Chapter: Sixteen

It was impossible to manage basic thinking with him breathing down my neck, so I sent him away. He left quietly, a grim air shading that fl awless face and tinting his eyes muddy-charcoal. But when the door closed behind him, it was still only a door. It didn’t slam into me like a discus fl ung at my head by a giant thrower, the way it felt when Ryder left the room. If anything, watching Lucian go fi lled me with something similar to relief. But why should that be? He hadn’t done anything to me, so why should I feel relieved at seeing him split? After all, if I was going to believe his story, he was my soul mate, the person for whom I literally died, repeatedly. Surely I should’ve felt something for him. Something other than relief at watching him leave, that is.

The phone rang, and the shrill sound had me jumping higher than a basketball through the hoop.

“Hi, Lil. Whatcha doing?”

“Oh, hey, J. Nothing much.” Other than contemplating that I’m about to die for stealing your fi ancé four hundred years ago, when you called on a nasty angel to slaughter my derrière, time and time again. “Guess what’s up,” she giggled. For someone who very nearly died only a week earlier, she sure sounded chipper these days. “Delilah joined Greenpeace and left to save the whales in the Bermuda Triangle, where she disappeared without a trace?”

“Fat chance. She has a new boyfriend, though.”

It wasn’t more than a couple of days since she’d been dumped again.

“Already?”

“Yep. Biker named Beau. The man has a lazy eye and talks with an accent, so you don’t understand half of what he’s saying. Something for which I’m actually grateful.” “Hmm,” I agreed absentmindedly.

J didn’t seem to notice me drifting. “Anyhow, that’s not it.”

“It, what?”

“What’s happening is not a Delilah thing.”

I tried to focus. “Okay, what kind of thing is it, then?”

“A Lucian thing.”

“Lucian? Lucian Bell, Lucian?”

“No, Lucian, the werewolf from Underworld. Of course, Lucian Bell!”

Something inside me stilled. “What about him?”

I heard her take in a breath before effectively erupting like a volcano belching out excitement. “I did it! I asked him to prom! To which, FYI, it’s been decided that he should be allowed to put in an appearance. And he said yes!” More psyched screeching followed.

“He said … yes?”

“Uh-huh.”

Without stalling or even hesitating, I confronted my feelings very openly. Was there the smallest hint of jealousy? Nope. Nada. Zilch. Absolutely nothing. Other than a vague concern for J caused by her unhealthy obsession with Lucian, the news left me cold.

“And what led to this wonderful development?” I asked, mainly on autopilot.

“Okay, so after you and Ryder left — oh, by the way, how was your day? Did you talk to him? Is everything okay?”

“Complicated question,” I said, without stopping to think.

“Complicated how?”

Hmm! “Can’t really say yet. Things are pretty much crazy.”

Crazy was the best word, I decided. Yes, we’d spent a beautiful afternoon together and I’d
