Chapter Five

Cathy blinked awake, soft silk and fluffy blankets surrounding her. A ceiling fan clicked above, and she watched it rotate, memories fluttering in her mind like the air that it spun. She remembered everything. The cavern. Adrian. She’d been awake on some level through it all. And she knew she was in Darius’s home, somewhere off the coast, overlooking the ocean. But there was more than that—more she knew. When she’d connected with Darius in that cavern, somehow she’d found her way into his memories—into his past. She swallowed hard against the emotion that came to her as she thought of the things Darius had endured and she sat up in the bed.

Her gaze scanned the room; it was filled with black—a black headboard, black covers, a black dresser—and was bare of any personal photos or memories. “Because he doesn’t want to remember,” she whispered.

She shoved aside the blankets, smiling as she realized she was wearing one of Darius’s shirts. She’d never actually worn a man’s shirt to sleep. Not that she hadn’t dated here and there, but no man had ever gained her interest as much as magic and the unknown. Later, in college, she’d met Sarah and joined her team, and then chasing down reported paranormal events had completely absorbed her attention. The more evil she’d seen, the more dedicated to Sarah and then to the Knights she’d become. But things with Darius were different.

Cathy stared down at the shirt. Wearing it felt nice—feminine in a way she’d never felt before. She noted the robe lying at the end of the bed, but it was clearly way too big for her. At five foot two, that thing would be more like a cape, dragging the ground. She’d pass. Still, her hand ran over it, her gaze once again traveling the room—his room.

She inhaled, drawing in the spicy male scent around her. She’d thought she’d resent having a predestined mate picked for her, had often wondered about the Knights and their mates and how they dealt with the choice being made for them. But now, she did not feel that way at all. How could she after all those images that she’d seen in his mind, after the precious chance she’d been given to see what had created the immortal known as the Destroyer.

She crossed the black-tiled floor and pulled open the door, the scent of food instantly reaching her nose. Cathy pressed her hand to her stomach as it rumbled in anxious demand. A long hallway gave her the option of going upstairs to another level or straight ahead. She chose the latter, which led directly to the kitchen that was—surprise—black! Black tile, black cabinets, black table and chairs. Good grief. Rounding the corner to the cooking area, she found Darius at the stove—tall and broad, in jeans and a T-shirt—with his back to her as he cooked what looked to be pancakes.

“The Destroyer and chef,” she said, leaning against the wall.

He turned to look at her over his shoulder.
