Chapter Twenty-Two

For some reason, throwing myself at Clayton, even though I’d had a damn good reason, embarrassed me more than my encounter with Angus.

Angus was…Angus. Women threw themselves at him all the time. He was used to it. He’d understand. He’d wait for it to invariably happen again and would likely wonder only why it’d taken me so long so notice his hotness.

I rolled my eyes even as I sat in the truck pretending not to watch him through the side mirror as he got dressed. Shifters always carried extra clothes with them.

His muscles bunched as he pulled a black t-shirt over his head, and when he’d smoothed it over his flat stomach, he paused to look my way. Smiling.

God.

He’d be even more insufferable than usual now.

I shivered and turned the heater fan down a notch. The sky was a lighter shade of black, and I dreaded going home to bed. No matter how exhausted I was, I would replay over and over and over every single moment that had occurred that night.

“Shane,” I murmured, regretfully.

The vehicle dipped when Angus climbed in under the wheel. “We’ll get it sorted out. Shane is well aware of the risks that come with hunting vampires.”

I shook my head. “I doubt he was aware of the risks of hunting vampires with me. And those two dead humans…”

“I’ll take care of it.” He reached over to squeeze my knee, and I jerked as the warmth traveled up my thigh. Perhaps he meant the squeeze to be comforting. It wasn’t. “Everything will be okay, Trinity.”

Finally, he put his hand on the steering wheel, where it belonged, and drove us away from Raeven’s Road.

I watched Shane’s truck grow smaller and smaller in the mirror, until finally, it disappeared. “What about his truck?”

“I’ll send someone for it,” he growled.

“Do you think Amias will heal him?” I asked, after we’d driven in silence for a few miles. “Or do you think he’ll turn him?” Either way, Shane would live. And either way, he would hate me.

“I don’t know,” Angus said.

“Shane will come after me.”

“No, he won’t.”

I turned my head to look at him. “He’s going to want to kill me.”

He didn’t take his stare off the road, but he smiled. It wasn’t a nice smile. “Trin, no matter how pissed he might be, he would never kill another hunter. Especially not a bloodhunter. Also, if he goes at you with the intent of doing you harm, I will stomp him into the ground.”

And it was only when I felt a certain amount of relief at his words that I realized how scared I was of Shane Copas.

Pathetic, but true.

“It’s said,” Angus went on, his voice rough and deep and steady, “that hunters are connected somehow. The way vampires are connected. Vampires can’t kill each other. They can’t kill themselves, either. Don’t worry about Copas.”

I said nothing.

“Even if you don’t trust me to take care of the situation,” he continued, “trust the fact that hunters have a connection. He won’t hurt you.
