FIFTEEN

Alexandria

The moon shone down through the open windows and flooded the wooden floors of the large chamber Avalon and Vivian helped me move into. Swaths of rich fabrics and even grander styles of carpentry lined every inch of this opulent room. Avalon said they called it the duchess’s chambers. My personal feeling was that it felt like it belonged to more like a queen.

I ran my fingertips along the windowsill before turning my back on the midnight sun and flopping down on the soft mattress. My engagement ring gleamed on the side table by the head of the bed, reminding me of the craziness I’d woken up to. Lancer and Elaine had obviously lied to me, and now I knew to what extent.

Something possessed Lancer. I’d never seen his eyes go so black before. He almost didn’t seem human. Butterflies fluttered low in my belly as my memory recalled how Avalon had looked at me. His gray eyes, tinged with emerald bursts, cut through my skin and penetrated into my soul.

My soul …

That part of me longed for this tall, dark, and dangerous man to make me remember and force me back to life. How many wonderful moments were lost because of what Lancer did to me?

I rubbed my palms over my bare arms and stood to rummage around in a bag to find a sweater. Even though the castle had heating, my tank top wouldn’t be enough in the chilly night air.

“I know I packed one in here.” Muttering to myself, I tossed underwear and socks aside. “Come on.”

Suddenly, my fingers brushed smooth, rounded beads, and I paused.

A jolt of energy raced down my arm and pooled in my chest, urging me to pull out whatever I held. The black beaded rosary gleamed in the dim light of the bedside lamp and the lit fireplace.

“Where did I get this again?”

Expecting silence to greet me, I wrapped the beads around my palm and fingered the silver cross at the very point of the beads.

This belongs to you.

A hushed whisper sent a chill up my spine. The room grew colder, and shadows appeared to move along the walls.

Licking my lips, I felt my heart thunder against my ribs.

“Hello?”

The voice had sounded as if a person was sitting right next to me.

But no one was there. I squeezed my eyes shut and prayed whichever ghostly spirit decided to pick me to play with would be nice.

A soft, tinkering laugh drifted through the air again.

I will not harm you. Please do not fear me. I merely mean to show you the truth.

It took all I had not to bolt from the room.

Whatever it was, was actually speaking to me in full sentences.

“W-who are you?” My voice shook as my gaze darted around the dark corners of the room. “Don’t jump out at me, please.”

Another chuckle.

I cannot make myself seen—only heard.

Breathing a sigh of relief, I clung to the rosary in my hand. “Who are you?”

This time, my question came with a bit more assurance.
