lie.”
I tilted my head, staring straight into her eyes. “I think you know perfectly well why I’m here.”
“Sam,” she breathed. Her jaw tightened and she looked like an angry kitten. “That’s why Dane…”
I nodded.
She turned her eyes away from me and stared right in front of her. I studied her, fascinated. So, she had claws after all. I was curious to see what she would do next.
“I thought you were okay,” she whispered. “After what happened in the garden, I really thought you were okay.”
“I am okay.”
She smacked me. Hard. “Don’t play with me, Lucas. What are you really doing here?”
“Going home.” I smiled and played stupid.
“Uh-huh.”
I arched my brow and the corner of my lips twitched.
She sighed heavily. “Drive.”
I did as she asked and looked at her questioningly.
“Just drive,” she sighed.
I drove to the furthest corner of the nearby park and stopped. Kate didn’t say anything, and as curious as I was, my patience was running out. “Care to explain why you’re accusing me of something?”
“Look.” She turned to me and bit her lower lip. “Sam didn’t come home last night and after hearing her fight with Dane I have a strong feeling your fingerprints are all over this. Especially when your name was mentioned quite often during their fight.”
“My name?”
She nodded, her eyes full of hidden hurt. “I don’t know what you’re doing, but will you just stop, okay?”
“And why would I do that?”
“Why?” she asked, stunned. “Are you really asking me why?”
I nodded and stretched my arms, placing them behind my neck. Her gaze slid to my trained biceps before stopping at my tattoos.
“She’s single, I’m single, so why the buzz?” I asked lazily.
She opened and closed her mouth, which looked kind of funny. I was wise enough to keep my mouth shut, though.
“She loves him,” Kate said quietly.
I felt a stab in my almost nonexistent conscience as the next words streamed out of my mouth. “Does she? She loved me quite thoroughly last night.”
“Bastard!”
“Why, thank you.” I bowed theatrically and glanced at my ringing cell. Placing my finger on my lips, I answered. “Talk.” Kate was too stunned to move and after a while I almost forgot she was there. “Uh-huh. Yes, everything is fine. I understand.” My cheeks flamed red. “I’m sorry, too, Séasan.” I breathed. “We’re good. I know. Yes, I remember. Okay, talk to you soon.”
“Who was that?” Kate asked, making me half jump.
“My creator.” I revealed my canines. “Now, excuse me but I need to run.”
“Fine. Whatever. Just leave Sam alone.”
“Can’t do that.” I grinned cockily.
“Can’t or won’t?”
“Both.” I started the engine and drove back to the house. Kate looked as if she might burst into tears, but I didn’t care. Settling things with my creator had put my priorities right again, and even if she was my own flesh and blood, I didn’t care. I couldn’t.
Kate got out of the car, lightning fast, and slammed the door. “Be sure to return Mrs. Carrigan’s car before she gets home!” she shouted to the air so loudly that at least half of London must’ve heard her.
I didn’t bother to answer. I had no intention of keeping the car longer than a few hours. So Mrs. Carrigan would find her car properly parked, keys neatly placed on the tire, whenever she decided to return home.
Kate marched inside without looking back, and I didn’t bother to wave or honk. I didn’t dare. She might’ve pelted me with rotten eggs or something, she was so pissed off.
CHAPTER TEN
I thought I’d be okay about hurting Kate, but her words were haunting me, bothering me a lot more than I cared to admit. And as I had nothing better to do I decided to try another angle to find the killer. I thought about everything I knew so far and opted to concentrate on the boys instead. I knew for sure that the girls hadn’t done anything - well, except
