“So you are my guardian du jour?” I wait for Ashton to reach me, glancing one last time in Melissa’s direction. Has he heard anything we said? Where had he been sitting? Just how sharp is vampire hearing?

“Ah, yeah, it’s my turn to guard you.” He smiles distractedly, stopping in front of me, shoving dark hair out of his eyes. A few strands catch on his ring. “Listen, can we talk? I…” He gazes down at me and his eyes go wide, then blank and unfocused. “Whoa. You’re wearing clothes. I mean… The clothes I bought you.”

“Yeah.”

“Holy fuck.”

Heat rises in my neck. “Ash… What do you want?”

“You,” he breathes. Then he blinks. “I mean, to talk about the Golden Moon. I found a reference to it in an old book.”

“Okay,” I say. “That’s promising.”

Or it might have been if I had any magic.

“I need to gather the others. Where is Jason? Ah fuck, I…” His gaze trails down my body, red starting to bleed into his irises. “You’re so damn pretty.”

A new wave of heat goes through me, pooling between my legs. “Thanks.”

Is this what flirting between a girl and a boy is like? It feels so normal and yet it’s something I hadn’t realized I’d been craving for years, listening to my cousin’s stories. To be seen, really seen by a gorgeous boy, to be told I’m pretty.

Even if this boy is a monster.

Even if I’m trying to destroy him.

He killed a girl, Melissa had said. And he’s been through a terrible accident but—focus on the murder, Mia. This is worse than you thought. These boys didn’t only put your cousin in a glass coffin, they put other girls in the ground, six feet under.

Your revenge is justified.

“Jason has Scale-ball training,” I say. “And I have PE.”

“Then I’ll escort you there and leave you with him while I hunt down the others.”

“I’m perfectly capable of waiting on my own. Listen—” I lift a hand before he lectures me. “I’m not stupid, okay? I know I can’t be left alone right now. But there will be people there. I’ll be fine. Let’s go.”

“You know, the Wicked Girls aren’t the only reason you need an escort,” he says, his eyes still tinged red.

“Oh?” I tug a little on the hem of my short skirt and his gaze darts there, following the movement. “Why?”

“With the way you look, woman, we need to protect you from the other boys, too. You look good enough to eat and everyone will want to take a bite.”

Worst vampire pun ever…
