Chapter 8

Something jolted Selena awake. Confused, she sat up and looked around her darkened surroundings. Embers burned in a fireplace. The shadow of a piano stood to her right. This wasn’t her bed. This wasn’t her bedroom. This wasn’t her house.

Then it all came back to her in a rush. Mateo. Vampires. The balcony. The accident.

But as unbelievable and crazy as all of that was, it wasn’t what had woken her.

It was Paula. She’d forgotten about Paula.

Hearing the front door open, she jumped to her feet, heart pounding in her ears, and tiptoed across the room. She peered into the entryway, saw Mateo, and relaxed just a fraction.

“What’s wrong?” he asked, his eyes darting around. He was holding a grocery sack that he set on the entryway table. “Are you okay?”

“I’m just jumpy, that’s all. But I realized I never found out if Paula made it home okay.” Without realizing it, Selena had sent her employee—her sweet, lovable, and somewhat clueless employee—into the mouth of the dragon. If anything happened to her, if she didn’t come back… Selena closed her eyes, not wanting to go there. “I need my phone.”

“She’s not a sweetblood like you,” he said, handing it to her. “Chances are, she’s fine.”

That was only marginally reassuring. She looked at the phone and her heart sank. No cell service. “I have to go check on her.”

Mateo shook his head. “It’s almost daybreak.”

“I unknowingly sent her into danger, Mateo. I need to know that she’s okay. Now. If you can’t come with me because of the sun, I understand, so I’ll just go myself.”

Mateo glowered at her. “You’re not leaving this house alone until I’m convinced the threat to you has been eliminated. You might not understand what they’re capable of, but I sure as hell do.”

Not this again. “Mateo, please. She’s my responsibility. She went there because of me.”

He paced to the other side of the entryway, boots pounding angrily on the tile floor.

“We don’t even need to get out of the car,” she continued. “I just want to drive past her apartment and make sure she made it home. I’ll never forgive myself, or you for that matter, if I sit around and do nothing.”

He paused, then turned to face her, a look of resignation in his dark eyes.
