CHAPTER 12

Not even giving me a moment to respond, Reed began sprinting down the hallway. I just continued standing in my bedroom doorway, stock-still except for sudden full-body trembling making me move almost imperceptibly. Beyond being stunned by what was happening, I felt almost literally frozen with fear. Fear and something else. Anticipation, maybe. Anticipation mixed with something like horror.

Everything I was now feeling was a direct result of realizing that everyone in Somerset might be slaughtered, including Reed. And I knew I couldn’t let that happen.

I’d been a fool to ever think that there was even a chance that I could just sit back and not fight. I knew now that the idea was ridiculous. Ridiculous when the lives of many innocent people were at stake, and when I had a skill that could possibly save people, including the father of my baby. Sure, I knew that Reed could more than handle his own in a shifter fight, but this didn’t make me feel any better about his chances of decidedly coming out on top in his weakened state.

I only remained frozen for a few seconds, with my body perfectly still but my mind racing. Then, with some unseen force seeming to be willing my body to move, and move fast, I began flying down the hallway, chasing Reed.

“Reed, stop! Please just wait!”

In the span of just a few seconds, just the short amount of time I’d remained standing in the doorway, he’d made it down the long hallway, then down a shorter hallway that led to the stairs. I caught him on the landing, where he’d seemed to have momentarily paused, hearing my shouts.

“Please, hold up a second, Reed. Please just wait.”

He'd turned to me with a scowl, and now he scowled even harder as I took a second to gulp a deep lungful of air before speaking.

“Look. I know the Bloodborn are coming, and there's no time to waste, but I just want you to hear me out before you go. I-”

“Samantha, I need to go join my men now. At the rate they’re going, Gerard and his men will be approaching village limits within ten minutes or so, if not sooner, and I-”

“I know. I completely understand. You need to get out there with your men. But just listen to me. Please. Ten seconds. All I want to say is that I want you to promise me that you’ll give us a chance after all this. I just want you to promise that, because I know that you’re going to survive… and when you do, I want there to be hope for us.”

Reed snorted, glowering. “I’m already in a weakened state. Do you want me to become further weakened by falling in love with you? I’m not going to lie; I could do it very easily. In fact, I think something changed in my heart the night that we slept together, and I didn’t like it. Since then, I’ve had dreams about dying in battle, with you always in the background.
