Chapter 14
Adam sat staring at his phone. Fifteen more minutes until he called Jill. Even though Steve was keeping him updated on Tessa, he wanted to hear her voice. He loved his sister and never meant to hurt her. Running through his contacts, it landed on Tessa’s number.
“Fuck it.” He pressed her number, putting the phone to his ear.
“Where the fuck are you?” Jared answered after the third ring.
Adam cursed, hearing Jared’s voice. “Let me talk to Tessa,” he demanded.
“You’re pressing your luck demanding shit from me,” Jared hissed over the phone. “If it wasn’t for your sister, I’d be out hunting your ass right now.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt her, Jared,” Adam sighed, exhaustion overcoming him.
“You’re damn lucky she’s going to be okay,” Jared growled in the phone. “Though she is more worried about you than herself right now. That’s what really pisses me off. You fucking left her laying on the floor hurt; that is something I will never be able to forgive.”
“How can I expect you to forgive me when I can’t even forgive myself?” Adam hung up. He knew they thought he was going rogue, but they were wrong. Looking around the dingy motel room, Adam felt more alone than he had in his entire life. He prayed to God, whom he hadn’t prayed to since he’d been turned, that they were wrong.

Jill walked out of the back and straight up to Sloan. “I tried to leave, but Alice came after me.” She purposely didn’t look at Slade, who stood right to the side of Sloan. “I also refuse to be treated like that by anyone. That may make me look like I’m starting trouble, but I’m not. I just refuse to be treated like a piece of garbage. I hope to stay on here and I did follow your orders.”
“Alice has been let go,” Sloan replied, and before Jill could say anything, he lifted his hand to stop her. “She should have been let go a long time ago, but I will warn you to watch your back. She won’t take this lightly.”
“Thanks for the warning.” She glanced at the time on her phone. Any minute Adam was going to call her.
“Now about this new power you seem to have.” Sloan shook his head with a rare grin. “Which took us all by surprise, I might add. Slade is going to work with you on controlling it.”
“That’s okay.” Jill absolutely was not going to work with Slade. “I couldn’t even do it again in the bathroom, so it might have been a one-time thing.”
“It’s not a one-time thing.” Slade frowned down at her.
“Oh, and what makes you so sure of that?” Jill was trying to keep the hurt and anger out of her voice. She had to separate her feelings for this man, but in truth, she wanted to smack the crap out of his handsome face for screwing that hoe and then talking to the bitch about her afterwards.
“Because I have the same powers.” Slade’s tone or facial expression didn’t change, but his eyes burned into hers.
