Chapter Eleven

Jenna was having a quiet crisis. She sat cross-legged on the couch in the sitting area of her room trying to figure out why the formula that had worked her entire life was no longer enough.

When she’d realized she couldn’t be as perfect as Kelly in school, she’d stopped competing and proclaimed she didn’t care. When she’d recognized that she’d never be as good with animals as her parents were, she’d given up on her plans to be a vet and switched to an English Lit major. It was for the best. She never could stand the sight of animals suffering.

The only thing that had been perfect for her was her tabloid job. What had started out being another I-don’t-care moment had morphed into a damn-I’m-good-at-this job. Her perfectionism had translated into awesome articles. The best part? She wasn’t competing with any of her family.

So what was she doing competing with Kelly again? Her sister had saved the day in Houston, and now Fin expected Jenna to do the same in Philly. If she didn’t ring that damn bell, it was bye-bye humanity. And this time she couldn’t walk away and pretend she didn’t care.

The last two nights proved she wasn’t ready for a prime-time performance. Last night she’d wasted her chance to shine by heaving up her stomach. Tonight she’d just stood frozen trying to breathe past the boulder in her throat.

Kelly probably would’ve picked up a candlestick and splattered some vampire brains over the floor.

Then there was Al. He terrified her on a level so primal, her modern mind couldn’t wrap itself around the emotion. She’d looked into his eyes tonight and seen death. He’d wanted to join Spin in the killing, and he’d had a tough time resisting all that fun. His soul had recognized her tonight. And she had a gut feeling it was trying to decide where to file her. She hoped it wasn’t under “prey.”

So if she was that afraid, then why did she want to rip his clothes from his body and do things with him she’d never wanted to do with any other man? She didn’t just want sex, she wanted SEX—rough, raw, and savage. No holds barred. Was there something in the carnal, elemental male of him that called to the primitive remnants of her essential female? She was a thinking person, and something that spoke to instinct and not reason made her nervous.

Even though she was physically exhausted, her mind was awake and trying to dissect everything Al had said and done today even as it analyzed how those things related to her.

And when her mind took a breather from thinking about Al, it brought up all the violent images from the church. In living, or more accurately undead, color. God, she didn’t want to think about that.

So she did what she always did when she wanted a mental distraction: she turned to her laptop. First she checked her e-mail. Penis enlargement, hair replacement, sexy singles, and a message from her editor.
