Chapter 10

I felt betrayed, lonely, and worthless. Blake hadn’t called or texted me once after I saved his ass, putting my own on the line and I was loth to think about why, but it seemed that detail was all my brain was capable of focusing on.

Gabrielle was going to die tonight and that would probably strain what was between Blake and I even farther, the question I didn’t know the answer for, was would that snap us apart or bounce us back together?

At eleven p.m., I received a text from a number I didn’t know, giving an address and nothing more. Plugging it into my GPS, I smiled at the remote location Gabrielle had chosen. No one would hear his screams.

My wrist was still raw from the encounter with the snakes and I called Grams on my drive out to Gabrielle.

“Everything alright?” she asked tensely. Of course Ali and Grant had told her what had happened.

“It will be soon enough,” I answered.

“Are you going to kill him?” she asked.

“Yes,” I replied coldly.

She paused a moment before asking, “What if he kills you?”

“He won’t,” I stated. It wasn’t the answer she was looking for.

Grams huffed, “Why are you even involved with vampire politics?” She groaned.

“Same reason I’m now involved with shifter politics.”

“Yes, speaking of which we have a formal introduction to schedule for you followed by additional arbitration for the packs.”

I groaned. “Let’s schedule that for sooner rather than later.” I needed to check in with Kass after this to see how Darren’s parents were treating her.

“Whatever is going on in Oklahoma is growing.”

“You think the ring you broke up is related to the giant snakes?”

“I do and I think the demigod I killed was part of it.”

“Why?”

“I don’t believe in coincidences.”

“Alright,” she relented, “How long before I should worry?”

“An hour tops.”

“Good, I still need you to talk with Tommy he ditched school today and still isn’t home.” I could hear the clicking of her computer in the background.

I groaned, “What is he up to?”

“Being a teenager. You are the only one he ever listens to.”

“Yeah I’ll be over after this. He better hope he is home.”

“Agreed.” She hung up.

The rest of the drive I made in silence, letting my thoughts wander back to Blake. I was going to have to address this situation with him eventually. I just didn’t know what I needed to say to him. That I was disappointed? Disgusted by the way the situation was handled? Nothing I felt about it gave me hope things would work out between us.

I was tempted for a moment to call him, laying the guilt on thick, but that wasn’t who I wanted to be. He needed to find me after what happened.

And if he didn’t? Sorrow filled my chest at that thought. If he didn’t, that was more of an answer than anything he could say.
