It's almost like being in a horror movie all on my own—-
Because the King isn't with me.
The thought comes out of nowhere, and my mood instantly spirals. I tried drowning myself with work today, but I still failed miserably at forgetting how quickly I've been dumped.
Iknowmen can be assholes, and that there are men who'd be willing to say whatever you need to hear just to get you in their bed...and dump you the next morning.
Iknowthat, really, but I guess I never outgrew my naïveté because this right now is me being an idiot all over again.
It's just like before, dammit.
I once thought everyone around me would be good, and Chester paid the price for my stupidity.
And Iknow,I really do know men can be wolves in sheep's clothing, and the King...
He's an actual freaking wolf, for God's sake.
The biggest and baddest there is, even.
But instead of those things giving me pause, I went ahead and slept with him, and now it's my broken heart's turn to pay the price.
"Hello, Cat."
It would have beenincredibleif the man who's suddenly standing in front of me is that same someone who broke my heart, and he's here to grovel for my forgiveness.
But because I can't seem to shake off misfortune where my dating life is concerned—-
I already feel sick to my stomach before I even lift my gaze. It doesn't matter how much time has passed since I last heard that voice. I'd know it anywhere...just like I'd never be able to forget the crazy blue eyes that are currently staring down at me.
Julius.
I don't know whether to feel glad that I wasn't imagining things, after all...or terrified because it reallyishim in the flesh, and his blue eyes look crazier than ever.
"Aren't you going to say hi?"
His tone is playful, and that tells me he'sstillthe same sociopath who killed my baby.
"You're not supposed to come near—-"
"Shut up!"
His snarl is vicious, but it's the split-second glimpse of his mouth that terrifies me.
Fangs.
And they're stained with blood.
"Why do you have to be such a fucking bitch to me all the time, Cat?"
All I can do is stare at him in a mixture of terror and shock.
Julius is human like me, so why does he have bloodstained fangs?
"I've always only wanted to love you." His voice starts off at an entreating note. "So why can't you just give me a fucking chance?" But he's already screaming in my face by the end of his rant, and all I can see are his fangs.
"I couldn't figure it out before, but I get it now. I fucking—-owww!"
Tears threaten to blind my eyes as I knee him in the groin. I know I only have this one chance to make my escape, and I don't care if I have to jump out of the fucking train—-
