Chapter 10

“What?” Lexi asked with wide eyes. “I thought you were, you know, born this way.”

Gabe laughed. “No, Lexi. I wasn’t born a vampire.”

“But you said your mom’s a vampire, too,” Lexi pointed out. “I figured that meant that it ran in your family.”

“Well, my mom is a vampire.”

“This is so confusing.” Lexi sighed.

“Do you remember what I told you about Dhampir children?”

Lexi shook her head. All she remembered was that, although she and Mary-Kate were supposed to be Dhampir, they weren’t because of the witch’s curse that said that no children in the Hunter family bloodline could ever become a vampire again. Lexi didn’t quite understand it because, to be technical, Dhampir were only half-vampires.

“A child can only be a Dhampir if their father is a vampire. Children who are born to vampire mothers will remain humans,” Gabe said. “My father wasn’t a vampire . . . only my mother was.”

“What about Caroline, though?” Lexi asked. “I thought you said that her father wouldn’t let her date you because you were a vampire when you were a teen.”

Gabe nodded. “That’s true. Right before I fell in love with Caroline, I met this girl. I used to play soccer, and she would always come to my games and sit on the grass and watch, always staring at me. One day, she just came up to me and told me that I needed to take her on a date.”

Gabe looked up at Lexi. “Things were different back then. People were sexist, and girls didn’t just ask guys out that way. It was considered rude and unacceptable, but something about the way she was so bold and daring made me attracted to her. I guess I was attracted to rebels or something. So, I did what she told me to do. I asked her to go on a date with me. I didn’t even know her name at that point, but she later informed me that it was Veronica Hart.”

“But things didn’t work out?” Lexi asked. She sort of hoped that Veronica had been the one to let Gabe go, but something told her that wasn’t the way it had happened. Judging from the way Veronica had acted in her classroom towards him a few minutes ago, it seemed like she still had feelings for Gabe, even after all these years.

“We went out,” Gabe went on, not directly answering Lexi’s question. “And we had a really good time, so I asked her out again . . . and again. We ended up dating for about six months before I realized that she wasn’t the right girl for me.”

“How did you know that she wasn’t right for you?” Lexi twirled a piece of hair around her finger. Even though she was glad that Gabe hadn’t wanted to work things out with Veronica back then, it made her feel nervous to think that Gabe could wake up and realize at any time that she wasn’t the right girl for him either.

“Veronica is a really selfish person.
