’d have turned to mist, just like Melisande.

She’d have given herself away, signing his death warrant and probably her own. And she’d have had to watch as the passion and tenderness in his expression changed to shock and revulsion.

But, sweet heaven, he’d thought he’d hurt her. She’d seen the look on his face, that look of horror, and for a moment she’d feared she’d already lost form. But then she’d realized she was still firmly corporeal and known his horror was all for himself. His words had confirmed it. I would never hurt you. Yet he thought he had and hated himself for it.

She knew her Zee.

Julianne rose and went to the door, hesitating as she reached for the handle. What if he was still out there? What would she say to ease his guilt? What could she say without telling him the truth?

Nothing. There was nothing she could tell him.

But maybe there was another way to ease his suffering. She knew the Ilinas were able to do more than turn to mist. There was another ability Ilinas possessed, a trick Melisande had pulled on her more than once.

If she could turn to mist, perhaps she could do this, too.

If it worked, she might be able to make things right with Zeeland, in a way. She might be able to ease his terrible guilt.

Her miserable Ilina blood had to be good for something.
