When we arrived back at the mansion, there was a new Audi in the garage I hadn’t noticed before. It was a powder-blue color with chrome trim and wheels, along with a busted front end. Someone had been on an adventure.

Rachel bounced in her seat. “Nikki’s home. I’m so excited for the two of you to meet.”

After the morning I’d had, I wasn’t really in the mood to meet new people, but I didn’t think I really had a choice.

Maciah grabbed my hand as Rachel exited the car. “Can we talk?” he asked.

Rachel peered through the front window and continued on when neither of us moved.

“Sure,” I replied. Hopefully chatting with Maciah was better than meeting another Rachel. I liked the vampire, but I wasn’t sure I could handle two of her.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“I’m fine.”

He sighed. “No, you’re not, and that’s okay. Your personal space was invaded. Somewhere you thought was safe is no longer. That’s a big deal.”

Maciah was right, but I wasn’t going to tell him that.

“It’s really not. I move around a lot. I’m used to finding new places to stay. Though, I never expected a vampire nest would be one,” I joked, trying to keep the conversation light.

He squeezed my hand tighter. “You might not think I do, but I know enough about you, Amersyn. Not the little things that matter, but enough for me to tell you’re not okay. Up until now, the fight has stayed outside of your personal space. Now, it’s invading every aspect. That’s a lot to take in.”

I turned away from him, staring at the garage wall. Seeing my condo ruined and the gym burned? That was a lot. Accepting the fact that I was better off living with vampires than I was on my own? That was even more.

I wasn’t going to fight the changes, but that didn’t mean I was okay with them. Somehow, Maciah saw that, and I didn’t know how that made me feel.

Confused. Grateful. Annoyed. Intrigued. All of the above.

When I didn’t respond, he continued, “You’re safe here. I won’t let anyone get to you. Not even Silas or Viktor.”

“Why? I wanted to kill you.” I knew there was some magic juju that bound him into feeling responsible for me, but there was something more there. I wanted to know if he felt it, too.

His other hand cupped my cheek, turning my head until I met his stare again. “Because you’re special, Amersyn. Not just because you’re an heir, but because of who you are and what you’re fighting for. What you do means something. It’s not just about the vengeance that you deserve. There is a whole world of humans you’re fighting for. Maybe you don’t realize that yet, but I do, and I want to be part of that. With you.”

I leaned into his hand still on my cheek. Where I expected coolness, all I felt was warmth. Everything about him was different. His smell. His touch. The feelings he evoked within me.
