CHRISTOPHER Alexander Julian Sante did not have the ability to recognize someone by the scent of their blood alone like some other Chosen did. Nor did he have the ability to taste a person’s blood and tell their secrets, as he’d bluffed in Alejandro’s room.
But he still knew a lie when he saw one.
It wasn’t that the surgery that Daria Moran had undergone was ineffective. On the contrary, if he hadn’t at one time been so in love with Daria, he never would have been clued in to her true identity. She looked nothing like she had.
And he’d never suspected from the scent of them that they weren’t actually mates. In that area, they’d done a good job. She and Alejandro were probably sleeping together.
Still, there’d been no way for him to mistake Daria. None.
He entered his house and closed the door behind him. The guards had left him near the entrance of his property and he’d walked up the drive in the early morning, deep in thought. Making his way upstairs, he replayed the events of the evening in his mind.
At one time he’d fancied himself so incredibly in love with Daria Moran that he’d memorized every inch of her body, every whisper of motion she made— from the way she tilted her head to the side when she was interested in something to the little hitch in her breathing when she was aroused.
He’d been watching the couple from the shadows ever since they’d arrived. The surgery hadn’t changed Daria’s mannerisms—
the way she tilted her head, how her lips quirked in a smile, the exact way she gestured with her hands when she was upset or excited.
And he’d suspected.
Then last night at the party it had been one single movement of her right foot— an inch forward— as she shifted her weight just so. That gesture had cemented his suspicions even further. The movement had brought memories rushing back, filling his mind with Daria. The motion had been so her that it had made his heart ache.
And that was it. He’d arranged the visit to their room under the false pretense of the accusation in an effort to catch them unaware.
His intention had been to study Valerie closer, to put his suspicion to rest one way or the other.
How she’d shifted and sighed. The way her face had slackened when she’d grown aroused under Alejandro’s touch. How she’d moved and breathed— Daria. It was all Daria. It had brought the past crashing into him and even, for a fleeting moment, made him miss her, long for her.
He’d always known that Alejandro had wanted Daria. It had always been clear in the heat of his gaze when he’d looked at her that the man had coveted her. If the display they’d shown him just now was any indication, the lust was reciprocal. The heat that had come off Alejandro and Daria could scorch an observer at twenty paces. They were clearly having sex, at the very least.
Perhaps they were even in love.
