Chapter 19

Linc had been in turmoil.

When Circe headed to the infirmary to attend to the unconscious blonde, he had two choices. Walk away from her, or walk toward her.

Of course, walking toward her meant one thing. It meant eavesdropping. And he knew that would piss her off. But hey, it’s not like he hadn’t done that on a semi-regular basis since he’d met her.

Since he’d met her.

Damn. It had only been a day—no, a few hours ago—how the hell did that woman get so far under his skin that he couldn’t imagine a day of not being around her?

He shook his head.

Pathetic.

His lion roared.

Again, with you? Shut it, he warned his lion.

So he faked walking away until she’d rounded the corner.

And then, he crept, slowly and with stealth down the plush carpeted hallway toward the frosted glass door of the infirmary. He stayed to the side, careful not to be in view of anyone who was near the door and might see a silhouette skulking in the hallway.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m doing—skulking. Me. Skulking. Unbelievable.

What had he come to? He reached the glass door, well off to the side of it and leaned against the wall, waiting, listening.

No sounds came from the room within, though he knew there were several people in there.

The unconscious Astra, Kane, Mae, and Jake. And Circe.

And yet, not a sound.

He was itching to go in. Itching to see what was happening.

He thought of ways he could see, maybe an outside window? Maybe a vent in the ceiling?

Okay, I’m being utterly ridiculous now.

The door opened and his heart stopped.

Jake looked right at him. “Why don’t you come on in here instead of waiting outside.” He smiled. “We have chairs.”

Linc nodded. Thanks.”

And what did he find inside?

Astra on a bed. Kane and Mae on one side, in chairs.

On the other side, Circe, leaning against Astra, her eyes closed.

“Is she okay?” he whispered to Jake.

“She’s—I guess, it’s sort of like meditating. That’s the only way I can describe it. At least on the outside, it looks like meditation. But she’s not really here. She’s with Astra.”

Linc had no clue what the hell that meant, but he was glad he could be in here rather than being outside and not knowing what was happening.

Circe twitched once, which made everyone in the room jump to their feet and hold their breaths.

Jake jumped in, checking first Circe’s vitals, then Astra’s. He looked up from that task and nodded, adding, “They’re fine. For now.”

Linc didn’t care about the caveat. He’d just rather they were fine—period.
