A fter the servants fix the disaster of a room, we each take a seat, even though there are enough couches for each of us; Cairo sat by my side. When he place his hand on my thigh, the guys’ faces harden. Cairo and I ignore the tension in the room and explain what happened after we left the restaurant. Well, Cairo explained I kept replaying the guy’s face in my head who tried to attack us. Only chiming in when I needed a break from my own thoughts.

I know I can’t keep these dreams to myself any longer, but I also know that I would prove Demetri right. I’ve been withholding information and can’t be trusted. But when a window of opportunity presents itself, I should take it, and so I did.

“I’ve dreamt about the man who tried to attack us. He was standing next to a man and a woman with platinum pixie hair,” I whisper.

All their attention turn to me and I don’t look at any of them. Demetri shoots up from his seat and it takes everything out of me not to heave a deep sigh.

“Why didn’t you mention this sooner? That man was a scout for Tor who is now on his way to report since your Centaur here missed his target.”

Cairo’s hand gripped my thigh hard, and I winced. “I. Never. Miss!” He says through gritted teeth. I’m sure he didn’t either, but the shoot was not enough to kill the vampire, if it even wounded him.

I jump up from the couch my mind felt like it’s been pulled in different directions from the arguing. “Just stop it! I’m sorry, okay? You never trusted me from the moment you kidnapped me.” Cairo raised a brow at the word ‘kidnapped’ something that I’m sure I would have to explain later, but now was not the time. “You treated me like I was the enemy and grew suspicious of me with each passing day. What else was I supposed to do?”

“And yet you’ve proven my suspicions were just! You’ve been keeping vital information from all of us!” Demetri continues as he advances closer to me.

“You,” Cairo begins as he stands to block me from Demetri. “Need to calm down.” His voice was husky and filled with warning.

I shake my head. I never wanted something like this to happen. I was damned if I did and damned if I didn’t from the beginning.

“Demetri’s right. She’s been lying to us from the beginning and throwing around lectures about trust and betrayal.”

My mouths hangs open as I stare at Aiden. He was the last person I’d think would throw me under the bus for Demetri to drive over, un-freaking believable.

“Sabine won’t stay here tonight. I don’t give a damn what she did or didn’t tell anyone. You all have too much hostility towards her!”

We’ve all made mistakes, but I forgave them for each of theirs and now they’re acting like mine is so damning that it can’t be forgiving. Well, one is bad but other than that this is pettiness.
