CHAPTER 16

MY EYES SNAPPED OPEN and instant awareness flashed into my brain. I felt Beck’s arm heavy across my waist and I grinned into the pillow when I remembered our lovemaking. Still, the reason for my sudden awakening was something he’d said to me as we were making our way into the house.

Justin had another nightmare.

As easy as I could move, I slipped from under his arm and out of his bed. I was still wearing only my plain white bra, so I felt around on the floor until I found my sweatshirt and pants and got dressed.

I retrieved my purse from the place where it had landed on the couch and opened my cell phone. It was 3:24 in the morning. I clicked through my contact list and found the desired number, dialing it as I made my way into the kitchen for privacy.

My eyes narrowed when the voicemail kicked in and I waited for the beep to leave a message. “Sandy, this is Lynlee. Call me back ASAP.”

Leaning against the counter, I tapped the end of the phone against my lips a few times as I thought. There could be any explanation for Justin’s nightmare. The kid was grounded so maybe he went to bed earlier than Sandy could get here. Maybe Sandy was held up at his day job.

My gut said no. Even if Justin was asleep when Sandy showed, he still would’ve sprinkled him with dust. Something was wrong.

I pressed the third quick-dial number on my phone and waited. Rhiannon answered on the second ring. “Do you know what time it is?”

“I know what time it is. Why are you awake and waiting by the phone?”

“I’m a werevamp. I keep weird hours.”

I shook my head even though she couldn’t see the gesture. “Whatever. Have you heard from Sandy? He was supposed to...” My words trailed off because the sound I heard on the other end of the phone was so foreign I began to wonder if I’d dialed the wrong werevamp. “Are you crying?”

“I’m a were. We don’t cry.”

“Rhiannon Marie Bolling, what the hell is going on here?”

She was wailing now, her breath coming in gasping hiccups. I waited rather impatiently for her to stop. I opened the fridge and peered inside for something to drink. The leftover bottle of wine from a few nights ago beckoned me. Hmmm... is 3 am too early to drink? It’s still night, right?

I was saved from having to make that decision when Rhia finally got herself under control and said my name.

“I’m here, Rhia. Just waiting for you to talk.”

“We didn’t want to tell you. I mean, he used to think he was in love with you so he thought it would be awkward. I mean, who keeps that sort of secret from their best friend? And I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to lie, but he wanted to make sure we were sure before we told anyone. You know they don’t normally date outside their species.”

“Whoa. Hold it. You’re
