Recollect

When Mace woke up confused, she looked at Jake's sleeping face.

Instinctively she held her breath. Did I kill him? But there was no blood and she could hear his regular heartbeat. She breathed out in relief, but slowly so as not to wake him.

He had held her in his arms all night. After he carried her out of the shower and put her to bed, he took off his wet clothes and simply lay down next to her. Jake had held out his arm and without hesitation, she had snuggled into him until she fell asleep.

But Mace's sleep had been restless, full of blood, images of her family, and the taste of iron in her mouth. She had never felt a real bond with Sabine, but despite everything she had been her mother. And Mace had watched her die. How they all almost died.

Jake breathed calmly and evenly next to her. She had never seen him sleep before. He seemed incredibly peaceful as if nothing had happened. As if he hadn't witnessed her killing these Mares. Or that she almost attacked him too.

She had already noticed how long and thick his eyelashes were. His brown hair fell over his forehead and onto the pillow. She wanted to sink her hands into them and mess them up even more than they already were.

But it wasn't just that Jake was physically attracting her. Mace had had to admit to herself a while ago that there was more to it. If it were purely sexual attractiveness, then they could both have gotten involved and had fun and then gone their separate ways. But she didn't want to leave at all. Mace wanted to stay close to him, and she also wanted him to stay with her. When he was there she felt better. It wasn't about him protecting her. The past day had shown them that they could protect each other well.

It was simply his presence. Jake made her laugh and had no trouble drying her tears too. He trusted her to defend herself but was at her side when she needed support. What's more, he was well-read, exuded charm, and always seemed to notice when he had to remain serious.

“Do you like what you see?” Jake raised an eyebrow and looked at her wearily. But there was a sparkle in his eyes. “I could feel you watching me.”

"Sorry."

“You don’t have to apologize for that.” He reached for her hand under the covers. "How are you doing?"

"I don't know." Mace took a deep breath. “Jake, what’s happening to me here?”

“I don’t have an answer to that,” he admitted. “Somehow you’ve transformed. Although that's actually impossible." Jake frowned. “If nightmares can really reproduce that easily, we have a big problem. Then just one bite is enough.”

"Without having to drink the Mare's blood," Mace agreed quietly. “When I did that, I already had teeth. But he said he didn't want to change me." Now she no longer felt frightened when she thought about it. But what did that make her?

“However, your blood smells no different.
