.I’m not saying you have to support the procreation of our kind, or even support our existence, but at some point you’re going to have to, at the very least, accept it.”She folded her hands in her lap, meeting my gaze head on.“Why?”“Why not?”She shrugged, her brows rising and falling in unison.“I have no reason to.”“Aren’t you tired of fighting?”“No.Because I’m not the one out there fighting.”Kalia’s head snapped back.“What?” she snarled.“Don’t get yourself worked up.” She quickly dismissed the young girl.“You see, Alexa, I don’t have to fight.I have others who do it for me.I suppose you would probably compare me to the pastor sending his church out to campaign against gay and lesbian rights rather than going himself.”I searched my mind for a new angle.Any other angle.This wasn’t working.This wasn’t working and I was slowly slipping behind a quiet rage.Cecilia had no remorse.She ruined lives and didn’t care.She acted as if she was being a good citizen, but…“Where’s Jewel?” Derek asked, with a knowing grin on his face.He winked at me.Cecilia’s face pinched as she glared at him.“That’s not your concern.”Jewel? That was definitely a female’s name.Tread carefully.Practically spearing Derek for asking about her.Cecilia was… “Cecilia, are you gay?”“That’s no concern of yours,” she said through a clenched jaw.“Then who is Jewel? You obviously care about her a lot to react like that.”She rose up from her seat.“You’ve got two seconds to get out of my face before I do something crass,” she stated.I stood in front of her, though I was a good six inches shorter, I didn’t back down.“Female vampires can’t have children.That means she is your lover, or at least someone you love.”She growled.“Enough!”“You are a selfish lover if I ever met one then because, if you stopped this big radical venture of yours, your lover could walk free.You keep her under wraps because if people knew she was yours, then her life would be in danger, wouldn’t it be?”“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” She grabbed me by the neck.“One wrong move and you're done.”The guys moved in on her, but I immediately held out my hands to stop them.The storm brewing in her eyes told me the truth even when she didn’t.“You want a wrong move? Your people killed a man I loved, the same way the woman you love is going to end up: dead.You know how I know that? Because he’s proof!” I lit up, electricity sparking on my surface.I couldn’t hold back my emotions anymore.I couldn’t fight my fury when it needed to be released.I would never get over Kai’s death; I could never accept it knowing others would face the same fate in spite of it.She dropped me in a split second, shaking out her hand.I inched closer to her, allowing my rage to intensify, giving it free rein on my surface.I reveled in the way she leaned away from me.“You think you’re protecting her here? Not on your life, sister.You can’t escape fate, and fate dictates that you will fall under your own sins.The war you’re starting over something we can’t change is going to have your enemies at your doorstep ensuring she’s killed.And let me tell you, sweetie, you can’t bring her back to life! She’ll never come back, and you’ll have to live with that guilt for the rest of your life.Because it’ll be your fault.All.Your.Fault.“Instead of accepting vampeens, knowing they can’t change what they’re born as or born into, is an ignorant mentality for a gay person considering you can’t change the fact that you were born this way with this longing yet are ridiculed just the same.So congratulations.You got your wish.You stole a man I loved.But you forgot one thing.Karma’s a bitch!”My heart pounded in my chest, my pulse thumped erratically.My baby boy’s heartbeat reflected my own.Shit.I needed to calm down.I took a step back from her.She hadn’t moved and merely continued to glare at me like I was the abomination she claimed.I focused on taking deep breaths.“That’s it, baby cakes.She’s not worth it.” Drex met my gaze, reassuring me, encouraging me with his eyes.Slowly, I returned to a normal state.The blue dissipated as quickly as it’d appeared.I rubbed my belly, trying to calm my son.Cecilia sat back down in her chair, crossing her legs and cupping her hands in her lap [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
