Chapter 10

After Alana was sure she’d lost Jaxon in the maze of alleyways in Chicago’s seedier part of town, she slowed down to a jog, texting Taylor to let her know she was on her way.

No response.

Taylor was either ignoring Alana, sleeping, or something happened. She broke into a run again, quickly flying past the last few blocks to her apartment building.

Alana couldn’t wait for elevator, so she took the stairs for three floors with ease, the exercise doing little to quiet her mind.

“Taylor? I’m home!” She called out for her sister as she opened the door, more concerned with knowing Taylor was safe rather than waking her up if she was asleep.

“Shh!” Taylor hissed at Alana from the island in the middle of her kitchen. She was on the phone. Alana shuffled her feet and her own phone rung.

She looked down at the display. Unknown Caller. With her current mood, she could yell at a telemarketer.

She unlocked the phone and pressed the green button. “Hello?”

“I need to speak with you.” It was Jaxon. His voice gravelly.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” She cursed under my breath. “How did you even get this number? You know what? Now isn’t the time. We’ll talk later. I’ve got your number now.” She clicked off as her sister dropped her phone on the counter.

“What was so urgent that you came in here shouting at me?” Taylor asked, her eyes narrowed as she took in Alana’s appearance. She winced. She probably still had sex hair, dirt smeared across her face, and dust all over her black shirt.

Alana’s phone buzzed in her hand. Unknown Caller again. Persistent bastard. She sent it to voicemail. For a moment she fumbled for how to explain to Taylor why she was so worried. Well, sis, you didn't answer your phone and I was afraid an evil warlock had murdered you while I was making out with his brother!

This was ridiculous. She couldn't keep doing this. She couldn't keep expecting Taylor to protect herself when she had no idea what she was defending herself from.

“Well, Taylor,” Alana said, taking a deep breath. “I’ve been thinking about everything you said and I think we should talk. I think it’s time I tell you what’s really going on with me.”

Her eyebrows flew up into her hairline. “As in right now?”

“Yup. Here and now. No more lies.” Her phone went off again and Alana gritted her teeth. “Can we sit?” She looked around the room nervously, her palms sweating.

She was really going to tell Taylor the truth about everything. It was an impulsive decision but fuck it. It was an impulsive kind of day. At least if Taylor decided she was insane and cut all ties with her, her sister might at least be out of danger.

Taylor grabbed her glass of wine and walked over to the couch, crossing her legs underneath herself and facing Alana. It was an uncomfortably formal-looking posture. Alana wondered if criminals felt like this before Taylor interrogated them.
