Chapter 14

Sarma rang Gunita through the computer again but she didn’t answer. She pressed the dial button again and listened to the beep repeat. Nothing. A message popped up indicating to Gunita that Sarma had contacted her. She followed up typing a message to meet her online later that day. The evening had barely begun so maybe her mother wasn’t awake.

She straightened Auseklis’ blankets and gurgled in his face, but he didn’t giggle. A cold shiver ran over her body. She ached for him to respond like a normal baby should. He’d gained a bit more weight with the blood they’d given him, but he remained too thin, too gaunt. He needed her. Her heart still clenched. He spent more time listless and sleeping than he should. And she could blame no one but herself for his situation.

Sure, Velta made her into a vampire. But life wasn’t about what happened to her, but how she responded to it. Right now, she was failing miserably. Her son. Her heartmate. Her family. Her coven.

Since the memory of Velta attacking her came up, a nasty film of disgust coated everything vampire. She could barely look at Reinis, let alone nourish herself. Even with the special infusions, her body began to waste away as if they didn’t matter. She only took the smallest bit possible. When no one could see her, she sobbed in the shower. With each day that passed, the urgency to help Auseklis weighed heavier on her. Why couldn’t she get over this stupid feeling?

She’d seen it all again when Reinis read her mind. And now her terror had turned into a reoccurring nightmare. Velta attacking her in different ways. Hunting her. Trying to kill her. In the middle of the day, she woke up silently bawling. Afraid to wake Auseklis. Reinis had so much on his mind with their son, he didn’t need to hear more about her selfish pain. Auseklis’ gray cheeks and cries burned her like acid. Every single day.

News of Imants and the fact that she’d been a vampire her whole life should have hit her like a nuclear bomb. But the attack haunted her. Consumed her. Drained her ability to function. Normally, she’d ask Laima for help. But she seemed distant. Didn’t offer her the normal cup of tea or offer a listening ear. Her hug was stiff and forced. Sarma used her new skills to sense the source of Laima’s troubles, but she was closed off like an iron clad door. Laima disappeared for hours, sometimes days, without telling anyone where she went. She stared off into space. And often forgot to attend to patients, something she’d never done before.

Alone now with Auseklis, bouncing him on her knee, Sarma strained her mind searching for some clue to Imants’ stories. Nothing surfaced in her memory, but he knew real details about her life. She tried to remember the games he said they played, but she drew blanks. After meeting with him, an evil migraine had descended on her for two days, and right now it threatened to return.
