Page 33 of Hot Vampire Next Door: Season Three

“The fact that you had me for a century, but never had my love. It took Jessie barely any time at all.”

Holyyyyy shitttt.

He did not just say that!

I clamp my hand over my mouth to hide the smile that involuntarily spreads across my face.

I don’t want to gloat, but…holy shit.

What was it Bran said to me earlier?

Before the little mouse decided to play games, she should have asked herself if she knew how to win.

Bran loves me and he’s not afraid to tell everyone he does and somehow that feels like winning.

Sky glares up at Bran. “You’ll break her eventually,” she says. “Like you break everything you love.”

Bran’s shoulders rock back and the air grows charged.

I don’t have to be a mind reader to sense his thoughts have gone dark.

I don’t know if it’s bravery or stupidity, but I step between them. “What do you want, Sky?”

She crosses her arms over her chest. “Damien wants you,” she tells Bran.

“For what?”

“The Alpha of the Midnight Pack just showed up on our doorstep asking to see you and Damien.”

I glance at Bran over my shoulder. “Were we expecting Cal?”

I know Bran much better than I did a month ago and the look on his face is the look of a secret.

“Bran,” I say again. There should be no secrets between us. He promised me.

“We weren’t expecting Cal. Not exactly,” he admits.

“What does that mean?”

“He knows something about your Pledge tomorrow. Something about Julian.”

Sky pushes away from us and starts down the hall. “Apparently, the Alpha has a psychic on his payroll and the psychic had a vision,” she says as she walks away. “It’s smart, really, if you can find a legit psychic. Most are charlatans.”

“Did he say what the vision was?” I ask.

“Just that Kelly is going to die.”

Episode 43

That One is Mine

Kelly is going to die.

Sky’s declaration is like a bomb going off.

“What?” I shout and my voice echoes down the hallway. “Bran? No. We can’t—”

He grabs me to pull me to a stop. “Look at me.”
