Chapter Eighteen

Luna

When Benjamin left, I popped a pain pill and tried not to think about the hot make-out session or the way he was looking at me before he left.

Like he wanted to stay but had to go.

The attraction between us was this living, breathing thing—it terrified me. Everyone I loved died—why would this eventually be any different? And yet I couldn’t seem to pull away. My brain constantly justified why my body needed him, and I was tortured with images of us tangled in my sheets, sweaty mouths and bodies in sync.

Being marked by him would be the sweetest torture.

Which meant I needed a distraction that wasn’t my broken arm.

I checked my cell and had only one call from the sheriff stating that they still had no leads but to stay close if they needed to interview me again in the next few days. I don’t know why, but I kept it to myself that my mom had left all that money, almost like she knew what she was doing the whole time, but she would never abandon me, so what had she been thinking? When my thoughts went morose, I often wondered if she dropped me off there because she’d finally lost it, knew her days were limited and wanted a familiar place that made me happy? I still had the house back home, but for now, I couldn’t do anything with it until I knew where mom was or what was going on.

Sighing, I read more of the book and was so immersed in all the different spells that, as silly as it sounded, I wanted to try some. There was a protection spell, one that created ice out of thin air, and a love spell that involved someone’s hair which kind of freaked me out. Then again, everything that was happening around me was freaky, including my new tattoos that clearly weren’t part of some big prank. I kept telling myself if I ignored it, it didn’t exist, but they were hard not to stare at. I hadn’t had a nervous breakdown yet, and I wasn’t about to. I was finally getting answers to all my questions growing up. So even though I was petrified, I was going to learn about the darkness that followed me and the reason my mom went crazy, only to disappear and leave me here, like this, in a strange town that felt like home, yet not.

My eyes were heavy by the time I got ready for bed, and this time instead of setting my alarm clock, I set my cell alarm and stared at the clock, wondering if I should try to touch it again as a semi-experiment or just get some sleep.

Hath said it wasn’t broken.

And my dreams had been… interesting.

Two times I’d been with him, once with Aengus.

And my body burned.

My fingers shook with longing to touch Benjamin.

“Screw it.” I touched the alarm, expecting… well, I don’t know, some freakiness, for the numbers to start going crazy, for the room to spin, but nothing happened.
