CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Like a good girl, I go to my room. A childlike part of me wants to stomp my feet and slam the door, but I keep my steps light as I prowl down the hallway with Dexter scampering at my heels. We slip into my allocated bedroom. The door gently clicks shut, it needs a lock.

Not that a tiny basic lock will keep the angel out. I can only hope he has a modicum of decency left in his body and he leaves me alone.

I need some time to process. I feel a little heartsick.

“I apologise for grabbing you like that, Story,” I say as I place her gently down on the bed. “He freaked me out.”

“It’s fine. I’m fine.”

I slump down next to her, and Dexter joins us. I gently stroke his fur. “Okay, what can you tell me?”

“Your grandad’s toolbox is in there with all your clothing.” She points to the built-in wardrobes.

I nod with relief. That’s a good start.

“Everything else is in the bedroom next to us. He left all the big stuff in the garage, all the furniture including your bed.”

I wave away her worry. It doesn’t matter as long as my grandad’s stuff is safe… but how safe is it? Nothing will ever be safe again.

“Oh, Tru, I don’t understand that man. When you were unconscious, he carried you like you were made of precious glass. He was so reverent, gentle.” Story shakes her head and bounces across the bed as she waves her hands in the air.

Dexter follows her erratic movement, and his tail twitches. “Don’t even think about it,” I mouth. I poke him in his squidgy ginger belly with my finger. The not-fat cat rolls onto his back. All four legs stretch out. He lifts his chin and closes his eyes when I obediently stroke his spotted ginger tummy.

“For days he watched over you and he used his angel magic to help you. He saved your life. It was so romantic.” She turns and stomps back. “Then you wake up and he turns into a complete dick. I don’t understand it.”

“It’s ’cause he is a dick,” I grumble. “I told you what he did.”

“Nooo,” Story wails. “He was like a prince storming a castle to rescue you.” She dramatically swoons, falling back onto the bed. I watch as her body bounces. Story flips on her side and rests her head in her hand.

“He’s still a dick,” I say.

“He fought for you.”

“Nah, he fought for himself.”

Story groans and flops onto her back. I lie down next to her and turn my head in her direction. A claw pads my hand to keep on stroking.

“Look, he did all that before he knew what I was. I unintentionally made the angel look like an idiot in front of all the councils and the hunter’s guild. Put it this way: I think he would have preferred it if I’d carked it.

“A dead Tru is better than a hybrid Tru in that man’s eyes. He didn’t
