Chapter 16

Merrick climbed into the back of the Hummer where Luke was practically jumping up and down.

“This is so cool,” said Luke. “We’re going to break into a hospital so you can use your powers.”

“Technically,” Felix said from the driver’s seat, “we’re not breaking in. We’re visiting during visiting hours but the rest of that statement is true. You think you’re going to be able to get anything?” Felix directed that last question at Merrick.

“I won’t know until I get there,” he said honestly.

Joel sat silently in the passenger seat. Merrick tried not to watch him but he couldn’t help it. Once Sydney had returned with the pizza Joel had never left her side. As if he wanted to keep Sydney away from Merrick on purpose.

Stop being such a fucking asshole. That’s his girlfriend and he has every right to want to spend time with her.

Sydney might be Joel’s girlfriend but after Merrick’s conversation with Felix about Mirror Mates, Merrick was almost positive that Sydney was his.

Everything Felix had described had happened between them. A jolt through his system when they touched, an ache in his chest when they were apart, and an overwhelming need to be with Sydney — to taste her and touch her.

He bit back a groan of frustration as his cock hardened.

All these sensations couldn’t have been one sided. Sydney had to have felt them too, which begged the question: why didn’t she do anything about it? Did she not want Merrick as a Mirror Mate?

I thought you weren’t buying into this soul mate shit?

He sighed. He didn’t know what to think anymore. Was it too much to hope for a woman he could get close to and not have to fear her inner thoughts?

“You think Juliet and Hazel are all right?” Luke’s voice snapped Merrick out of his inner musings.

He glanced over at the kid and saw real concern on his face. “I’m sure they’re fine. I told Hazel to call if she needed anything. If she’s in trouble, we’ll know.”

Or at least he hoped so. Regina hadn’t shown her pretty little mug since they came to Southern California. He would have thought Vander would send her after him, or that she’d at least volunteer, but he hoped that not seeing her meant she was ordered to stay in San Francisco.

Luke nodded. “I miss them,” he mumbled.

Merrick blinked in surprise. He hadn’t thought their friendships had grown that strong, but then he remembered that all his time was spent with Sydney.

And look how attached you got to her.

“I’m sure they miss you too,” he said earnestly.

Some of the sadness left Luke’s face. “I bet they would have had fun going on this mission.”

Merrick felt like telling him that it wasn’t really a mission. They were walking into a hospital room, end of story. But he didn’t want to ruin Luke’s illusion.

They arrived at the hospital with a little less than an hour to “visit.
