Chapter Twelve

Okay, yes, Sofia had known that Griffin would leave again, which meant she should not have slept with him. Again.

But she had, and now she had to pay the consequences.

The damage to her heart. And, apparently, to her dragon, who was currently sulking in a remote corner of her mind and refusing to speak to her. Which she ought to appreciate since the beast tended to do so at inopportune times, but honestly, she could use someone to chat with right about now.

Although what would she say? If she told her tale to anyone, they’d think she was a fool, and they’d be right. Sleeping with Griffin the first time could be forgiven. She had no idea that he’d slip away without saying goodbye, that he’d leave a three-month-old infant behind for her to raise. This time, however, she’d been fully aware of what she was getting into, and she’d made the choice anyway.

Best not to share her story with anyone. Keep it locked inside, as she had most things, for her entire life.

She sniffled and swiped at wetness on her cheek. Guess her tear ducts hadn’t gotten the memo.

A noise that sounded like someone heading down the stairs caused her to quickly wipe away any trace of sadness and turn around with a fake, bright smile plastered onto her lips. Antoinette and then Ketu came into view, and Antoinette studied her face, concern etched on her own, and Sofia wished not for the first time that the woman she’d once considered a friend had not become reeve. If she were still a bartender at Mitch’s, Sofia might have been willing to open up to her, to tell her the truth, or at least as much as she could.

But now she couldn’t. With Trennon living here and Antoinette actively trying to track Darius, there was far too much at risk. Like Sofia’s own life.

And her mother’s.

At least she didn’t need to worry about Darius doing anything to Penelope. When he’d shown up at the playground, she’d deliberately avoided summoning Penelope until she was certain he was gone. Yes, if he had been watching her, he knew Penelope was in her life, but hopefully he didn’t realize what the child meant to her. Or what the child was.

She doubted Darius knew much of anything at all about Daughters of Light, but he could find out easily enough by simply asking around. The first witch he came across would fill him in. And then he’d know just how valuable Penelope was, and he’d most certainly use that to his advantage.

Griffin’s replacement couldn’t get here fast enough.

She wasn’t necessarily worried that Darius would show up here, literally, in this house. Antoinette seemed perfectly capable of taking the man down if he dared; not to mention, there were guards and other dragons around all the time.

Sofia had seen the man do some pretty dirty stuff. Like break another dragon’s fingers because the guy had acted interested in some woman who probably meant nothing at all to Darius, yet Darius had demanded the guy apologize—to him.
