Chapter 18

I closed the book with more force than I'd intended on using and then regretted doing so. I'd been right to be scared of what this journal had contained, but I didn't want to destroy it. Three hundred year-old books weren't exactly indestructible.

Still, I wasn't going to go back and read more of the entries—assuming any of them were even in English—anytime soon. I didn't need the last version of me messing with my head any more than she already had. I needed to get back to Jace and Kat, and I needed to read one of my more recent journals, something from the time when Jace and I had been happily in love. Only now I was wondering if we'd really been as happy as I'd initially thought.

Jace had as much as warned me that he'd always been the one who pursued me. What if I'd just settled for him after I'd realized that I was never going to be able to make things work out with the new, darker Kyle?

It was all too much for my seventeen-year-old brain. I should be worrying about who was going to take me to prom and how I was going to be able to afford the dress I wanted, not contemplating choosing between two guys I had hundreds of years of history with.

I took a deep breath, maybe to scream, maybe just because I thought it would calm me down, and then I realized that Kyle's breathing had changed. Even before I turned my head to look I knew he was awake, but I turned to make sure. Perfect, soft gray eyes looked back up at me. I felt my skin go hot from embarrassment and started to move my hand away from his bare skin, but he trapped it against his stomach with his hand.

"How long have I been out?"

"I'm not positive. I think it's been two days. How much do you remember?"

I tried to keep my voice calm, but my heart was trying to pound its way out of my chest. It was hard to know how much of that was from the thrill of touching him, and how much of it was concern over whether his fever had caused some kind of brain damage.

"I'm not sure, it's still coming back to me. We…we were fighting outside of the…third ward?"

I nodded and he continued. "We were doing pretty well until a pooka and some kind of flying monkey snake showed up. You used a peak memory to burn a big piece out of Fenrir and then both of us burned additional peak memories to kill Fenrir, but not before he got his teeth on me."

I wasn't sure how to interpret Kyle's response so far. It had seemed pretty promising until he'd called the smallest Unseelie fae a flying monkey snake. Maybe he really had lost chunks of his memory due to running such a high temperature.

Luckily Kyle hadn't noticed my concern. "I remember healing myself and realizing that I'd been poisoned.
