CHAPTER 28

Sitting with his back against the living room wall, Nathan roused from his brief nap when Vicky shifted in his arms and nestled against his chest. Her hair tickled his nose, but he didn’t push it away; he wanted every sensation he could get from her right now. He could have lost her today.

He held her closer as anger and terror battled within him over the realization. As an immortal, purebred vampire, she was more powerful than he was and less vulnerable to death, yet he had to protect her. When she murmured something before settling into sleep again, he nuzzled her silken hair.

From across the way, headlights bounced up and down as they splashed through the kitchen windows. Lifting his head, he watched as the approaching lights stopped. The glow remained focused on the windows as car doors opened.

He tried to extricate himself from Vicky without waking her, but she stirred when he moved. “They’re here,” he said as he kissed the top of her head.

She lifted her hand to cover her yawn.

“Are you healed?” he asked as he rose and clasped her hand.

“Getting there.”

“Good.”

Keeping her hand in his, he strolled over to the door and pulled it open. Before he could step outside, Vicky tugged her hand away from him. She didn’t know what he planned to tell them about her being here, but she’d prefer if they didn’t think he was her mate, and strolling outside holding his hand would give her away. She couldn’t stand it if they pitied her, and she feared they would if they learned about her doomed relationship.

Nathan strode over to where Ronan stood beside one of the SUVs. He’d positioned himself so he was in front of Kadence and had her pinned against the vehicle. Asher stood next to the other SUV, his eyebrows in his hairline as he gawked at the vamps, then Nathan, and back again. Kadence tried to push past Ronan when she spotted Nathan, but the vampire didn’t move.

Nathan had debated telling Asher to bring Logan too, but he didn’t know how Logan would react to seeing Kadence again, and Ronan had warned him to keep Logan away from her. If Logan said or did anything Ronan didn’t approve of, the vampire would kill him without regret.

“What is going on here?” Ronan demanded.

“That’s what I’d like to know,” Asher said.

Nathan turned back to where Vicky remained half hidden in the shadows of the house. Slipping outside, she threw her shoulders back as she sauntered toward them, faking an indifference she didn’t feel.

“Vicky?” Kadence blurted.

“Holy shit,” Asher muttered.

“What is going on here?” Lucien demanded. “And what happened to your face?”

Killean remained blank faced as he leaned against the vehicle while Declan unwrapped a lollipop and slid it into his mouth. Vicky stopped a few feet behind Nathan.

“What happened to you?” Ronan demanded of her.

“I’m fine,” she said.

“Did he do that?” Lucien asked and thrust a finger at Nathan.

“Of course not,” Nathan growled.

Lucien’s eyes sharpened on him. “Are
