I sat up in surprise. “The Earth Angel?” I asked.

“The one and only,” he said. “Before becoming the Earth Angel, Annika was a human blood slave in the Vale. She worked with a witch named Geneva to infiltrate the palace. Geneva helped Annika disguise herself as a vampire princess and enter the competition to win Jacen’s hand in marriage. Annika drank vampire blood to have the powers of a vampire princess, and transformation potion to change her appearance.”

“To make herself look like me.” I was breathless as the pieces started fitting together even more—and startled as a shattering realization fell into my lap. “But you were still in the Vale then. You’ve known I looked like Princess Ana this entire time.”

I didn’t want to believe he’d kept something so huge from me. But after learning all of this, it was the only thing that made sense.

“I never met Annika when she was pretending to be Princess Ana,” he explained, and I breathed slightly easier at the confirmation that my instincts about him weren’t totally off. “In the Vale, the wolves lived outside of the vampire city. We didn’t see anything that happened in there. I first saw Annika during the war at the Vale. By then, she was back in her true form. Trust me—if I’d known Princess Ana looked like you, I wouldn’t have kept it from you. I swear it.”

“Thank God.” I held his gaze, my voice strong. “I was beginning to worry I was wrong in trusting you.”

“You can trust me,” he promised. “I’m on your side, Raven. Always.”

There were so many unspoken words between us—so many intense emotions. His hand still held mine, and at that point, his touch was the only thing keeping me grounded as the world as I knew it crumbled around me.

A part of me wanted to kiss him again and make this entire mess go away—if only for a little while. And despite everything he’d said earlier about not wanting to see where this went between us, I could tell from the way he was looking at me that he wanted to kiss me, too. I could literally feel his desire through the imprint bond and hear our hearts beating in time together.

I leaned closer, and he did the same. It was like we were drawn together, and when his lips finally brushed mine, my heart leaped. I wanted to climb into his lap and melt right into him. Everything about him called to me—his taste, his scent, his touch. With my temporarily heightened vampire senses, it was more tempting than ever to let go and lose myself in the moment—and to him—completely.

But I pulled away, not allowing the kiss to progress any further.

In the span of a single second, he looked hurt, confused, and finally, resolved. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I shouldn’t have done that.”

“Don’t apologize.” The last thing I needed was another reminder about his decision not to be with me. “We’re just so close to figuring out the connection between Princess Ana and my missing memories,” I said in a rush.
