Chapter 19

Intrigue.

My strained muscles began relaxing as I stood in the shower, the warm water surging over my aching body. For some reason I knew that I was safe. Jasper was asleep, wounded and trapped. He was hiding something from me, but I didn’t want to think about that now. I was tired of violence. I closed my eyes imagining Nathaniel’s fingers tracing my body in the warm water, whispering calming words into my ear. I was alone, a hundred miles away from him, but every time I brought memories of us together my heart betrayed me. Without judgment I wanted him with me, shielding me from all my problems and worries. Flashes and memories of Paris, Brighton, and the time that we spent in his apartment collided in my mind. Nathaniel wasn't right for me in everyone else’s eyes, but for me, I knew he was the one. My love for him hadn’t faded.

I found a fluffy robe hanging on the door and wrapped it around my body tightly. Jasper was completely out, and I was glad, not glad that he was injured, but because I didn’t have to deal with him. Earlier I took care of the deep wound on my back, covering it with thick crocodile paste. My other injuries were minor, only a few scratches and cuts. I grabbed my phone from my bag and switched it on.

The text messages started coming through. Most of them were from Kelsie who wanted me to call her as soon as possible. She knew that I was out of town, but she thought that I was visiting Grandma. It was nearly midnight, but Kelsie was awake. As a shifter, she didn’t need eight hours of sleep like humans.

"Julia! What’s wrong? Why didn’t you answer earlier?" she asked.

"I'm fine, still alive. I'm with Jasper and he was battered quite badly."

"I don’t care about that bastard."

"My magic is getting better and better." I chuckled.

"Listen, I need to tell you something," she said, probably forgetting that most of the time my magic was all over the place. "I saw your hot ex today at work."

I rolled my eyes, wondering why she wanted to talk about Nathaniel. She knew that I wasn't quite over him yet. She worked at La Caz Pharmaceutical and I expected her to see him in the corridors now and again.

“That's normal. Do we really have to talk about him?"

She made a growling sound into the phone.

"This is fucking important, Julia, so stop pretending like you don’t care," she hissed. "Your fine piece of arse was talking to someone on the phone and I accidentally overhead him."

Kelsie was determined to give me the whole run down about his latest affairs. I took a deep breath and glanced back at Jasper to make sure he was still out.

"Come on, give it to me straight. I'm ready. He’s dating that witch, but he isn’t ready to marry her, right?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone.

"What are you talking about? What witch?" she asked, confused.
