Chapter Fourteen

“Me?” Appalled, I wrestled the urge to throw another punch at him. My hand still throbbed. “You’re the one who’s been lying to him all along. This is all on you, Arrow.”

I didn’t realize how close my anger had brought me until Dash pushed his way in between us. His hand on my shoulder brought the sinking sensation of being pulled under water, unable to resurface. My instinctive reaction was to fight against the awful feeling. The force burst from me, needing no guidance. A bright white flame surrounded me in a protective glow. Dash recoiled, hissing like a pissed off cat.

“I’ll be watching you, Ember.” He emphasized my real name, ensuring I knew that he’d been gathering info on me. “An undecided can’t help another undecided. You’re just as fucked as he is.”

I didn’t give him a chance to continue his threat. Grabbing ahold of Jett’s arm, I dragged her along beside me as I rushed after Rowen. He wasn’t safe. Arrow had led Dash right to him, and though nothing had happened, yet, I knew that it would. It always did where demons were concerned.

The second band was starting their set when we got downstairs. The vibrant blue of Rowen’s hair caught my eye, and I waded through the crowd headed for the stage.

“You go ahead,” Jett said, pulling away. “I’ll keep an eye out for Arrow.”

The bass thundered in my ears as Sacred Stone gave it their all. It drove me on as I dodged bodies. I caught up to Rowen before he reached the table where Sam and Greyson sat chatting and laughing with a few groupies.

I grabbed his arm, demanding his attention. “Rowen, please. Hear me out.”

His fiery eyes blazed. Shoulders rigid and jaw tense, he looked fierce and tormented. “I don’t think this is really the right place for this, Spike. Can we talk about this later?”

“No, I need to say this now. I didn’t tell you about the picture because I didn’t want to start shit between you and Arrow. And I didn’t tell you so many other things because it’s not my place, it’s his. Please believe that I would never do anything to screw you over.” I had to shout to be heard over the music, but right then I barely noticed the band. All I could see was that skeptical look on Rowen’s face, and it was more than I could stand.

His expression softened. “I believe that, but I don’t know who I can trust right now. It’s starting to feel like my entire life has been a lie.”

I wanted to tell him that I understood, but I didn’t understand. My mother had never hidden the truth from me. Maybe Rowen’s mother wouldn’t have let him be raised in ignorance if she’d known it would lead to this, but it was too late for maybe.

“I’m sorry. It shouldn’t have been like this. You deserve to know the truth about everything. But only Arrow can give that to you.” I
