Chapter Twelve

The villa was bustling with activity when Terek arrived, the sights and sounds of a happy household surrounding him. The fragrant smell of lamb roasting filled his nose, and the warm feeling of home filled him. As he looked around his house, he was happy. This was what life should be like.

A good meal and the comforts of home would have to wait, however. He was a man with a plan, a man on a mission. Whatever it took, he'd find the answer to why he couldn't read Ilona's thoughts. Once that problem was solved, figuring out how to deal with her would be so much easier, and they could move on to far more pleasurable times together.

"Terek, when did you get back?"

Jasmine pressed a kiss onto his cheek and smiled. "You look happier than I've seen you in far too long. Good news with the Sons?"

"Yes, but that's not only what's improved my mood. I'm taking Ilona to Morocco. I think it will do her good."

Terek and Jasmine walked arm and arm toward the family room as he explained his plan to turn things around with his newest vampire. Not only would his efforts reveal what was in her mind that was blocking him, but he'd keep her out of reach of the hunters tracking Sampson's vampires. If they thought he'd succeeded in turning her, they'd be looking for her.

"It sounds as if you've thought this all out, Terek."

He'd seen the skeptical look on her face before. "You don't believe I have?"

"Oh, I do. But if she's the one meant for you, as I suspect she is, reading her thoughts will be little more than a way to stroke your ego."

"Why is it everyone keeps referring to her as 'the one' as if you can see it but I can't?"

Jasmine smiled knowingly. "You can't see it? How your eyes are so much brighter since you brought her here? Don't tell me you haven't felt something different with her. I know you have."

"It's called frustration. I don't think I've ever met anyone who fought me like she does."

Jasmine pulled him to her side. "It's called she's the one you've waited for all these years. I feel it in my bones, and admit it, you do too."

"If only she was like you, Jasmine, I wouldn't need to read her mind."

"You rely too much on that gift, Terek, and now you've run into a woman whose thoughts you can't use to your advantage. Has it occurred to you that this is a good thing?"

Jasmine and Terek stopped in the hall outside the family room, but before he could argue his point that his gift, as she called it, was a good and not a bad, he was bombarded with another's thoughts. Looking left and right, he searched for Carlie, whose thoughts flooded into his mind. She appeared at the far end of the hallway for a moment and quickly vanished from sight when she saw him.

By the time he caught up with her, her expression was riddled with guilt.
