Nicole

“This cannot happen again,” he said, turning away.

Surprised by his behavior, I reached out and touched his arm. “Why? What’s wrong?”

“It’s too dangerous. Not just because of who your father is, but because you share the DNA of a very ancient vampire. Just a trace of the vampire poison would probably turn you.”

“But I’m fine. Nothing happened.”

When he looked back at me, he was smiling, but it was a sad smile. “We were lucky this time. I can barely control my urges when I am making love to you. It would be too easy to poison you through a wound. If my blood gets into your system -”

“Who is Donovan?” I asked.

“He is Omar’s brother. This is why he wants me to bring you to him. He wouldn’t want to risk drawing Donovan’s attention. If you go to him on your own, what could Donovan do? But he will take the risk, if I don’t bring you to him soon,” he added.

I was silent while I thought about this new twist to my situation.

Alec continued, “He offered to tell me what I want to know about the ancient secrets if I did. I told him I would consider it, but that was only to buy some time.”

“But if you brought me to him, it would not be of my own will,” I pointed out.

“But Donovan wouldn’t know that. If you went with me, it would appear as if you did. Your father probably has Watchers.”

I felt relief wash over me. Finally, I felt as if I could truly trust Alec. His heart was not cold. I knew that now. “Where can I find my father?” I asked.

“I don’t know. It’s been years since he’s come to New Orleans. He disappeared, but like I said, I’m sure he has followers watching you.”

“If he was so concerned, why did he leave?” I asked, my bitterness evident.

“He probably didn’t want his brother to know about you,” Alec told me as he was getting into his clothes. “If Omar can turn you and become your maker, you would be a powerful ally. Many of us that oppose Omar have suspected he was up to something but didn’t know what.”

“So his intention has never been to kill me, but to turn me?” I tried to wrap my head around this bizarre twist.

“That is what I suspect.”

“How did he find out?”

“You likely came to his notice because you were working with Ethan. It wouldn’t take much to put it together, considering you use Donovan’s name.”

Stepping closer to Alec, I wrapped my arms around his neck and lightly brushed his lips with a kiss. “Alec, I don’t want this to be all we have.”

Alec closed his eyes. “We can’t chance it.”

“But I think I’m falling in love with you,” I told him, unable to keep the tremble from my voice.

Alec’s eyes snapped open and he peered down at me with something akin to anger. “Don’t love me, Nicole. I am a vampire and you are human. We cannot have forever.
