issue.” Elizabeth started
toward the bed and Logan with her. “You’ll have to feed her. Do you
know what that means?”
Her voice faded as they moved away. Aaron
stood and watched the two of them together and wondered what the
man was going to do when he found out he was nearly all the way to
being a vampire anyway.
~~~
Logan took a deep breath. He had to feed
her. Then…well, no one knew for sure, but he was willing to bet it
was a bit more involved than they’d said. He walked to the bed.
He’d been assured she was breathing, but he could barely see her
chest rise and fall. Touching her skin, he was amazed at how cold
it was. Aaron had told him that it was because her body had shut
down in order for it to heal. But she’d gone much deeper than
necessary and needed a kick start to come back.
Come back to him.
Aaron’s knife, a beautiful bejeweled thing,
was in Logan’s hands, courtesy of Zane. But before Logan could do
anything, that tightening sensation returned, followed by the
appearance of yet another beautiful woman.
“Are all super beings lovely, or are you
hiding some hideous face that I won’t be able to see until this is
over?” She laughed, and he flushed. “I’m terribly sorry. I’m shit
stupid scared I’m making the biggest mistake of my life.”
“I’m Morrigan, the Goddess of all Faeries.
Have you heard of me?” He nodded, but then shook his head. “Which
is it, child? I’m on a time thing here.”
“Heard of you, yes, know who you are, not so
much. And just for the record, come earlier if you want to play in
my park. I’ve got my mate to save.”
“So you do. But we have time, a little
anyway.” She sat down on nothing. He watched as she reached out her
hand and a glass of blood red wine—maybe it was blood
—appeared in it.
“It is wine. And before you ask, yes, I read
your mind. It’s why I’m here. You have questions that haven’t been
answered. I can answer them. All of them. But you have to give me
something in return for each question. A boon, if you may.”
Logan was tired of all the games and shit
going on that he wasn’t getting. He had only had sex with a woman
in an elevator and now he had to save her life. This was some major
fucked up crap.
“You didn’t just have sex with her. You
bonded. But that too was planned. You were supposed to meet her
some years ago, but wires got crossed and you had the little boy.
Great kid, by the way. But you didn’t connect.” She shifted on her
air chair and put her feet up. “So we arranged for you to meet in
the hospital.”
“You arranged for… My sister and son, you
had them nearly killed?” She shook her head. “Then what? If you had
anything to do with what happened to them, so help me, I’ll rip you
apart.”
“No, we didn’t. You were to meet in the
hospital under other circumstances. Mathew was to have fallen at
school, nothing major, but our Lizzy would have been there as well
when Andi went into labor. When the attempted murder occurred, we
simply moved it around so you’d be there together. The elevator
stopping was supposed to get you together, but Lizzy was drained
from healing the two of them and bit you.”
Logan sat down. “She healed them? I don’t
understand. My sister said she thought Lizzy gave her blood, but
Mathew said nothing.”
“And he wouldn’t have. She used her power to
heal him. Had she not, he would have lost both legs to the thigh.
The car that ran over him had hit him across both knees and
shattered both from there down. She completely healed his right leg
and set the other so his leg was broken but not shattered. Lizzy
thought it would be hard for him to get around if both were
broken.” She handed him a small device. “I will tell you what’s on
that before you look, but it’s of your sister’s injuries. Her
throat had been sliced from ear to ear. Lizzy gave her blood just
as your sister said. But she didn’t realize that both their bloods
were pouring out
toward the bed and Logan with her. “You’ll have to feed her. Do you
know what that means?”
