Looking visibly relieved, he nodded. “I appreciate that. Truly, I am sorry for my silence.”

I pursed my lips and kept the snarky comment I wanted to make trapped between my teeth. I’d decided to move forward. Telling Julian that I thought he was full of shit wouldn’t be helpful.

Luca snapped the book he was eyeballing shut. He projected a disaffected air that I was pretty sure was an act. I nibbled my bottom lip, thinking about our intimate moment in the Hereafter. Those skilled fingers. That soft mouth. Heat suffused my cheeks. He gave me a small, knowing smile.

I cleared my throat. No way was I discussing my relationship, or whatever it was we had going, with Julian there.

First, I needed one nagging question answered. “How did the Jiang Shi attack me in the Hereafter?”

Luca frowned and crossed his arms. “Sneaky bastard slipped a thorn either into your clothes or shoes. Once you arrived, it planted itself and stayed undercover until the right moment presented itself. I have alerted the realm’s guardians of the hole in their defenses.”

“I imagine they weren’t pleased,” Julian said.

“No. That is an understatement.” He stared at Julian for a moment as if he wanted to say more.

I balled my fists, nails digging into my palms. Not only had that thing slipped me a supernatural Trojan horse, it nearly succeeded in using me to kill Luca. “Any ideas why the Jiang Shi keeps attacking us?”

“Perhaps. While you were otherwise occupied, I took the liberty of searching available records. We already know that the Jiang Shi is someone’s vengeful ancestor. The Chinese believe that homage must be paid to the deceased, otherwise they will be displeased and haunt you in this life,” Luca said.
