Chapter Ten

Intentionally blocking? I hadn't thought I was. Hell, I didn't even know I could. I looked at my hands and decided that they weren't clean enough. I shrugged my robe back into place as I stood.

Lucien blocked my way to the tiny little bathroom.

"Talk to me, Peter."

"Just let me wash my hands."

He reluctantly stepped aside, but followed me to the bathroom. I could feel his gaze as I soaped up

and washed. I was tempted to shut the door and sink into a corner to think it all out, but a simple

door wouldn't keep Lucien away. Nothing could keep Lucien away. If he couldn't get to me

physically, he'd do it by projection.

How did you bring something like this up? Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that I'm dying.

Lucien stepped up behind me as I dried my hands, wrapping his arms around my waist, resting his

chin on my shoulder. I leaned my head against his, sighing.

"I kinda lied to you by omission last night."

"I know. I could tell."

"Last night was just… Lucien, it was amazing. It was us; the way we used to be."

"Tell me what is going on."

"Doc says I've only got two, maybe three days left."

"For what?"

"For anything." I shrugged. "It seems I had Lycan gene cells in my body before I ever bonded with Xander. Dormant, of course, but the bonding and introduction of his blood did something to them.

Made them awaken and mutate and—"

"I don't understand. Two or three days? You're dying because of what's going on in your body?"

I nodded. "I still don't understand it all, but apparently there's some war for dominance between my body, the Lycan blood, and the vampire blood. Cells are mutating and becoming parasites, which in

turn explains the episodes and the partial shifts."

"But you have not had any." Lucien paused. "Today, you had something. As I slept. I felt your fear."

"I did. Doc said they'd be coming back soon, but that there was nothing else that could be done.

The only way to fix me…"

"Is to bring you over."

"That's what he says."

"I don't understand, Peter." Lucien was clearly aggravated. "You knew my wishes when you had this conversation with Doc, yet afterward, you didn't bother to tell me because you didn't want to

ruin the moment?"

"I'm sorry."

"Goddamnit, Peter! How could you not tell me about this? You know that I have to prepare days in advance with my own feedings. There are donors to line up for both of us, clean donors, not just

any-fucking-one off the street."

"I said I was sorry, I gave you my reason." I turned in his arms, pushing him away. "Now, let me out of here."

"I should lock you up just so I can keep track of you."

"Do it and you'll regret it."

He captured my face between his hands and tilted my head back. There was more worry in his

expression than there was anger and I hated that I'd put either look there. He kissed my forehead.

"We will handle this," he said gently. "It can't be done tonight because I'm not ready physically.
