I spend the rest of the morning getting ready and making migas in my kitchen. Someone had come in while I’d been showering and left a few bags of groceries.

I lay out the contents from the reusable bags—ha, these vampires are green, go figure—and take inventory. Essentials for coffee, a new small coffee maker, eggs, chorizo, tortilla chips, salsa, bread, butter, a bottle of hazelnut creamer, chocolate chip cookie dough, a tub of my favorite ice cream, and a bottle of wine.

Eyeing the liquor while I butter my toast, I wonder if Grayson feels bad about dinner last night and is trying to make up for it. I use my foot to scoot out one of the barstools and sit at the bar. I’m only two bites into my breakfast when Colt waltzes into my apartment with a serious look on his face. He looks over the mess on the counter, at my plate, and then meets my gaze.

“I was coming to take you to breakfast.”

Raising a brow and saluting him with my fork, I say, “All taken care of there, little buddy.”

He scowls at the nickname. “Evelyn’s upset. I’m assuming you had something to do with that.”

I take a bite of my eggs, watching him as I chew. I wash the food down with coffee. “She needs to find another human to give a makeover; I’m not really in the mood to play Barbies.”

“Evelyn’s nice.” He crosses his arms over his chest, his fancy suit sleeves straining against his bulging muscles.

How does he fit those arms in the jacket?

“Maybe she is, I still don’t want to be her new project.”

Colt frowns. “She’d be a good ally.”

I lift an eyebrow. “Now I need allies?”

Uncrossing his arms, Colt takes a step toward me. “You’ll need more than yourself if you’re going to survive here. This isn’t some college frat. Blood Mafia is home to the most ruthless of vampires, and while you may feel some false sense of security because Mateo wants you alive—for now—not everyone is going to play nice.”

I finish my next bite of migas and take a bite of toast. Colt has a point. Now that I’m here, I should be trying to find friends and people to trust. The problem is I don’t think I’ll ever trust any of them because at the end of the day, they all planned to watch me die.

“I’ll apologize to Evelyn, Colt. You don’t need to lecture me on the perils of living with the Blood Mafia. I think I fully understand how dangerous my life is right now.”

He rubs the scar which slashes down the middle of his eyebrow, drawing my attention to the imperfection. My eyes float to the scar on his neck. Grayson had said Colt was just as stubborn as I am, do the scars have something to do with it?

Colt surprises me by walking into the kitchen and putting away the groceries I didn’t get to yet. I eat my migas and toast, watching him with narrowed eyes.
