For the first hour, my heart picked up its pace every time someone entered the shop. Each time, I expected to see the gorgeous dark angel who’d found me in the woods this morning. But she never came. Maybe she had no clue who I was after all. Or maybe she didn’t care.

Angels were supernatural and could fly, and they had super strength and other magical abilities, but their nose wasn't as sensitive as a wolf’s or a bear’s.

Maybe I was safe after all. Maybe I hadn’t needed to reveal my secret to Killian. In fear, I'd rushed to tell him, not wanting him to hear it from anyone else. Knowing what I was put him in so much danger, but I couldn't rewind and change the past.

But boy, I sure wished I could. That ability would have been so nice to have. My pack would still be alive, and I'd be with Dad, training for the day I took over the pack.

Someone cleared his throat, and I looked up to see a man who looked a few years older than me. "Are you okay, miss?" His sharp angular face brought out soft blue eyes that were full of concern. He pulled his wallet from his khaki pants and scratched his golden-brown hair. He had a regal presence to him, and he smelled like maple syrup, which screamed vampire.

"Yes, sorry." I forced a small laugh that sounded like a cough. "I spaced for a minute."

"Spaced?" His face lined with confusion.

"I was daydreaming." God, that sounded horrible. "But don't worry, it wasn’t about you." Come on, Sterlyn. Get your shit together.

The vampire laughed and handed me his credit card. "I asked for a black coffee."

"Of course." I inhaled deeply, forcing my body to relax. I took his card and swiped it and then hurried off to fill a cup.

I didn't even know vampires drank coffee. Obviously, they did, or he wouldn't be here, asking for it. Generally, the vampires we had encountered were focused on one thing—blood. We had to protect the nearby town several times because of vampire outbreaks. When a vampire lost their humanity, they turned deadly, draining humans to death, and the sun began to harm them. Each kill weakened their soul to the point where even the moonlight could hurt them.

As the cup filled, a rose scent hit my nose, and the sense of peace I'd found evaporated like the feeling had been a figment of my imagination.

My hands shook as I put the lid on the coffee. Freaking out would only make the situation worse. I turned, plastering a fake smile securely on my face, and handed the attractive man his drink. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, thank you." He winked and headed out the door, walking up to what had to be shifter. I kept my gaze on him, not wanting to meet her gaze.

Rosemary tsked as she propped her hip against the counter. "I'm thinking Killian wouldn't approve of you checking out Alex like that.
