The words echoed around them.

Behind them, Duke hissed out a breath and moved, grabbing Ana off the bed and rolling backward into a smooth feline movement. In the span of a heartbeat, he had them on the other side of the room.

“You . . . you see her?” Ana asked hesitantly.

Duke nodded. “I see her.”€•

“You were supposed to help! ’ This time, the voice was louder. Plaintive. Screeching inside Ana’s head and scraping against her nerve endings like nails down a chalkboard.

Something pressed in on her shields, hard, harder than before and Ana gasped, instinctively recoiling and slamming extra shields into place. The sensation of being pushed intensified and Ana groaned, pressed her hands to her temples.

“Stop it,” she whispered. Her brain felt like it was being compressed, squeezed by a giant fist.

“Stop it!’€•

“Why didn’t you help him?”€•

“Help who?” Duke demanded.

“Paul,” Ana rasped out, trying to think past the pain in her head. Damn it, she hadn’t thought ghosts could actually hurt people. But this one was doing just that. “She wants to know why we didn’t help Paul.”€•

Abruptly, the pressure on her head eased. A low, keening wail filled the room. It made her hair stand on end, brought tears to her eyes. It was the sound of pain, she realized. The sound of pain, a deep, heart-wrenching anguish that Ana couldn’t even begin to fathom. “Why didn’t you help him?” €•

Shaking her head, Ana whispered thickly, “I don’t know how. I . . . I’m sorry.”€•

“I told him you would help us . . .” €•

Then there was a sigh.

Then silence.

Ana closed her eyes and took a deep breath, tried to find the words. She would help. She’d find a way. Somehow,

But when she opened her eyes, the room was empty. Save for her and Duke.

They were alone again.
