CHAPTER 15

VIOLET

“You’re insane if you think I’m leaving her at the Morrigan Estate in these parts,” is the first thing I hear Arion arguing when I come to.

“She’ll stay in neutral territory—the Van Helsing Estate,” Vance states dismissively.

“That’d be a fine argument, anywhere but at the estate your father runs,” Damien chides in a dry tone, sounding very close, as fingers gingerly stroke through my hair.

“She’ll be perfectly safe,” Vance states like he’s defensive on the matter.

“And completely cut off from the rest of us,” Emit growls.

“Well, she’s sure as fuck not staying at the local House of Morpheous or House of Jessup,” Vance says, causing me to groan.

Everyone stops talking at once, and something crackling gathers my attention, seconds before a chill slithers over my skin.

“Easy, sweet gypsy,” Damien murmurs close to my ear as I lift up, slowly blinking my eyes open.

We’re sitting on a couch in the middle of what appears to be a collapsing cabin.

“All these houses are in another neutral ground, which is a ghost-fueled town, right?” I ask, my throat a little dry, but I still manage to not miss much of a beat.

“Yes,” Arion answers, sitting across from me and leisurely raking his eyes over my body, as I lean against Damien’s side.

“Are you okay?” Vance asks from behind me, drawing my attention over my shoulder to see him standing just behind the couch.

His hand runs down my cheek as I give him a quick nod, not wanting to discuss the whole lightning rod thing just yet. Jeez, I forgot how much that sucks.

“I’ll stay in the town hotel. Perfectly neutral,” I finish. Then I rush on to say, “I’m sorry about Fiona.”

Vance’s eyebrows bounce up in surprise. “Violet, it’s not your—”

“Lightning from miles away will find me if I’m not properly quarantined, so don’t say it’s not my fault. I can’t afford to replace your jet, but—”

“Bloody hell, she’s being serious,” Arion cuts in, sounding so damn amused.

Vance’s lips struggle to keep from turning up at the edges.

“I have others,” Vance tells me as he strokes my cheek again. “You can pay me in apples.”

“You named the plane. It was clearly special,” I point out, since they all act like it’s no big deal I just caused us to crash by simply being an ideal conductor.

What if one of them had died for twenty-eight years?

“He names all his vessels. Old habits die hard. You named your steed, so you named your ship,” Damien states very dismissively, casually dragging me onto his lap and holding me to him as he breathes me in.

I essentially lie against him, letting him hold me, since it feels like he needs the reassurance that my pain is gone. A full body breath seems to leave him, all his relief pouring out with it.

“Who’s Fiona?” Arion asks, causing me to glance up at Vance.

Vance looks like he’s about to punch Arion, who’s grinning.

Ohhh…

“Really?” Vance asks Arion a little pointedly.

Arion grins over at me, getting my attention, as he raps his fingers on the arm of the chair.
