“What do you think Giles will do?” Sprawled on top of Salem on a beach lounger, I propped my chin up on his chest, enjoying the feel of his fingers threading through my hair.

“If he’s got any sense, he’ll give Diane up. But my bet is that he’ll try to cover for her, worried he’ll lose the trust and loyalty of his nest if he gives up one of his own.”

“Then it’s a good thing that Sam and Jared have sent Sebastian to track her.” He was an expert tracker; the best The Hollow had.

“There’s no one that guy couldn’t find.”

“I called the infirmary earlier to ask Mary Jane how Rosa was doing. She’s getting better. Turns out, though, that a few more of the survivors came around.” I smiled wanly. “Despite Rosa’s assurances that they were safe, the newly awakened banded together and tried to escape. Can’t say I blame them for taking advantage of the fact that they were finally lucid. Thankfully, they calmed down once Mary Jane sent for Sam.”

“Did they have any useful info?”

I shook my head. “According to Mary Jane, their stories were the same as Rosa’s – even down to their Sires selling them. Sam and Jared are keeping them here for a while to be sure Diane can’t get to them. Plus, there’s a chance that the demons would track them down, hoping they know something. They’re safer here.”

“Do you think Max is right and there’s a leak at The Hollow?”

I cocked my head. “I’d like to think not. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I’d like to believe it’s not intentional; that someone’s not purposely betraying us.”

He slipped a hand under my t-shirt, smoothing it up and down my back. “Coach and Jared will probably ask Ryder to search the minds of every member of the legion.”

“The poor guy will be drained by the end of it. Why are you glaring at me?”

“Maybe it’s because you said ‘the poor guy’ in a soppy voice,” he grumbled, looking adorably petulant.

“You can’t seriously be jealous.”

His hand paused in caressing my back. “You called him pretty.” He spoke like I’d committed mass murder.

I had to smile. “Yeah? Well I prefer rugged, moody, and mentally unstable.”

“Mentally unstable?”

“Hey, I didn’t say it was bad. I like you just the way you are. Whether or not you continue to feel that way about me, we’ll soon find out.”

Salem’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “Who made you feel you’re not good enough exactly as you are?”

I blinked innocently. “No one.”

“Don’t bother bluffing, Sam already mentioned it.”

Damn Sam for blabbing. “Like I said, it’s not a big thing.”

“Then there’s no reason why you can’t tell me.”

Crap, I’d walked right into that one. “When I was a kid, I had a mild case of ADHD. People found it hard to cope with me.” I shrugged, like it was nothing. Apparently my blasé act hadn’t worked, because that seemed to piss him off even more.

“What ‘people’?” When I didn’t answer, he growled, “Ava.
