“No. It’s locked.”

I let out a frustrated groan. “Viggo, please. Just go into your room so I can sleep out here in peace.”

He snorted. “Peace? There hasn’t been peace since one little human stepped foot in our city and got my brother’s heart all tangled up. You two need to talk. Go do it.”

“He brought me here against my will. I have nothing to say to him.”

“You have a lot to say.” He shrugged. “But feel free to stay out here.”

There was no way I could sleep on the couch with these two, and from the wicked gleam in Viggo’s eye, he knew it. I shot him a glare before spinning around and going back to Zan’s room. I silently closed the door behind me, grateful that I couldn’t hear Dee’s screams in here.

With a huff, I slowly moved across the dark room until I bumped into the mattress. I climbed into the bed, staying close to the edge to keep from touching Zan.

“I told you that you wouldn’t want to go out there,” he said in the darkness, his voice laced with amusement.

“Yeah, well, your brother is an asshole. Must run in the family.”

“Go back to bed. We’ll talk when you wake up.”

“I’m not putting the necklace back on.”

“Good night, Kali.”

Chapter 2

Zan

“Did you two talk?” Viggo asked as I walked into the living room.

I fell onto the couch next to Pax while Viggo stood on the opposite wall, smoking one of his rolled cigarettes. I scrubbed a hand over my jaw, shooting him a glare.

“Just because you made sure we were both stuck in the same room doesn’t mean she suddenly trusts me,” I ground out. “Or wants to talk.”

Viggo arched an eyebrow. “Did you even try?”

“All I asked was for one thing in return for the answers she wants.” I shrugged. “She didn’t want to hear it.”

“I can’t believe she knows we can walk in the sun,” Pax grumbled. “We can’t trust her.”

Viggo scoffed. “It’s your fault. You’re the one who lied when she first showed up.”

“You two would have killed her,” Pax forced out through clenched teeth. “I felt bad.”

“How do you know that?” Viggo tossed back. “Maybe Zan would have gotten his little crush, even if he’d known she was human.”

“Enough,” I said sharply. “It’s done. We’ll figure it out. She’s not leaving. And I don’t have a damn little crush.”

“That’s what I’m worried about.” Pax tilted his head to look at me. “What if it’s more than that? What if Dad was wrong about it not being possible?”

Ice flowed through my veins, and I jumped from the couch, pacing the floor. “It’s not possible.”

“It could be?—”

“No. We’d know if that were true.” I took a deep breath and then purposefully changed the subject. “She needs to wear that lotion if she leaves the apartment. I don’t want anyone to try and feed on her since she’s not wearing my necklace.”

My brothers exchanged a look, and I stopped pacing. “What?”

“When you fed on her, did she taste…good?” Viggo asked slowly.
