CHAPTER 13

My speed was over the top and made my chest burn with its force as I curved around the house. Though, I didn’t have time to decipher what the changes meant, because Maciah had some guy pinned against a tree.

The newcomer’s hands were up in surrender. He was wearing dark jeans and a plain white tee, more casual than the vampires I was used to seeing. His hair was longer and dark blond, falling just above his shoulders and pushed back behind his ears.

His eyes were the same mahogany I was used to seeing in Maciah’s nest, but I didn’t recognize him. I stepped forward with caution as I listened in on their conversation.

“What are you doing here? I’m not going to ask again,” Maciah snarled.

“I saw what happened in Portland. I had to make sure she was okay,” the guy answered.

“You had no reason to do that. She’s my responsibility,” Maciah said.

She who? Me? I didn’t know this guy, so I wasn’t so sure, but Maciah was protective of whoever he was talking about.

“Come on, Mac. You know I had no choice. She was better off, but I couldn’t completely walk away.”

Mac? That was a new name for Maciah and seemed pretty personal.

“You made a choice, Bennett. Live with it and leave before you cause more harm,” Maciah demanded with Zeke and Eddie flanking him.

Oh. Bennett. Nikki. Shit. I hoped they hadn’t followed me.

I moved to race back around the house, but I was too late. Nikki and Rachel had turned the corner, and I couldn’t stop what was about to happen.

Nikki froze for a moment and gasped, the sound loud enough that Bennett heard her. The pained look on his face told me he still very much cared about my friend, but he was an idiot either way.

I blurred until I was in front of Nikki, holding her arms. “You can walk away and be done with him. Or you can talk to him. This is your decision, and I’ll make sure you’re supported no matter what you choose.”

Nikki had unanswered questions about why Bennett disappeared on her five years ago. She hadn’t let him go, and if seeing him now would give her closure or whatever she’d been missing, then she deserved for that to happen. Regardless of what anyone else thought.

Nikki was still staring past me. “I need a minute, but I’d like to talk to him if he’s staying.”

“Oh, he’s staying until you say you want him gone,” I replied.

Nikki nodded and disappeared toward the house. I turned to Rachel. “Was that the right thing?”

“Absolutely. Maciah and Zeke won’t agree. They watched how hurt Nikki was, and even though Maciah doesn’t show emotion very often anymore, I know it pained him when Bennett left, too.”

Rachel was right. Maciah hadn’t expressed in detail how he’d felt back in the hotel room, but he’d opened up enough about that time of his life, and I was glad to know I’d been right that the vampires had
