The next morning, she walked in the garden. She used to love this place when she was a kid. Logan would chase her through the rose bushes and she would squeal in delight.

One time she fell into one of the bushes. The thorns scratched her arms and little dots of blood lined her arms and legs. Logan told her to sit on the bench while he went to get something to clean it up. But by the time he returned, the scratches had healed. That was the first time she knew she wasn’t the same as other kids.

That was the first time Logan told her about being a vampire.

“We had some good memories here, didn’t we sister?”

Myra’s breath caught in her throat when she spun around. There, in the sunshine, was Kane. He had his hands in his pockets, looking casual and in a good mood. He was rarely in a good mood, so she was instantly suspicious.

“What are you doing here?” she asked.

“This is my house, too. You used to be better at sharing.”

She swallowed and glanced around, taking note of the quickest way to get away–just in case.

“I’m not going to hurt you,” Kane said. “At least, not as long as you cooperate.”

“Cooperate with what?” She inched her way toward the bench, edging to the house. She’d left Ryan inside sleeping. Part of her wanted him to stay inside, safe. The other part wanted him out here with her. She was strong now. Faster. But Kane still scared the shit out of her.

“Just stay out of the way,” Kane said. “Logan was at the hotel yesterday. Your shifter has been flying around, searching. I need you to keep out of it–and make sure your friends do, too.”

“Willow is our friend. She doesn’t want to be with you or to help you.”

He moved forward so fast, he was in her face before she could move. Shit, shit, shit. She needed to get better at this vampire thing. She needed to start working with her abilities instead of against them.

“She’s not your friend anymore,” Kane said with a smug smile.

“What did you do to her?”

“Nothing really. Just a little…maneuvering of her memories. She’s on our side now, and you’re only going to confuse her if you butt in. So, do everyone a favor–including yourself–and stay away. Get on with your life. Soon, you’ll be a full vampire and you can do whatever you want.”

“I don’t want to be a full vampire,” Myra hissed. “Let Willow go, or else–”

“What?” He gripped her arms, fingers bruising her skin. “You’ll what? Because if you can’t stay away, I swear to God, it’ll be a full-on war. I can protect you but only if you cooperate. And I can’t guarantee anything for your friends or that shifter you seem to be getting so friendly with.”

“Let go!” Myra yanked from his grasp and took a swing at him, but he was too fast.

She spun around and he was behind her. He smiled. “Better get going. Just remember your place.
