CHAPTER SIX

I stay away from Frosty, knowing it’s for the best. In fact, I stay away from everyone, even Emma. At best, I’m a bad-luck charm. At worst, I can’t be trusted to make quality decisions. In court, Anima can use my actions against me to win cases.

I never before realized the far-reaching consequences of my actions. Everything I do affects the ones I love, not just in the now, but in the future.

When I hear Milla has been hurt by Anima, that she almost died in a way that had nothing to do with Ali’s vision, I decide to end my self-imposed exile. Sitting on the sidelines obviously isn’t the answer to our problems.

And yeah, I’m calling her Milla now. And I’m calling myself Kathryn. I’m no longer a friend to myself. I screwed up my life—death—too badly.

Before checking on Milla, however, I visit Ali. I’ll need her support if I’m going to convince Milla to welcome me back to the team. And I do want to be welcomed back. I got us into this mess, and I want to help get us out. But I’m done steamrolling and pushing my own agenda. This is her life, and I’ll do things her way.

Ali is—

Hubba hubba! She’s kissing Cole as if she’s dying and needs to suck the oxygen out of his lungs. Envy pricks at me. I miss kissing my guy… but it’s not Frosty I’m thinking about right now. It’s River, Milla’s brother. He’s so tall and strong he would dwarf me. Are his lips as soft as they appear? Will he taste like his favorite blueberry Pop-Tarts?

Oh… crap. What’s wrong with me? I’ve got to get that boy out of my head.

I clear my throat, and both Ali and Cole jolt, ending the kiss. Their gazes find me. Cole scowls, and it does nothing to detract from his hotness. Seriously, he’s third-degree-burns hot. He has black hair, violet eyes framed by a thick fan of lashes, and the face of a fallen angel. Like River, he’s covered in tattoos. According to Ali, one of his nipples is pierced.

I wonder if River has any hidden piercings…

Enough!

Ali leaps to the wrong conclusion, asking, “What’s wrong?”

“Only everything. But don’t worry, I’m determined to clean up the mess I made with Milla, and you know I always sometimes accomplish my goals. This time I need your help. Since you don’t want to delay victory, I’m sure you’re champing at the bit to head to Milla’s room with me.”

She expels a relieved breath.

Cole plops onto the chair at the vanity and leans over, anchoring his elbows on his knees. “Why don’t you come back in an hour? Or even half an hour?”

“Why don’t you take care of yourself while Ali and I take care of business?” I ask. “And half an hour? Really? Maybe I need to sit you down and explain how the female body works.”

Ali barks out a laugh. She pats her boyfriend on the cheek and says, “You heard her, Coleslaw.
