SEVENTEEN

I SAT THERE in shock, surrounded by my lover, and what—a demon?

What exactly did chosen mate entail? And that was just the first wave of confusion. More came as I remembered everything else Dante had said . . . everything he had been called.

Queen killer.

I had ignored Dante’s words during our capture, putting it down to the most outrageous and creative bit of lying I’d ever heard.

Everything I said is true.

I remembered his other wild, incredible claim: that I was this supposed Mona Lyra reincarnated. And that he had been the one to kill Mona Lyra.

Queen killer . . .

And that I—Mona Lyra—had taken his father’s life and cursed Dante with my dying breath.

It was a tale crazier than the most bizarre Greek tragedy. Unbelievable.

Everything I said is true . . .

“Do you wish me to leave?” Dante asked, snapping me out of the long silence I had fallen into.

Why did you leave me? I had asked him. And his answer: Because you desired that I go.

“If I say yes, what will you do?” I asked. “Jump out of the helicopter into the sea?”

“Yes, if you wish.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, Dante.” My slight smile seemed to surprise him. “I’m not giving you up after all the trouble I just went to. The only way I’ll let you leave is if you want to. Do you?” I asked quietly.

“No.”

“Good, because I’m not sure I could give you up even then.” I wrapped my hand around his and felt his broad fingers close around my slimmer ones. “We’ll have to talk more about all those things you said, and fill in all those gaps in my memory, but going by my actions, I don’t think they’ll be insurmountable. In the end, I came after you, didn’t I?”

“How much memory did you lose?”

The question, and voice, drew my attention back to Halcyon. “A pretty large gap. The last thing I remember is working as a nurse in Manhattan. Nothing after that. Not even moving out of the city.”

“How do you feel?” Halcyon asked with calm, focused intensity.

“Fine—no injuries. Everything’s healed.” I was more aware of him now. Aware of a faint sensing of his presence, and an odd lack of sound and movement that I suddenly accounted for with a rapid skittering of pulse. He wasn’t breathing. Nor were there any heartbeats, none that my sensitive ears could discern. I sat there listening for a long time in vain. I was incredibly tired but on edge, finding, despite my lethargy, that I was simply unable to fall asleep next to someone who didn’t have a heartbeat.

We landed at the heliport in Cancun International Airport and found Chami awaiting us there.

“Milady, forgive me. I know you don’t remember us but . . .” The slender, curly-haired fellow who had displayed the alarming knack of turning invisible swept me up in an unexpected hug. “It’s good to have you back,” he said, releasing me. The man was much stronger than he appeared.

It was an odd thing being embraced so warmly by someone who was essentially a stranger to me.
