CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Marcus called the team together to discuss who would attend the second meeting in the Veil with the Ancient Ones to coordinate how to defeat the goddess of war, the Morrigan. After discussing the meaning behind Zephra’s vision, their coven finally believed they were on the correct path, but they needed a solid plan to defeat this ruthless goddess, who they had yet to see in her true form.

Isabella rubbed her neck and adjusted her black knit sweater, rubbing her arms at the cold. Goose bumps exploded up her arms and she shivered. For a moment, she wished she could return to bed to sleep. Last night, her erotic dreams were full of the blasted vamp, and if anyone asked her again whether she was okay, she would scream or throttle them.

Heading for the coffee machine in the corner, she stuck a disposable cup underneath and poured herself a dark roast to the brim. The caffeine was the only bright glint on her horizon right now. Even using her usual remedy of lavender, vetiver, ylang-ylang, and wild orange in her diffuser did nothing to help her. Her bedroom smelled wonderful, but instead of letting her sleep, she tossed all night as the dreams became more intense. Shaking her head, she pulled her cup out from the Keurig, spun around and slammed into a rigid wall of muscle. The coffee spilled onto the ground and over Jake’s gray shirt.

“Shit, Sparkles, that’s hot.” Jake lifted his top and a bright-red circle formed on his washboard abs.

Isabella zeroed in on them, immediately embarrassed at her clumsy action and having hurt Jake. “I’m sorry. I wasn’t looking where I was going. Let me help you—you need to put some cold water on that burn.”

Jake’s bright-blue eyes stared at her long and hard. “You all right?”

His words held meaning and it jolted her. Since the dinner party, their relationship remained strained. He gave her the cold shoulder and to be honest, she avoided him, feeling uncomfortable with the persistent dreams.

“Me, I’m fine. But I’m glad we’re talking.”

“Look, I’m sorry about that, but we’re cool, right?”

“Yeah, we’re cool,” she said, not believing that to be the case.

“Only—you don’t look right, Sparkles.”

She knew she looked like hell. Did everyone have to keep reminding her? Anyway, what could she say, especially to Jake? I can’t sleep at night because the vampire prince invades my dreams and seduces me. Revealing the truth wouldn’t go down too well with him. And she had already stepped over the line, in his mind, interfering with Ella and Marcus. Trying to explain her situation would make matters worse.

“Look, I owe you a meal, Jake Meadows, and lately, well, everything has been shit. What with Steel being in a coma, Ella and Marcus at each other’s throats, it feels like what is going on is hitting us right here. How about after the meeting, you let me cook dinner, nothing fancy, but a meal for the two of us. What do you say?” She actually bit her lower lip, worried he might refuse.
