event that he needed someone to come and cover her shift. “You won’t be working for him again. Will you?”
“No. But he thinks I will. I told him that I’d gotten a better paying job so he’d not question how I could suddenly afford to take off work.” Mr. Casen got up and pulled down a big glass jar of cookies. “I can’t eat that kind of thing, but you go ahead. Sugary things make me kind of loopy.”
“How long?” She told him that she had no idea how long he was going to hope she’d come to work. “No, I mean how long has sugar made you loopy? All your life?”
“Yes. Howard did tell me once when I got all weird after having a slice of cake that my mom should have lived long enough to tell me about it. It was the one and only time that he ever said anything about her. I’ve never even seen a picture of her.” She looked up at him when he continued to stare at her. “What is it?”
“Has Mr. Noah drank from you?” She shook her head and felt her fears tighten her back up. “Anyone other than Mr. Elijah?”
“No. What’s going on? Why are you concerned about some sort of allergy that I have? It is an allergy, right? I have some sort of reaction to sugar.” He shook his head and sat down. “You’re really starting to scare me a little. What is it, Mr. Casen?”
“Witches need sugar to replenish their energy after they are spent. There are a few others too, other beings that need sugar to do the same thing. They drink fruit juices that make them feel better, eat a cookie or two, and can go about their business.” She nodded, not wanting him to go on and needing him to at the same time. “Then there are beings that sweets affect them much like you are telling me. Children of vampires that have been born of a mortal human and an old and powerful vampire.”
“You think I’m part vampire?” He nodded. “No. That can’t be right. I have a normal mom. I never knew who my dad was, but my mom, she was as normal as I am.”
Baby, are you all right? She nearly screamed when Elijah spoke to her. Mr. Casen asked her to tell him, to see what he said about it when she told him who was talking to her. Are you in trouble? I can feel your fear.
Mr. Casen thinks I’m part vampire. Or something like that . When he didn’t speak, she continued, her fear overriding everything else. He said that because I can’t eat sugar, that I might be a child of a human and an old vampire. Why would it matter if the vampire is old or not? Not that I think this is true, but I was just wondering. I mean, had I been a vampire, wouldn’t someone have told me?
Old vampires, ones that were born to a pureblooded family, have powers that a great many people don’t know about. One of them is that they can breed children with a human that is not their mate. Not all the time, but there have been occasions when it’s happened. Does he have any idea how to figure it out? She told him what he’d said about Noah. You should ask him. He might be able to tell you. Not that it matters to me, but it might change a few things for you if you ever want me to convert you to a wolf.
Why? She wasn’t sure that she wanted to know that either, but plowed on. I mean, I’ve never thought of being what you are. A wolf, I mean. But I don’t understand why whatever is in my background could change what happens, do you?
Yes. It could change a great many things. The fact that Joe was a day walker for Noah and the powers that he gave her to keep her safe is one of the reasons that Trent hasn’t changed her to a wolf. Not that it matters to either of them, but it might do something to the magic they both share. I’m thinking we should look into this. That way we won’t run into trouble should it be true. She looked down at the cookies and decided that she was going to eat the entire container of them. But she knew that she’d be sick afterwards, not to mention it would make her feel as if she’d been on a three-day drunk . It’s
