Kade’s gaze swept over me, but it no longer made me want to jump him. “Sorry,” he said. “I can come back in a minute.”

I sighed as calmness swept over me. Kade always had my back—even if his intentions weren’t very clear. “It’s fine. Come in.”

He scratched the back of his neck. “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” I held the door wide open for him.

Nervously, Kade made his way inside, and I shut the door behind him.

“What is it?” I asked.

He turned around to face me. “Uh, do you want to go get dressed first?”

I rolled my eyes again. “Give me a sec.” I disappeared into the walk-in closet and quickly pulled on a pair of shorts just long enough to cover my wound, then slipped on a tank before returning into the room. “Better?”

Kade sat on the couch and did a little bounce up and down. The guy really liked my couch. “Finn asked me to let you know that he’s gone to the hospital with them all and he’ll call you as soon as he has any information.”

I let out an exaggerated gasp. “Finn’s violating the code again? What will the Society think?”

Kade chuckled. “You really don’t agree with them, do you?”

I sat on the seat beside him and put my feet up on the coffee table in front of me. “Not when it concerns the safety of those I care about. I get that they’re all about the bigger picture, but would it really hurt to save a few extra innocent lives in the process? I didn’t even need to be the one to retrieve them.”

“Yeah, it probably would’ve turned out a little better if someone else had gone to collect your dad.”

He meant well, but it still pissed me off. Mostly because I was the one who’d endangered them with my stupid hallucinations of my dead mother. “My father wasn’t at home, so you guys wouldn’t have known where to find him. And lucky he wasn’t because there were a bunch of vamps who had torn our home apart. Which reminds me.” I twisted around to face him. “There was a vampire that wasn’t like the rest of them…” I trailed off as Kade’s gaze landed on my thigh. “I’m fine.” I tried to pull down my shorts to cover what was left of my wound, but they were riding up while I was sitting down.

“You should probably get that seen to.”

I raised a brow. “Thirty minutes ago, there was a hole almost right through my leg. Now there’s a pea-size gash, and you think I need someone else to fix me?”

He chuckled again then slouched back in the seat. “I keep forgetting you’re like one of them now.”

“I think you’re the only one.”

He rolled his head to the side. “They’re all still treating you like you’re their queen? It was pretty ridiculous having you sit up on stage at a table by yourself.”

“If I was queen, things would run a little differently around here. All I
