And next to its head lay a figure skate with a bloody blade. The blade that’d been used to cut the animal’s throat.

My stomach was outright churning now. “Rafael,” I murmured, wrenching my gaze back to him. “We ran the gang out of town. And they didn’t even know it was me. They wouldn’t come back just to pick on the new girl in town some more.”

Rafael scowled at the carcass. “No, they wouldn’t. I don’t think this is about them after all.”

A shiver ran through my body. “We assumed we were dealing with one set of enemies… but it could have been two all this time.”

If my latest bloody gift wasn’t from the idiotic gangsters, then the doll, the squirrel, and the pigeons hadn’t been either. Those two pieces of the puzzle had never really fit together—because they weren’t connected after all.

I peered into the deepening night with a deeper chill prickling under my skin.

Whoever was harassing me with unnerving “presents” was someone separate from the gang we’d just run off.

Someone deranged. Someone dangerous. Someone smart enough to play their disturbing tricks without getting caught.

Someone who intended to torment me in every sick way they could, and who wasn’t remotely close to stopping.

Just one more day until I’m free.

I held onto that thought as I looked around the restaurant. The light of the brass chandeliers glanced off the long table that stretched down the middle of the room, covered in a white tablecloth and set out with fine china and silverware. Soft jazz spilled from the speakers through the chatter of the arriving guests.

This was a classy place, about as nice as you could expect to get in the Bend. Colt had picked it, since his family was hosting the rehearsal dinner. I liked it, which felt like a good omen.

“There you are, Mercy.” My aunt Renee adjusted the pendant on my neck before flashing a grin at me. “You look beautiful, honey.”

That was all that was supposed to matter in our kind of life—if you were a woman. But as much as I hated that fact, I couldn’t exactly have shown up in one of my typical tees and beat-up jeans. I smoothed my hands over the silky turquoise dress that fell to just past my knees and smiled back at her. She meant well. “Thanks. Turns out I don’t clean up so bad, huh?”

She scoffed. “Anyone could have seen that. Your husband-to-be should consider himself very lucky.”
