Chapter Eleven

Wren

To say I didn’t expect Phineas to wake up and scream in my face was an understatement. Hawk’s cat darted off the bed and disappeared downstairs at the sudden commotion.

I held both hands up to show Phineas I was harmless, letting the feather fall onto the floor. “Take it easy. I won’t hurt you.”

Phineas scooted across the mattress until he hit the wall and pointed at me with a long, trembling finger. “B-Bronwen?” he stammered.

“No, this is Wren, Bronwen’s daughter.” Hawk sat on the edge of the bed and patted his Grandpa’s knee. “It’s okay. She woke you up. She’s not dangerous.”

“How is this possible? You died—both of you.”

“Not both of us,” I said, swallowing past the sudden lump in my throat. “Just my mom.”

“Then the vision is right. I hoped that this one time, I’d be wrong. Wait…” Phineas sat up, turning his attention to his grandson. “How long was I out?”

“About a month.”

Phineas gripped Hawk’s hand, his expression pained. “I’m sorry.”

Hawk squeezed him right back and shook his head. “It’s not your fault.”

“You know who she is?” Phineas gave me a sidelong glance.

Hawk grinned at me and turned back to Phineas. “Yeah, I know her.”

“Can I get you some blood? Are you hungry?” I asked, feeling the need to do something useful. Plus, I figured I should give him and Hawk a little time alone.

“Thank you, that would be nice. I’m famished.”

“I’ll be right back, then.” I stood and kissed Hawk on the forehead, then hurried downstairs when I saw how taken aback his grandpa was by that little gesture of affection. Hawk had already grown on me so much, it didn’t seem odd to me to give him a little peck.

Mates one through three were all gathered around the foot of the stairs, their expressions a mixture of confusion and concern.

“What was the screaming all about?” Ashe asked.

“I assume he didn’t wake up well,” Marlowe added.

I shrugged. “No, he was a little…startled by seeing me is all.”

Duke, or Archie, as I liked to call him, reappeared from under a chair and wound himself around my legs, purring so hard he vibrated. I picked him up and snuggled him. He butted his head against my cheek and settled his front paws on my shoulder.

Charles lit a cigar and puffed out a circle of smoke. “Can you blame him with a supposed-to-be-dead vampire queen staring down at him? Gotta be better than seeing Hawk’s face, though.”

“Good point.” Marlowe approached, and Archie hissed at him.

“Be nice,” I said, and put the cat back down. He stuck his nose in the air and trotted away as though I’d insulted his royal cat-ness.

Marlowe eyed him warily, then took my hand and walked beside me to the tiny kitchen.

I retrieved a blood pouch from the refrigerator and heated it in the microwave. Ashe and Charles sprawled out in the living room. They all seemed to know when one of them needed a little extra time with me.

“Are you okay? Did he tell you anything?” Marlowe asked.
