Chapter Fourteen

Only a truly insane woman would have left Kyle and Liam alone in the apartment with them glaring at one another and itching for a fight.

I am not an insane woman. I send them both packing—Kyle to the bar even though Mikey is already set to open up, and Liam to wherever the hell he goes when he isn’t with me. I’ve never asked. And I don’t really care to right now. I am glad he is back, but also beyond pissed that he’s kept the little detail of my arranged marriage to himself.

Kyle pulls out of my driveway in the Thunderbird just as I’m crossing the street. We wave and he slows down so that I can walk to the driver’s window for another goodbye kiss, but we are thwarted by Terrance’s voice booming out to me from behind Leslie’s house.

I shrug, Kyle looks sullen. But duty calls.

This duty, unlike marrying Oran, Light Prince and Son of the Golden one, is one I’m happy to perform. You can’t say no to the Prince of Light, Victoria.

Get the hell out of my head, Liam.

Looking around, I try to see where he’s hiding, but he’s nowhere to be found. Not even in the trees above my head.

I don’t have to be near you to talk to you. I’m not in the trees. His laugh floats through my mind and sends chills rolling down my arms. I quickly lower my face so I’m not staring at the changing colors of the leaves above.

And then I push, with all of my might, to eject him from my mind. I feel it when he goes, like wind rushing through my brain.

I catch sight of Leslie speaking with Steve. They’re standing on the porch of her house. I wave at her, but she’s too distraught to wave back. I wonder if she’s the one that found the body.

“Thanks for answering.” Terrance waves a hand, indicating to the officer in front of me to let me pass. I don’t recognize him. The new guy I guess. The one that replaced Darryl. He’s small, about my height, with baby blonde hair and pale brown eyes. A spattering of freckles dots his nose. He looks so young, too young to be a cop.

I say hi as I go by, but the man ignores me. Maybe he doesn’t think a civilian should be called to a crime scene. Great. I felt like shit that Darryl had died, but he and I had butted heads like hateful siblings. It looked like his replacement wasn’t going to be much better. I throw him a glance over my shoulder just before getting to Terrance’s side.

“What’s his problem?”

Terrance looks past me at the officer who’s standing with his back to us. “Don’t mind Timothy. He’s green and this was his first body. He shouldn’t have been out on patrol alone yet. I’ve got to have a few words with Steve. He was closest, answered the call. I didn’t handle it well as a seasoned cop, so I can’t imagine what he’s feeling.
