Chapter 8

B lake dressed and left to order breakfast for the two of them. As Brenna brushed her hair in front of the mirror, she saw Blake’s bandage in the wastebasket by the dresser. What was it doing there? When had he peeled it off?

She’d entirely forgotten about his wound. Closing her eyes, she pictured him getting dressed a few minutes ago. He should have been favoring that shoulder, but he’d moved as if there was nothing wrong with it. And there was no wound crusted over with dried blood; only a fresh scar where the bullet hole should have been. How could that be? Her own cuts, although days older, looked much worse.

She dropped onto the edge of the bed as her world rocked. Could his wild claims possibly be true? Could he be everything he claimed to be: a Paladin who died and lived again, and healed from wounds that would prove fatal to anyone else? If that was true, then his kind really did fight a secret war against invaders from other worlds. Not only that, but her father had been a part of Blake’s world, living a double life she hadn’t known about.

Her mind refused to accept it, but her heart told her otherwise.

The urge to move, to run, to deny everything had her up and packing. She stuffed her personal belongings back into her suitcase. It took a couple of tries to close the zipper, but finally her bag was sitting on the floor by the door. Then she perched on the edge of the bed to wait for Blake to return.

She was glad he wasn’t back yet: she needed time to come to terms with what had happened.

Last night, she’d taken a lover who wasn’t completely human.
