Chapter Thirteen

On the tenth day of camping in the bunker, Diego took Sera to see Blake. Diego kept hold of her hand, perhaps sensing her fear and uncertainty. Ten paces away from the wall of hanging blankets, he stopped and turned to her. “Ready?” he asked.

“What if he doesn’t know me?”

“We don’t lose any human memories when we’re made,” Diego assured her. “Of course he will know who you are.”

“You barely remember being human,” Sera pointed out.

“Because that was six hundred years ago,” he replied. “Human memories fade over time, that’s all.”

She bit her lip, looking at the blankets and imagining what was on the other side. “What if he wants to...feed?”

“He just fed. You’re quite safe,” Diego told her. He picked up her other hand. “What’s really bothering you, Sera?”

It took all her courage to speak the words. “What if he doesn’t love me anymore?” Then she pressed her lips together, to stop herself from saying anything more about the wild fear that had been building in her for the last few days. When she considered the fear deliberately and logically, she felt foolish. That didn’t stop it from growing, anyway. She could imagine walking in to face him and Blake looking at her blankly, with wariness in his eyes. Or he would dismiss her as a stranger beneath notice, a mere elf. Or the very worst would be if he treated her as the mortal enemy elves had once been to vampires. What if all his new vampire instincts had brought to flower the old enmity?

Diego brushed her hair off her face with a gentle motion. “There’s only one way to find out,” he said softly.

She had expected him to dismiss her concerns as pure foolishness, only he hadn’t. “It’s just…without him, I have one less thing to anchor me here. One less excuse to stay.”

“If they ever try to take you back, my sweetest love, they would learn how truly angry I can become.”

Her heart gave a little shiver. “Diego….”

He shook his head, his black eyes staring into hers. “No one will ever succeed in forcing you to go anywhere, Séreméla. Not while I can still draw breath.” He grinned. “They can try and if they do, I will enjoy explaining it to them.”

“The warriors can be very…persuasive,” Sera told him. She had seen them deal with reluctant elves before. Amrod’s shock troops were ruthless.

“I’ve been told I am that, too,” Diego said, with a little shrug. “My love, you do not understand. If anyone was ever to try to bend you against your will, then the depth and length of my anger would set the furies themselves back on their heels. A few elvish warriors would not keep me from you.”

It was hyperbole, the stuff of fantasy, the idea that Diego could defeat a troop of elvish warriors, except Sera knew he was perfectly serious. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed her face against his.

Diego held her tightly. “No one gets to fuck with you, Sera.
