Chapter Ten

Nika dialed Erik’s number, but the call went straight to voice mail. She bit her lip. Why did I listen to Tamara? She knew that her doubts had hurt him deeply and all she wanted was to make amends. She tried again, but again he failed to pick up. She swore and tossed the phone back into her purse.

Tamara was on a plane already, flying from America to Sweden. She couldn’t have reached her if she’d tried. The thought that she might have ruined things with Erik haunted her, and she wished he’d pick up the phone. She put her head into her hands and began to weep.

A moment later, a groggy male voice asked, “Rune Master, why are you crying?”

She gasped and turned to look at the couch. She had almost forgotten that Dominic was there, and now he was looking at her, his amber eyes cloudy, his face pale. He struggled to sit up as she wiped her cheeks.

“I… it’s personal.”

He nodded slowly. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to pry.”

She waved her hand at him. “It’s okay. It’s not … what happened to you?”

The Ulfen rubbed his hand over his neck, and he said, “One of your vampires happened to me.” He looked at his hand as if he expected it to be bloody, then dropped it into his lap. His expression took on an edge of shame and embarrassment. “She said her name was Elke.”

“Ah. That’s right. Erik told me.” She went to the bar and poured a glass of whiskey, which she brought to him. “Drink this. It might help.”

He sniffed the liquid suspiciously, then shook his head. “No, thanks. I don’t think I need alcohol right now.”

“Water, then?”

“Sure.”

Nika went to bar and got a glass of Perrier for him. He accepted it when she brought it back. He sipped it, then grimaced at the mineral burn. She sat beside him.

“You were with Mia.”

“Yes.” He leaned back, slouching on the sofa, the glass cradled in his hands. “I was trying to help her hide from the vampires in Paris, and we got separated. They found her, shot me, and then I was picked up by some Russian named Vladimir.”

She raised an eyebrow. “Interesting…”

“He healed me, then sent me on my way with new clothes.”

“Why Paris?”

“That’s where she wanted to go. I don’t know why. I wanted to get off the train in Cologne, but I couldn’t leave her.” He looked down into his glass. “Maybe I should have.”

“Do you know where they took her?”

Dominic shook his head. “No, and everybody can stop asking me. I volunteered to protect her because I’m an idiot. She didn’t lift a finger to help me. Now I’m back here in Sweden, and I just wanted to get the hell away…” He looked at her. “Ulfen aren’t very welcome in Stockholm, you know.”

Nika tried to look sympathetic and encouraging. “I know… why don’t you go back to your pack?”

He grimaced. “No, thank you.”

“Can werewolves even survive without a pack?”

“This one will.” He put the glass aside and rose unsteadily.
