Chapter Eleven

CORYNNE

“Who the fuck are you?” I managed, my tongue thick in my mouth. My feet rooted to the earth, and there was nowhere to run as the man approached me with the ugliest smirk on his face. His glamour wasn’t strong enough to make me believe he was handsome. He may have been at one time, but too much time in the forest ruined him. Dirt streaked his porcelain skin and leather jacket, jagged fangs poked out under his curled lip. His eyes glowed red beneath his matted hair. No effing way would I get caught in the crossfire of those.

He chuckled as he circled me. I closed my eyes and thought of Nash. That beautiful kiss that I prayed to God wouldn’t be our last. But God had no jurisdiction over the man in front of me.

“You don’t remember me, Andrea?” He tried to touch my face, but I slapped his hand away. “Ooh. I see your vampire has yet to tame you. He’s not very good at that. I’m a perfect example. But with all the money he’s spending on you, I assumed he’d make it a priority.”

An image of Sabrina lying motionless on the ground flashed in front of me. No. I couldn’t let this vampire see me freak out. Instead, I tried to picture what happened to this man to make him so ugly, inside and out. “How’d you know my name?” The police could’ve talked to him since Nash had sent them in this direction.

He morphed again, this time a much smoother, cleaner version of himself. His hair slicked back, teeth white and even, suit perfect. I recognized him now. “You told me. The night you stood on stage, on full view for anyone to buy you.”

No way. I didn’t remember saying anything while I was on stage. If I did, he tricked it out of me. That had to be against the rules. Like this guy cared about following anything resembling a rule. He took advantage of my shock. “Your power sucked the air out of the room. We knew you had it before we were able to see you. It filled the building. We all wanted you, Andrea. That kind of power is a game changer. It can right a lot of wrongs. Or the other way around, depending on how you look at it. One thing you need to know about Nash, he doesn’t like to play fair. His power’s gone to his head. That’s his downfall. I wanted you because you’re smart enough to fear what you’re capable of.”

“You’re the one who tried to take me from him at the reception.” And Nash wouldn’t let him. I tried to picture Nash running out of the woods, ripping this asshole to shreds, but I couldn’t make it happen. I’d never feared my power more than I did right now because it failed me when I needed it the most.

“My name is Oscar. And it’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” Oscar held out his hand to me, but I didn’t take it.
