After Declan is finished, I shower quickly and change into fresh clothes. I let my hair dry naturally, then toss it up into a loose ponytail. I throw on some eyeliner and mascara with a touch of lip gloss. Then I put on my black Chucks and head downstairs.

Declan’s already left with Ciera. I’m sure there’s a lot of training getting done. Yeah right. Knowing my brother, he’s probably trying to make out with her. I shudder and stop that train of thought from going down a dark and dirty path. I open the front door as Luna is reaching out for the door handle.

“Hey, Aria.” Her voice sounds strained.

I step aside as she walks in and sets her stuff down on the couch. Then she continues toward the kitchen. I turn around and follow her.

Okay…

“Everything alright?” I ask, leaning my hip on the doorframe.

She grabs a glass, then walks over to the pantry and pulls out a bottle of wine.

“Rough day?” I quirk a brow.

She doesn’t spare me a glance as she uncorks the bottle, pours herself a glass, then chugs almost the whole thing in one gulp. I raise both eyebrows as she pours herself another.

“You could say that. Alexander told me what happened today, and I spent the rest of the day making sure our wards protecting the Compound were still up. If a vampire got in, I’m clueless as to how.” She sighs and takes another hefty sip. “Anyway, you headed to see Grace tonight?”

“Yeah, I was just on my way out. But if you’re up later, I would like to talk to you. I have some questions.” I shove my hands in the pockets of my shorts.

“Oh. Yes, of course, sweetheart. I have a feeling I’ll be up all night. We can talk later. Have a good session with Grace.”

I study her for a moment longer, then turn to leave.

I walk down to Grace’s cabin, ignoring the stares from the neighbors, mostly from old ladies. Guess I’m still the town topic. Thankfully it’s not as hot as it was earlier, because the sun is starting to set and the twinkling lights are just starting to glow. I don’t think I will ever stop being amazed by those.

I reach Grace’s cabin and walk up the steps. I knock on the front door, but I hear nothing. So, I knock again even louder, and that’s when I hear a feminine giggle and a husky groan. My eyes widen as I realize that I may have just interrupted sexy time between Grace and Knox. Just before I start to turn and walk away, the door opens and Grace is standing there. Her face is flushed and she’s pulling the sleeve of her cardigan up on her shoulder.

“I’m sorry, I can come back later.” I point behind me with my thumb.

“Don’t be silly, sweetie. Come on in.” She steps aside and motions for me to come inside.

I hesitate for a moment before slowly stepping through the doorway. She closes the door behind me, then walks past me, motioning for me to follow her.
