Silence echoed endlessly over the water. I stared at the gentle swell of the
waves as the moonlight highlighted them beyond the back of the speed
boat and tried to hold the shattering pieces of my heart together.
I chewed on my bottom lip, wondering if it had already happened. Had
Montana changed beyond all recognition? Her features smoothed and
perfected? Her canines filled with venom and sharpened just the right
amount to pierce human flesh and give her the one thing she would crave
above all else?
Perhaps she’d already awoken and had realised what had happened to
her. What I’d let happen to her. Would she hate me? Would she wish I’d let
her die a mortal death? Or would she forgive me for my weakness? Maybe
she’d even like being a monster…
I’m so sorry, Monty. I should have saved you. This should never have
happened.
I reached out and touched the freezing water with my trembling
fingertips, trying to distract myself with the bite of cold, but nothing could
dull the fear I felt for my sister. It had all happened so fast in the end. She’d
been there with me, warm and alive until somehow she’d been falling and
thenI closed my eyes and tried not to re-live that moment, tried not to hear
the horrifying crack as she’d struck the ground, tried not to break over how
close I had come to losing her, tried to convince myself I hadn’t lost her at
all.
Julius had taken us out to sea, chasing the horizon until New York City
was reduced to a cluster of glimmering lights in the distance and our blades
had stopped burning with the proximity of so many vampires. Then he’d cut
the engine.
The silence stretched between us and I knew that the brothers had no
idea what to do now. We’d brokered some kind of fragile peace with Erik
Belvedere, united over our hatred of the gods. But what did that mean for us
now?
He was still our enemy. Even if he had wanted to halt the fight in the
end. It didn’t change anything. And yet it changed everything.
I wished the phone would ring, this endless torment of waiting for news
burning me up from the inside out. But I had no idea what I’d say to my
sister when she did call. I’m sorry? But was I even sorry?
You’re selfish. You couldn’t bear to lose her, so you cursed her instead.
But hadn’t she been considering the idea of turning anyway? She’d been
the one to insist the prophecy wanted her to be a vampire. And though I’d
never have agreed to her doing it under any other circumstance, with her
body broken beyond all chance of recovery, what other choice could there
have been?
Magnar still hadn’t said anything to me about what I’d done. He hadn’t
spoken a word about the choice I’d made, and I hadn’t dared broach the
subject because I knew exactly how he felt about it. He wouldn’t have made
the same choice.
