“Then you can finish telling me…”
My head flops onto a pillow, and blackness descends.
PRINCESS.
Princess.
Princess!
Something jars me out of my stupor.
“Princess, wake up!”
Rogan is shaking me, jostling me.
“We have to leave.”
“What?”
“It’s your stepfather.He knows where we are.”
His words jumble in my head.I need to get a grasp.Clear the haze.“How?”
“I don’t fucking know.All I know is he’s been alerted to our whereabouts.We have to get out of here.Can you move?”
“Yes.I have my strength.You gave me a lot of blood.I fell asleep, kind of like you do after a really good meal.Areyouokay?I took a lot from you.”
He touches the wound on his neck.“I’m fine.You’re my priority, princess.”
“Where do we go?”
“We’re going back to The London.”
“You said that wasn’t safe.”
“It’s not, but I have to make a choice, princess.You may be my priority, but I also have a responsibility to my pack.And right now, some of them are in danger.”
“Can you finish telling me first?Who you were defending when you offed those vamps?”
“This will be hard for you to grasp,” he says.
“This isallhard for me to grasp, Rogan.”
He nods.“I suppose I owe you the truth.I was defending…you.”
34
“Me?”I glare at him.“You said members of your pack.”
“I didn’t know who youwereat the time,” he says.“I was defending my mate, and at that time I figured she was a member of my pack.I just hadn’t found her yet.”
No way.No freaking way.“So these vamps…”
“Yes.They threatened my mate.They claimed they knew who she was, and that they would get to her before I would.”
Rogan’s words make an eerie kind of sense, though I’m not sure why.Still, they ring true to me.Is my father involved in this?He seemed to know something about Rogan’s attraction toward me before we even began this investigation.
Who were these vampires?And if theywerealigned with my stepfather, who has he recruited to take their place?
