Chapter 14

Ignis leaned against the rickety railing of Talia’s paddleboat. “I’m telling you, I had nothing to do with Tia’s attack, and I’m insulted that you would for one moment think I did.” Ignis had spent a while reuniting with Talia and Tia and had finally gotten a moment alone with Rebekah on the top deck.

Rebekah looked out over the bayou to the cypress trees and the moss that draped from their branches into the water. “I’m just trying to get to the bottom of what happened. She claims she saw you. That you called her to the alley, and when she got there, you disappeared. She was afraid that you were captured or killed. That’s how certain she was.”

“Poor thing,” said Ignis. “I’d never lead her to harm. I’d die for that girl and any of her sisters, the same way I’d die for you and Talia. She must have been heartbroken not knowing what happened and what her sisters would think.”

“I know.” Rebekah thought it had to be terrifying for the naiad. “I’m just trying to figure it out. Why would she see you?”

“I don’t know. Perhaps it was a doppelganger or maybe an impostor?” He tried to rack his brain for a reason. Suddenly, it occurred to him.

Rebekah noticed the change in his expression. “What is it? Did you remember something?”

Ignis tried to act nonchalant, but it was too late. “No, I just thought that if the shifters had found a way to turn into me.” He shook his head. “It’s a silly thought.”

“I don’t think that’s possible.” Rebekah refused to believe that a shifter could change into a person. They only had one true human identity, and another person looking exactly like Ignis was an impossibility. Similar, maybe. But not enough for Tia to be mistaken.

Ignis shrugged. “Maybe she was on something, confused. I don’t know. I’ll try and get to the bottom of it.”

“When you head home, you mean?” She hoped he was headed back home immediately.

Ignis had meant to stay back at the castle, but his heart wouldn’t let him. “I’m going back as soon as possible. I only made the trip because I was losing my mind with worry.” Ignis had misted all the way and would do the same until he returned home, once he was done with his visit.

“You’re going to be exhausted,” said Rebekah.

“It’s not as bad as all that. I’ll take a nap, pound an energy drink, and I’ll be as good as new.”

Rebekah frowned at his exaggeration as her phone vibrated in her pocket. “I told them I’d call them.” She took the phone out of her coat and looked at the name. Dixon. “Shit. I guess he saw the inside of the car.” She almost didn’t answer but then thought she ought to check on the guys’ status.

“Hi, Hoyt.” She tried to sound flirty but sucked at it. The tinny tone made her sound nervous instead, and she felt like a silly girl, weak and vulnerable over a crush, which Hoyt was not.
