Chapter 21

I am his.

And I am hers.

I think I felt a little bit of that on the day I saved them from execution. I can be honest with myself now and accept that there is no purification. Only a long, tortuous death.

Here I sit and wait, protected from my guilt by their claim, and I’m not comfortable with it necessarily, but it is easy. All I have to do is wait. Meanwhile, my ears give me hints of what’s happening outside.

They put the truck tailgate down. Something is hefted from the back, but evidence of this is brief. A creak as they climb in the back. Then a brushing sound as they move the body. And a quiet, gasping moan from that person.

I will not lie to myself anymore about the nature of the world. And I will not keep my old beliefs, either about God or about what human Brian wanted from me. I am an observer and a child of the present only.

There may be more than one person, as all four vampires walk to one of the trailers in the back. If they can fly, there’s little reason for them to go so slow unless they’re carrying prey. Conversation is short.

“How is he?” Evelyn asks.

“Getting better, I hope. It is difficult to say how long it will last. His first sight is intact, but his trauma overrides it, I think. He is very confused.”

“With good hunting, he shall be well fed,” Darius says. “I am glad we can do that much for him.”

“Yes. And he does eat. Voraciously. He may turn out healthy.”

“You should’ve seen him try to fly though,” Sam says with a snort. This is accompanied by the sound of a door opening. Nothing more is said until they return.

Evelyn rushes to me, and I smile for her since she is so worried about me. Her dress has a new spot on it that I notice right away. When she hugs me, I tilt my nose to it and inhale.

It smells heavenly, and I have the urge to bite her dress and suck it into my mouth.

I am not confused.

At least, not the physical part of me. I never was, not even as a human. Brian’s body always knew it wanted a man. It’s the self that was programmed to be confused and ashamed.

I put my arms around her, and don’t let myself ponder who she might have killed tonight.

“Oh, love, I’m so glad to see you looking healthy.” She pulls back and pinches one of my cheeks. “Oh! Your blush. So beautiful.” She bumps noses with me. “What have you and Zane been up to, hm?”

I tell her a little bit and Zane fills in the rest.

“Good. I worried the whole time we were gone. I almost ditched Darius and came right home. Hunting was terrible. Edmund’s latest attack has all the young, pretty ones staying inside. But Darius persisted, and we caught two of the most beautiful—”

“Evelyn!” Zane hisses, and grabs my arm like I might run or strike her or something.
