âAh crap, now what?â I asked, starting forward again as Ja looked up, her petite frame and pretty face proving the cliché âyou canât judge a book by its coverâ accurate. âCome to ask for another favor? Would you like us to get you out of the shifter commune this time?â
She smiled, and I broke out in shivers. It wasnât a pleasant sentiment coming from her.
Darius glanced up as I came around the loveseat.
âGood evening, mon coeur,â Darius said, standing up out of respect, and then sitting down again as I did. âHow was your dinner?â
âVery rare.â I watched Ja closely. You just never knew when sheâd rush you, Iâd come to realize. âWhatâs this about? Trading pleasantries with friends?â
âYour wit never gets old,â Ja said, and though it wasnât said sarcastically, she meant it that way.
âWe were waiting for you, though Iâm not sure why.â Darius entwined his fingers with mine and then thought, She is up to something. Be on your guard.
âSheâs always up to something,â I said out loud, because that really wasnât a secret, and Ja didnât have any feelings to hurt.
Ja crossed one knee over the other, her pink satin gown very strange for a shifter compound, where the fashion of choice seemed to be a mountain-man style involving lots of plaid. Even Darius had dressed down to a less flashy look of jeans and a gray button-up. A little clutch sat on the ground next to her, and I wondered if sheâd just come from a ball or dinner party or something. I didnât mention that, though. I didnât need another comment about my wit.
âBeing that relations are somewhatâ¦strained between you and Vlad, Darius,â Ja began, âI thought you might want the truth of the past.â
What my father had said about Vladâs skeletons rattled through my brain.
âOf course,â Darius said after a brief pause, probably thinking along the same lines.
âThe nature in which you were made was a lie,â she said with a voice as silky as her dress.
I thought back to the story Darius had told me in Seattle, before I gave him blood for the first time. The memory was fuzzy, since it had happened before the vampire bond upgrade, but I recalled that heâd been besotted with a very beautiful woman. Heâd wanted to marry her even though it was a bad match for whatever reason. But she was a religious fanatic, and somehow she got it into her head that he was a vampire. Quite ironic, since she ended up playing a pivotal role in him becoming one.
Sheâd lured him with the promise of a secret rendezvous, only to have him killed when he showed up. The attackers didnât do the job properly, however, and he lay there for hours, near death. It was then Vlad had found him, apparently, and changed him into a vampire.
We hadnât talked about it since that night. Iâd honestly forgotten about it. Probably a dick thing to do, but in all fairness, Iâd had a lot on my mind.
