“Lemon sucking toad boil!” Shauna screeches, launching herself at my ex-fiancé, her fingers curled into claws.

She’s inches away from his face, but Brent doesn’t flinch or stumble back. And then suddenly Shauna pings off, almost as if she’s hit an invisible wall. Being Shauna, she doesn’t give up, zipping right at him. Again, just before she can touch him, some force propels her in the opposite direction.

Brent—the asshole—laughs.

And then Giselle is slipping past me to run into his arms. Her body presses against his. Brent, in turn, embraces her as well, running his hands up and down her back like he’s checking to make sure she’s still whole. It’d be a touching scene—if he hadn’t nearly proposed to me a few weeks ago and then, you know, tried to murder me on this very porch.

Shauna, meanwhile, continues her attempts to attack, until finally exhausted she whines, “You hate supes but clearly this is a witch’s protection spell.”

“Let’s go,” Brent says, ignoring Shauna. Ignoring me too, for that matter.

“Yeah,” I say, at his back. “Get out of here and don’t come back.”

This gets Brent. He whirls around. “Giselle could’ve been killed because of you.”

“Because of me?” I blink.

Giselle answers, “The guy who took me wanted me to deliver a message.”

“You’re just telling me this now?”

“Um, not to be a bother,” Izzy says in a soft voice, “but I really think I need to get to the hospital,”

“One minute,” I tell her.

Giselle smirks. “It’s hard to get a word in around here.” She rubs Brent’s arm. “That’s why you and Brent didn’t last.”

“Yeah, communication was our problem, not him being a murdering asshole.” I give her my best, ‘don’t fuck with me’ face. “Now who took you and what do they want with me?”

“Giselle doesn’t know,” Brent says, answering for her and proving once again, in case there was any doubt, that he’s a control freak. “You should have heard her when she called me—she was terrified! The guy was masked and had a voice changer. All she knows is the message. He said, ‘Your enemies are my enemies. Give me a sign and I’ll kill her twice’.”

My head swims. What does that even mean? If this was the work of the vampire serial killer, did he think taking Giselle was doing me a favor? Was it meant to be a present, just like the blinged-out vamp who cut my wrist?

“We’re going now,” Brent says, pulling Giselle in closer and turning away. “And if this is a stunt to avoid signing the NDA it hasn’t worked. We still need that from you. My lawyer will be in touch.”

“I’m not signing shit for you,” I spit after them.

“Yeah, you shit shitting shit for brains,” Shauna adds.

I give her a ‘not helping’ look. Izzy bends over and lets out a guttural moan. “I think I need to go now.”

“Wait,” comes Nico’s voice from behind me. He’s on his feet—he wasn’t kidding about healing fast. There’s something oddly comforting about his solid structure there. “I’ll need to ask questions tomorrow.
