Chapter 15

Zaria:

It's with dread that I look around my home, drinking in every detail, absorbing smells and lingering scents as if trying to locate a visitor by odor.

It's become a habit, borne of my training with Jowendrhan and Venix.

None of this would have happened if Venix was still here. Why the heck did he have to find redemption when this world needs him to help maintain the balance?

Damn it all!

Stomping to the bathroom of my small home, I need to brush my teeth. I'm grateful I didn't decide to move in with Darise or this morning would be Hell boot camp, level one.

It's still early and I have time to pop out and get myself coffee, and ask Seithe to bring Phoebe over. I don't trust phones now, I'm feeling completely paranoid.

Morning sunlight makes the bathroom milky light, and I'm struck by my image in the mirror. Wow! I look phenomenal.

Sneaking closer, I automatically check the place where Zauran bit me. It looks like a tiny mark made up of an aqua circle with a dark dot in the middle in the same color.

Jeez, Jo made it sound like I had a fat welt from a brand the size of his fist on the side of my neck.

This looks like it could be henna, decoration, nothing significant or obvious at all. Satisfied, I set to brushing my teeth. Urgency is riding me over Phoebe's safety. Darise and his philandering bullshit can wait.

I swivel as I look at my reflection, running a tender hand over my flat stomach, wondering if there really are two little babies waiting in there now. Lifting his shirt, I press it to my cheek, really missing that morning hug and kiss from Zauran, The Magnificent.

I should phone him too.

Spitting and rinsing, I storm out of the bathroom, straight to the phone. My cell phone is still at his house, with my car!

“Hey babes,” I say, when he answers on the first ring.

“Zaria! Thank god! Where are you? Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Is Jo with you?–”

“Slow down,” I laugh at his obvious panic. “I'm at home. I'm about to head out to get myself some coffee. I'm fine. No one hurt me. But we're going to have to make a plan because you have my phone and my car.”

“I miss you! Fuck, I could gut the little shit for what he did.”

“Can I call you when I get home? You can come and rescue me so I don't have to see Darise at all today,” I say.

“Oh shit, yeah. Are you regretting last night then?”

“No! Not at all, not even a little bit. In fact I may have to keep this shirt of yours forever and ever to remind me of the night you turned my world inside out.”

“Which shirt are you wearing?” he laughs, low and sexy.

“It's charcoal with a skull on the front, with two glowing green eyes.”

“Oh I don't know, petal. I think I look a lot hotter in that shirt than you ever will.
