“So you’re making new friends. That’s good, Jude.”

Jude didn’t know if Kyle and the Ward family qualified as friends, or at least friends her parents and therapist would approve of. After all, Kyle was a werewolf and the Ward family was composed entirely of vampires, some nicer than others.

“It’s okay, I guess,” said Jude.

Seated across from her in a dark leather chair was Dr. Lulu LeBlanc. The first time Jude had met the stylish redhead, she’d thought her more suited to the profession of a supermodel as opposed to being a therapist. But apparently, she was brilliant at what she did and had come highly recommend to Jude’s parents, who never did anything half-assed. Why the family needed a therapist though, Jude didn’t know.

“Just okay?” Dr. LeBlanc said. She uncrossed and then recrossed her legs, smoothing her burgundy skirt over her knees.

Jude had always believed the fashion rule that redheads couldn’t wear red, but here Dr. LeBlanc sat, in a sharp red suit with her fiery hair twisted neatly in a chignon.

“They’re okay,” Jude said. “I mean’t they’re okay.”

Dr. LeBlanc’s mouth turned down and she set her legal pad aside to lean towards Jude.

“Are these the sort of friends you shouldn’t be socializing with?” she said.

Jude looked away.

Well one of them did try to kill me,she thought,and the most recent addition to the gang turns into a wolf every full moon. Granted, I’ve never seen it for myself, but at this point, I’m willing to have a little faith.

“They’re just different,” she said instead. “They’re not like Lux who is crazy and colorful and loud. They’re elegant and refined and I feel out of my element whenever I’m around them.”

“But it looks as though they’ve rubbed off on you,” Dr. LeBlanc said, gesturing to encompass all of Jude’s new appearance. “You look good, Jude.”

“Thanks,” she said, “but I can’t help feeling like I’m losing myself.”

Dr. LeBlanc tapped her chin thoughtfully for a moment before rising from her chair.

“I used to practice a different kind of medicine,” she said as she retrieved Jude’s coat from the coat rack. “Natural medicine, you might say.”

“Sounds kind of New Age,” Jude said, but then quickly apologized before taking her coat from Dr. LeBlanc.

“Maybe,” the doctor said, “but it was oftentimes effective. Would you mind if I sent you something? Just a little something to keep in your room when you sleep at night. I think it might help you.”

Jude highly doubted anything Dr. LeBlanc gave her could help with her current situation. But she looked so hopeful that Jude couldn’t refuse.

“Sure,” Jude said and slipped on her coat. “I’ve got to go pick up my brother. You have my address, right?”

“Right,” Dr. LeBlanc said and escorted Jude to the door. “Simon came with you to the city? That’s nice of him.”

Jude laughed and shook her head before she noticed the look on Dr. LeBlanc’s face. She tried to ignore the prying gaze, but felt herself giving in the way she always did when Dr.
