Chapter 5

Danton

He’d scared her off.

Danton watched as Tracy ran from him until she was nothing but a speck of pink in the distance. Then, she disappeared from view. His chest tightened.

Where had he gone wrong? Was it something he had said? Regret smothered him.

His instincts urged him to follow her and ensure she was all right, but he’d heard her words. They stung like hornets as he repeated them in his head—it will only make it worse.

She’d had problems with anxiety and panic attacks. They’d terrified her. She’d said it felt like she was dying. What could he do to relieve that agony?

He couldn’t bother her as she’d made her wishes clear. Still, he had to ensure that she was safe before he returned to stone. He’d remain at a distance, watching over her from afar, the way it had been until last night.

Then what?

Could he return to Vamps after she’d rejected him? Now that she knew he watched over her from stone, would he be a source of distress in her life, no better than her ex?

He walked onto the sand, seeking answers in the endless flow of the ocean. He needed to consider his next step. Remaining in Vamps might be agony for them both. Perhaps he should find a spot like this near the ocean. He’d live out his cursed days quietly, staring out over the sea. The ocean air and spray from splashing waves would cool him under hot summer days like this one.

Yet, come winter, the blustery setting would turn harsh. The chances of his freedom would be more limited. Few dared to walk along the frigid shoreline once the temperature dropped. And he doubted many of those brave souls walking their dogs were criminals who would attack those passing by. He’d have no reason to shift from stone to help anyone.

It was time to head back to Vamps and talk to his brothers. It might be time for them to move on to another location. Maybe one of them would be luckier in love and have a chance to break the curse.

He’d lost his chance at happiness and freedom. After baring himself to her, he’d scared her off.

It was over.
