Chapter 17

Dorian

I have never been a jealous person. I was born into a life of privilege, so I’ve never really had any need to be jealous. Not in good conscience, that is. Maybe I’ve had my little envies over the years. That’s only human nature. But I’ve never been jealous that someone might steal something away from me. To be honest, I’ve never felt like anybody could.

That all changed when it came to Haley. I don’t know what it was, but I couldn’t stand the thought of Haley being with that brute of a boy. All day as I lay in my coffin, I thought about the two of them together. On a rational level, I knew that Haley was just toying with the idiot for reasons that she refused to divulge. But on a different level — one built on some previously unrecognized insecurities — the thought of him putting his hands on her was making me insane.

If she wanted revenge on the brute, then there were plenty of ways to exact it without having to hold his hand and make eyes at him. Unless that’s what she wanted to do. One could never tell with young women.

As soon as I could feel the light outside starting to dwindle I was out of my coffin and getting dressed. Things had not ended well with Haley the previous night and I had stormed out of Uncle Kevin’s house rather abruptly. I needed to talk to her. I needed to explain that Ilona meant nothing to me. She had never meant anything to me. The only reason that I had been with her in the first place was out of boredom. Eternity was a very long time to fill and that’s why vampires had a tendency to run amok. In a few decades Haley would begin to understand. But I couldn’t wait that long for her to forgive me. Every second that we weren’t together felt like an eternity.

I hurried to Haley’s house, convinced that if I could just speak to her while we were both being rational, then I could clear up any misunderstanding that had arisen with the appearance of Ilona. But much to my annoyance, Haley wasn’t there. Nor was she at her place of employment. It seemed early for Haley to be cruising the bars for something to eat, but I checked anyway. She wasn’t there either. Where the devil had she gone?

I returned to the castle to fill my belly. I’d left the house in such a rush that I hadn’t used common sense precautions. It was a good thing I hadn’t run into Haley’s little boyfriend while I was out or I would have had a challenging time controlling my temper.

As I sat in the salon, sipping a cocktail, I thought things over. There was Erika’s house. Haley might have gone to see her. I felt a pang of alarm. My scion did still have an open invitation to that abode. I immediately leapt to my feet.
