Chapter

Sixteen

Jason’s head pounded like the drum line in a subpar marching band. He’d hoped he could work a little, knew that after four days his inbox would be full, but after staring at a single email for the better part of an hour, he conceded he wasn’t ready.

Shuffling from his room, he found Selene curled in the leather chair with one of the books from the library in the guest room. She didn’t appear to be reading it, however. Her violet eyes stared past the page seemingly lost in a daydream.

“How about a movie?” Jason asked.

“Please.” She closed the book. “If you’re not too tired. It’s getting late.”

“I’ve spent days in bed.” He grimaced. “I have no desire to go back there. Not yet.”

“What do you want to watch?”

“I have every streaming service known to man. Pick your poison.”

She snagged the remote off the coffee table and turned on the television. He watched her fold her legs underneath her on the sofa as she flipped through her options. What would she pick? Did acolytes even watch TV?

“Here we go.” She clicked on an icon and tossed the remote back on the coffee table.

Jason smiled. “The Lord of the Rings? A strange choice for an acolyte.”

“It’s a classic! What do you think acolytes should watch?”

“The Sound of Music,” Jason responded immediately.

Selene’s mouth dropped open. “You do understand I don’t make my own clothes from my curtains.”

He raised a brow at her thrift-store jeans and T-shirt combo. “You paid for that?”

She gasped in feigned outrage. “Not everyone needs or can afford monogrammed dress shirts, Prince Jason. How much did you pay for the privilege of looking like a pretentious asshat?” She flipped him the bird.

Laughing, he crossed the room to sit at the other end of the sofa. “I just think you’re beautiful and deserve beautiful clothes. Maybe I need to make a donation to Sanctuary. Artemis needs to take better care of her acolytes.”

Her body tensed. Perhaps she was remembering the way he’d thrown her against the wall. Jason was probably like a dark cave to her. Once you’d seen the bear go in, even if you never saw it again, you’d never trust the darkness. You’d assume the bear was in there, hiding in the shadows.

She scooted away from him, closer to the armrest. “How are you feeling?”

Jason leaned his head back and analyzed her body language. Yep, she was afraid. Goddess, he owed her one. “My wolf is still making demands, but he’s not as loud inside my head as he used to be. Actually, when I think about what I did to you, it makes me feel ill. It was uncalled for. It won’t happen again.”

Selene glanced at her fingers tangled in her lap. “Then we accomplished our goal. You’ve seen your vice for what it is.”

“So that’s it? I’m cured?”

She snorted. “No. Not yet. Your vice will grow stronger with time, but the more you practice pushing it away, the longer it will stay away.”

“What’s the next step of the program?” he asked.
