Chapter 12

“Why the hell hasn’t he called today?” Nathan growled. Julia and Dimitri were in his kitchen with him, eating their evening meal, watching him pace. Their expressions bore concern over his antsy behavior, yet they said nothing. Wise. His mood was so foul, Nathan feared what might come out of his mouth.

Six days had passed since Mia awoke from her turning. Except for today, her doctor had called Julia to report on her. For her privacy, he’d provided little information beyond that she fared well, but Nathan suspected her frame of mind wasn’t progressing at the same pace as her new body.

Nathan was dying to know more. He realized vampire doctors didn’t adhere to all the health regulations of human ones, but privacy for one’s patient still prevailed. The doctor wouldn’t share anything that might violate Mia’s trust in him. Nathan couldn’t blame him there, but damn it, he needed answers.

Julia finally replied to his question. “If Christian has nothing to report regarding Mia, he probably feels no need to call. You know she’s fine, Nathan. Physically.”

Nathan’s gaze slashed her way. “I know that, but what I don’t know is how she’s adapting to her turning. Poorly, I would suspect, given her disgust for me and our entire species. I’m surprised she’s even allowing that doctor of yours within her same zip code.” Worry for her was driving him insane. His gut felt as if it were infested with a legion of writhing snakes and had since the night he’d left Mia. “And what the hell will happen to her once Dr. La Mond releases her?” he muttered.

“Oh dear, that is a conundrum,” Julia said, then sat down her fork and nibbled at her lower lip.

Dimitri looked troubled too, but didn’t comment.

A big one, Nathan thought. Imagining her life as an unmated female without vampire protection, was his greatest fear for her now. He knew all too well what feral males were capable of doing to a fledgling female. If they were lucky enough to capture one, or unlucky in the case of the female, they force mated them. It wasn’t just a matter of physical rape, which was bad enough, but the feral male marked the female against her will.

Marking was marriage for their kind and although he’d never experienced it, Nathan understood it to be a beautiful act between two vampires who loved each other. If the act was perpetrated on a woman of their kind by a feral, it was the single most horrid thing that could happen to a female of their race. She’d be bonded to that insane vampire forever. Even if the feral male died, she’d never have another chance to life-mate. The horror she’d suffer under the male’s mind control would drive her insane and eventually she’d turn feral too. If, god forbid, they had children, it was an even worse nightmare, resulting in feral children.

“Christian will explain this to her if he hasn’t already,” Dimitri finally said.

Julia added, “Don’t worry, my darling.
