“She?” he questions.
“Yes, she.” I smile. “We Halaba girls seem to produce girls if you haven’t noticed.”
“Maybe that cycle will be broken.”
“Maybe,” I reply, not believing it.
A knock sounds at the door. I stand and reach for John’s shirt before heading to answer. Bronik appears in the doorway as I pull it open, his face solemn, and his stance strong. But when I look behind him, I don’t see my sister.
“Where is she?” I ask, pushing past him.
He moves to let me through, and I scan the area for Talia.
“Viper sent her through a portal.”
I swing back around at his words. “What did you just say?” I scream at him. He goes to repeat himself, but I cut him off with my hand pressed to his mouth. “You told her to go to him. This wasyour plan,” I accuse. “It’syour fault!”
“Angel, what did you do?” John comes running out of the house and immediately to my side, his hand settling on my back. Usually, when he touches me, a part of me eases. Not this time, though. Now I am full of rage, and the Angel standing in front of me is my target. Just as I go to drop to the floor, he disappears.
“Asshole,” I swear. “We need a portal,” I tell John. “We need to find a portal.”
“For what?” he questions.
“Viper sent Talia through one. How do I call Death? How does she do it?” I dig my hands into my hair and start pulling at it. John gently untangles my fingers from the knotted locks.
“Calm down, and let’s think.”
“Think?Think?” I throw my head back and laugh. “My sister was sent through a portal! I told her not to go see him. I knew Viper was a snake, and I was proven right.”
“You are always right, my love.” I swing my head around to him and see Melvon approaching, drawn by my raging emotions. We are still connected. I agreed to let him go, but he wants to serve me. So I disabled some of our connection, but he still feels my anger and pain. Tanya follows close behind him, and that’s when I see her lips are pink, as if she has been kissing someone. When I glance back at Melvon, he looks away with guilt etched all over his face.
“Tanya,” I say, my voice low, but she knows.
Her eyes skirt to Melvon.
“I told her not to kiss me, but she insisted,” Melvon says in a hurry.
Tanya strides up to him and slaps him across the face. Hard. He doesn’t even flinch, but I know it hurts her because she shakes out her hand.
“You kissed me back, vampire.”
“After you stuck your tongue down my throat,” he calmly says back to her. She goes to hit him again, but he grips her wrist, preventing her from doing so.
“It’s best you keep your hands to yourself, witch,” he bites back.
She pulls her hand free and turns to face me. “What’s going on?” Her arms cross over her chest.
She has grown up a little. But she is still the more timid and quiet of us all. I don’t like what is happening between her and Melvon, but I’m not going to get involved. That’s between them.
“Viper sent our sister through a portal,” I inform her. Her eyes go wide, and she looks at John, then back to me.
“What? How?”
I shrug. “Bronik informed me.”
“And what is he doing to get her back?” she asks.
“He left. I don’t think he’s doing anything.”
