Chapter 12

For the first time in what feels like ages, I actually sleep well. And not because I’m half-dead or drugged out of my mind on vampire blood, but because I actually feel safe for once. What is this world coming to?

It’s a wonder what being amongst friends will do to your morale. It hardly even matters that “friends” is a relative term here; the mere fact that we’re no longer surrounded by people who are actively trying to kill us makes for a restful night. As much as Theo seems to promote the idea of a co-living situation, we’re still left to fend for ourselves food-wise, so Hunter wanders out to pick up a pizza after my day of training with Shade.

We all gather in my designated apartment, and although it’s a tight squeeze, it hardly matters; sitting and laughing over food makes me feel almost all right again, if only for the evening. The loss of my powers still hangs heavily over my head like a black thundercloud, but knowing I’m not alone makes a huge difference. The fact that I actually survived a day’s worth of combat training with Shade has given me a much-needed boost as well. Although I doubt I could take on a shifter right now, the prospect of one day being able to hold my own without magic no longer seems so absurd.

Maybe things are going to be okay.

It’s not until later that the others start turning in—Shade makes a quip about me having worn him out today and excuses himself, while Hunter leaves to continue practising his vampire form. Silas slinks quietly off to his room, and I make a mental note to check in with him at some point. Being surrounded by reminders of his childhood likely isn’t doing his mental state any good, and I have to remember that I’m not the only one struggling right now.

I’m on the verge of following him out the door to ask what’s wrong when someone slips his hand into mine, and I find myself being twirled in a dance maneuver that would look ridiculous if someone other than Landon had instigated it. Laughing, I spin into him, allowing him to pull me close to his chest and sway me back and forth to a tune that only he can hear.

“You’re going to be sorry,” I joke. “I’ve got the flattest feet this side of the equator.”

“I’ll challenge you on that,” Landon replies. “Need I remind you that sirens literally have webbed feet? Great for swimming. Not so great for wooing.”

I raise my eyebrows. “Is that what this is? You trying to woo me?”

The siren shifter grins before giving me a wink. “As great as hypnosis is, I tend to prefer the ladies in my life to like me for who I am. Not what I am.”

It’s an awfully strong sentiment coming from him, and I pause to peer up at his face, wondering what’s gotten into him. “You okay?”

“Me? I’m fantastic.” He grins.
