“ICANNOT believe you never spoke of this physician before, this Dr. Radley.”

The room was wintry. Even the fire crackling away in the stone fireplace couldn’t penetrate the frost that surrounded Malachi, pitching the entire room down to what felt like subarctic temperatures.

Oh, he was pissed.

Kelsey sauntered into the room, refusing to let the chill of his anger intimidate her. She had enough problems to worry about with the werewolf witch wannabe locked down in the basement. Basement. She pursed her lips. It was actually more like a dungeon.

After leaving Vax and Jessica Warren in the fishing cabin by the river, Malachi had taken himself and Kelsey across that river to this place. Malachi had known about the house. For all Kelsey knew, it belonged to her husband. He had places like this scattered across the States. Safe houses, he called them. Of course, instead of directing Vax here, he had sent him across the river to that smelly fishing cabin. Kelsey wasn’t the least bit surprised. Malachi had a mean streak a mile wide in him, and he had issues with Vax. She wasn’t overly worried about Vax. He’d lived in hellholes much worse than the small fifteen-by-fifteen cabin. She did feel a little sorry for Jessica Warren.

She was tempted to contact Vax and tell him about this house. He’d show up in a second, just to annoy Malachi. Both he and Jess would have decent beds to sleep in, instead of those small, miserable-looking cots.

Kelsey didn’t, though. She was alone with her husband in this big, lovely house, and they apparently had something to discuss. She wasn’t going to wuss out by inviting a couple of innocent bystanders into it.

Nessa had left—she hadn’t said where she was going, and Kelsey hadn’t bothered to ask. She had always been a bit…fey, but ever since the events of the past winter, Agnes Milcher had gone from fey to downright peculiar. She disappeared for weeks on end—one time she had been gone for three months. Kelsey was worried about her, but there was nothing to be done for it.

Nessa wouldn’t ever be the woman she had once been.

Kelsey missed her friend. Even more, she hurt for Nessa. More than some, Kelsey understood why Radley was pursuing this. For people like Nessa. People who had been robbed of any chance of a normal life, of even the simplest of things, like spending your life with the man you loved.

Slowly, Kelsey turned and looked at Malachi. Dear God, how she loved him. He was her every waking thought; he was the dream when she fell asleep. Her entire reason for living. Losing him would destroy her so utterly, so completely. Agnes Milcher had been fifteen when she’d lost the love of her life, and she’d never again fallen in love.

Nearly five hundred years of loneliness. Yes. Kelsey understood. But Malachi didn’t.

They hadn’t been married even a year, but Kelsey knew the vampire pretty damn well. He was so used to intimidating people, he rarely noticed when he went into that mode.
