Story: Dancing With Death
Yeah, this is my favorite way to see my mate. We’ll have to make sure she has more to smile and laugh about and less to stress about.
After all, isn’t that what we’re meant to do as her mates?
Chapter Sixteen
Audrey
IsighasIwatchNex bolt from the classroom once again.
It’s been two weeks since I saw him and Brenden kiss. Now, he’s not speaking to me or Brenden. It’s making both of us more than a little grumpy.
I know I can’t force Nex to accept our bond, but after Brenden filled me in on the fact that it’s guilt holding Nex back. I figured between the two of us, we’d be able to convince him to give this thing a chance.
Let’s just say the plan isn’t going well. In case you didn’t get that from him running away from me again.
He hasn’t bothered packing up at the end of class after the first time I approached him. I guess he’s coming back later, after I’m gone.
That’s a lot of effort for someone to hang onto their guilt over something that happened over two thousand years ago.
At least Cassian and Wraith haven’t gotten into any more fistfights—although that could be because they haven’t been in the same room since the last fight.
Everything was so easy with my first three mates, but nothing can seem to go right with Nex and Cassian.
I fucking hate it.
Sighing, I grab my bag from the desk and grab my phone.
DONOVAN
You have visitors.
AUDREY
Visitors? As in plural.
DONOVAN
Yup. And before you ask—it’s not Cassian.
AUDREY
Did my besties come to see me?
DONOVAN
Nope. Not them either.
Maybe stop guessing and come home to see who it is?
I frown, wondering who the hell else would come visit me. It’s not like I know a ton of people living in the underworld.
I guess it could be Wren, but I’m not sure who she’d have with her. Unlike me, she hasn’t made any friends so far. I’m a little worried about her since she’s always been a social butterfly.
Did we switch personalities upon death?
That seems unlikely.
I tuck away my phone and hurry toward the house, wishing I had wings like Nex or was able to travel through the shadows like Wraith. It would be so much more convenient.
