Chapter 20

The parking lot wasn’t as crowded as it had been on the weekend, but Angel’s limo was still parked out front.

I entered Heartbeat, ignoring the guard at the door asking me to stop. He placed his hand on my shoulder, beginning to pull me back. Instead of fighting the tug, I gave into it, pivoting on my back foot and slamming my other leg into his chest in a powerful round kick. He crashed into the doors. The music stopped and everyone’s eyes were on me as I marched down the stairs towards Angel’s table.

He whispered something to the lady on his lap. She jumped to her feet and hurried away, glancing back at me.

“Briar, what can I—”

“I need some Scorpion's Breath. Now.” The words barely left my mouth before pain seized my chest again. I clutched it, trying to catch my breath.

“Of course, love. Whatever you want.” Angel stood and motioned those around us to continue what they were doing. Music began to play again and conversations continued. He reached into his breast pocket to retrieve my sanity.

After popping off the top, he slid his other hand up the back of my head, his fingers entwining into my hair. He jerked my head back.

I welcomed the pain it caused.

Raising the vial to my lips, he poured the liquid into my mouth. “Drink, my love. Let it take away the pain you feel.”

I closed my eyes and swallowed the liquid as the last of my tears ran down the sides of my face.

“Dance with me.” Angel ran his hand down to my hip, leading me towards the dance floor.

I didn’t resist and followed blindly. It was in this moment I remembered I had Scorpion’s Breath hidden at home. Why had I come here? Why to Angel?

The music changed to something dark and slow, a beat that numbed my mind. I rested my head on Angel’s shoulder. His hand moved around my back, and he gently swayed me to the beat. I could no longer feel the floor beneath my feet or smell the vampires in the room. The pain in my chest was gone. I melted into his arms.

He leaned down, bringing his mouth to my ear. “Tell me who’s caused you this pain. I hate to see you suffer.” His words warmed the skin on my neck.

“They killed him,” I whispered. “My best friend. Gone. Dead. Beaten. Tortured.”

“Who, love? Who would do such a thing?”

“I did.” The room faded away and in its place was a storm. Lightning cracked. Thunder shouted.

“You killed your best friend?”

“Jackson. Greybacks. I didn’t mean to …” I hitched in several breaths until I pulled in a deep one. “And Dominic. They are monsters.”

“Shhh,” he cooed. “It doesn’t matter right now. All will be made right. I’ll see to it. Let the Scorpion take you away. His poison cures even the most brokenhearted.”

“Yes.” I collapsed in his arms. My mind shut off and I existed in the storm while it battered me on all fronts.
