I let out a sigh of relief.
I am okay. And my mates are okay. That is all I can ask for.
“This isn’t a coincidence.” Asa clenches his fist. “I knew that you getting stabbed with that stake wasn’t a coincidence. Somebody knows who you are. They know that the prophecy is about you.”
I can’t argue that. We’re not even at the Elite Academy campus. There was no way that this was random. This was somebody targeting me specifically.
“They could still be out there.” Rowan looks around.
Henry shakes his head. “No. Whoever it is ran away.”
“Did they miss because they’re a bad shot, or was this just a warning shot?” Jude looks between Asa, Henry, and Rowan as he asks the question.
The truth is, we don’t know. There could be one person, there could be multiple people. All I know is, we’ve got to start taking this very seriously. They’re not afraid to hurt me, whoever they are. They are somebody who is willing to kill me for their cause. They’re dangerous.
“Everleigh doesn’t go out alone anymore. Ever.” Henry narrows his eyes.
“Agreed,” Asa, Jude, and Rowan all echo.
I want to argue with them, but I know that it wouldn’t do any good. Plus, they are right. What if I had been walking alone tonight? Would my mates have been too late to save me? What if the person decided to walk over and finish the job? Anything could have happened.
“We should probably get off the beach.” Jude looks toward the direction the shot came from behind us.
I start to get up and Henry ends up just lifting me into his arms, carrying me.
“I can walk,” I protest.
“I know.” Henry snuggles me closer to his chest, so I just relax into him.
Who am I to object when a man wants to carry me? Especially a man as sexy as Henry.
Henry and Asa both laugh, and I realize that I’m not blocking my thoughts. My face grows warm.
“You have nothing to be embarrassed about. We are your mates.” Asa opens the door to his house for us to walk inside.
He’s right.
All four of these men are mine. I don’t have anything to be ashamed about when it comes to them. I don’t have to hide my desires or fantasies, just as they don’t have to hide anything from me.
That prophecy scares the crap out of me. But that prophecy also brought me to these guys, so I can’t even be mad about it. I will have forever with Asa, Jude, Henry, and Rowan. And I won’t let anybody or anything come between us, not even death.
Fate chose me for a reason. And I know I’m strong enough to take it. And my mates, the way they surround me right now even though I am fine… I know that they will do everything in their power to protect me. Together we are unstoppable.
I’m stronger than I look, and I know I can do this.
I will fight whoever I have to. They messed with the wrong girl.
The end.
Book 2, Vampire Born, is coming soon!
Letter from Scarlett.
Welcome to Vampire School.
Ah! I’m so excited for this book to finally be out! This book has been a long time in the making.
Whenever I wrote Mystic Academy, I knew that I wanted to write about Riley and Cayson’s daughter. I also knew that I wanted their daughter to fight for the rights of the bitten vampires. I’m so excited to see this story play out and I’m excited for Everleigh and her mates.
If you did enjoy this book, it would mean a lot to me if you left a review wherever you picked this up. As a self-published author, it helps me out so much!
