Chapter 12

After Owen left, Tristan and I sat on the balcony while I caught him up on my life. I told him about being bedridden for several months while pregnant, and he asked about the delivery. I explained as best as I could. Dorian had been a preemie, arriving after a long, painful labor and birth—I passed out for part of it—followed by the heavy disappointment of no baby girl. Tristan pulled me into his lap and held me while I wept about it again.

I’d cried a lot today for someone who was supposed to be so happy now. My emotions ran wild, almost like Swirly still messed with me from a distance. At least I had an explanation now—the Ang’dora caused the havoc with my mind and my emotions.

Once the tears dried, I remained in his lap as we talked about my books—he said he’d read them all in the week he’d been back in the real world—and all the events that went along with them. I couldn’t tell him a whole lot because my recollection was hazy, but he asked questions to jog my memory.

“Your fans love you and the books. There are tons of sites on the Internet,” he pointed out.

“Yeah, I guess. I haven’t paid much attention to them in a long time. Sometimes they were rude and insensitive, and I couldn’t take it. There was this one girl, though—her name is Sonya, if I remember right—and she was my ‘biggest fan.’” I wiggled my fingers to make air quotations. “She followed us to every signing, release party, and interview. I never had any particular bad vibes from her, but she worried my agent and publicist, so they took out a restraining order against her.”

His hand trailed up and down my leg. “I saw her posts online. She doesn’t hold it against you. She’s still very fond of you.”

“Well, that’s a relief. I always felt kind of bad about the whole thing.”

“Don’t feel too badly. She is a little . . . fanatic. Her posts greatly outnumber everyone else’s, which is why she stood out to me. And she’s determined your characters are real. She’s more fascinated with the lore than you are.”

I groaned. “I hope she doesn’t dig too deeply and find out just how right she is.”

He chuckled. “I wouldn’t worry about it. People have been interested in vamps for centuries. The bloodsuckers tend to stay away from them.”

“Really? Why? I thought it would be the opposite—they’d want to get rid of the curious.”

He shrugged. “They can’t get rid of them all, and they tend to be friends with each other. So as soon as there are signs one has been the victim of a vampire, there are Normans out looking for them, either wanting to become one or wanting to kill them. They make life a little difficult for the vamps . . . the hunting is easier, but that brings more attention.”

“Oh. Well . . . I guess that’s good for Sonya.”

He nuzzled his face against my neck.
