Chapter 21

Amaia helped Michael bury the body in an unkempt garden where they could hide the freshly turned earth with weeds. She wanted to feed as well, but they needed to get back to the cottage to discuss this new development with Meg and Liam. She fed off as much human energy as she could on their way out of town.

“Everything is going to be all right. I’m not going to let Zenas, Lawrence, or anyone else hurt you.”

She must appear more worried than she’d thought, or perhaps Michael simply knew her too well. “We’ll talk about it when we get there.”

Before they reached the cottage, Amaia stopped. Two unfamiliar vampire energies came from the direction of the house, and Meg and Liam weren’t nearby.

“What do you want to do?” Michael placed himself between her and the vampires they could barely see through the trees.

“Wait.” Amaia didn’t know if they had been spotted. Until she had a better understanding of the situation, she didn’t want to make a move.

After a minute, one of the vampires left in the opposite direction, traveling until Amaia could no longer feel him.

“If you’re out there, my mate has left. We come in peace,” the woman shouted.

“I don’t trust her.” Michael crouched low, ready to spring.

“We can help. I won’t call my mate back until we’ve talked.”

“Trust has little to do with it. I can take both of them on my own. With them separated and you helping, there’s no way they’d be able to overpower us. We’ve got nothing to lose.” Curiosity got the better of Amaia. She didn’t want to let the woman leave without discovering what she knew. Alone, the woman posed no threat. Even with her mate, they weren’t a challenge. Since death wasn’t a possibility, the worse that could happen was they passed information on to Zenas. It wouldn’t matter. Lawrence already knew they were outside of Paris with Meg and Liam.

Amaia ran toward the woman, looking for any defensive signs. If she wanted to use violence, she’d do so against a charging vampire. The woman remained still, completely relaxed. The only change in her countenance was a questioning lift of her brow. Amaia stopped a few yards away, maintaining an unthreatening distance. Michael stood in front of her and to the side. He made no secret of his willingness to attack if the vampire threatened her.

“Are you Amaia?”

“Yes, I am. Who are you?”

The woman smiled, and her eyes twinkled in a welcoming way. “I’m Alice. My mate Remy and I are nomads. We’re friends with Meg and Liam.”

Amaia had heard their names mentioned before, but given the current state of affairs, she wasn’t willing to trust them whether they were friends or not. They weren’t on a social visit, otherwise she wouldn’t have been interested in Amaia. “What business do you have here?”

“We’ve heard of your trouble with Zenas and are here to offer our support.”

“It looks as if Lawrence gave himself a head start,” Michael said.

“It means Lawrence is still in Paris, or Zenas is nearby.
