I’d never heard of such a thing; my head spun. Ithaki were fey hybrids, and Paladins were wolf ones. Holy shit.
“Yes. But the witch bloodline has obviously diluted over a millennium. Should I come over? We can talk about this more.” He sounded concerned.
My mind spun with all of this knowledge, but I shook my head. “No. No, I’m tired, I just want to process this and sleep.”
“Okay, yeah. See you at breakfast?” He sounded hopeful.
“See you then.”
When he hung up, I looked down at my hands and wondered if there was a way to see if I had any witch blood inside of me.
Obviously not. Oh my God, Sawyer would never marry me if he knew what I was…
My mind shuffled through all of this information until about one a.m. when I finally passed out from exhaustion.
I awoke to a blaring siren.My eyelids snapped open and my phone rang.
“Hello.” I was groggy and out of it. What time was it? Why didn’t the siren stop when I answered the phone?
“Stay in your dorm. Don’t leave no matter what,” Sawyer told me, and hung up.
What the…? It hit me then that the siren was thevampireattack siren.
I bolted upright and looked at the clock. Three a.m.
Rushing to my closet, I threw on jeans, and then did a ten second teeth brush and tied my hair up in a bun. Why was I getting ready? I had no idea, but if the freaking vamps were here, I wanted to be ready for anything.
Someone banged on my door and I froze. Were they coming for me again?
“Open up!” Sage yelled, and relief rolled through me.
I pulled open the door to see her gripping a samurai sword in one hand, and a gun at her hip. Throwing stars and stakes were tucked into her belt.
“Whoa. What’s going on?” I backed up into the room and shut the door behind her.
Sage sighed. “They’re here to arrest Sawyer.”
It was like time stopped. My mouth went dry at her words. “What! Who?”
Her hands shook. “Well, I assume so. My mom just texted me that the Drakes are here investigating the murder of their son.”
Oh shit, shit, shit.As much as I loved Sawyer for avenging my honor or whatever, and wiping that douchebag off the face of this earth, killing the prince of the most powerful vampire coven in the country was not smart.
“At three a.m.!” I shouted.
She shrugged. “It’s day for them. Vampires, remember?”
Duh. I knew that. The vampires at Delphi had to take special pills to keep them awake in order to go to school, and then another set of pills to be able to sleep at night and adapt in the human world. Contrary to fantasy stories, they could go out in the sun, it just wasn’t natural for them. Their circadian rhythm was all off.
“Where are they holding him?” I moved for the door and she reached out to stop me.
“In the registration building, but you can’t go. The alpha is sending guards to keep an eye on you and I. They know we will try to interfere.”
I chewed my lip. “Well, why are you armed to the teeth if we can’t help?”
She paced my carpet. “I dunno. In case they attack.”
I froze, a thought coming to me: “The alpha is sending guards to watch over us?”
