I wake up slowly to the feeling of being toasty warm and the sound of my cousin’s voice telling me she can’t wait until I come to Katmere Academy.
It takes me a minute to get my bearings—to remember where I am and who I am with. But as every horrible thing that happened yesterday floods my brain, I sit up so fast that I nearly fall off the couch.
“Macy?” I call, shoving my wild curls out of my face as I pray that it was all just a dream. That every messed-up thing that happened yesterday was part of the most elaborate nightmare I’ve ever had. “What’s going o—”
I break off as three things hit me at the exact same time.
One, I’m covered with what might very well be the softest, warmest blanket ever made.
Two, Macy is not in this room with me.
And three, Hudson Vega has my phone.
Even worse, it appears he is taking liberal advantage of me sleeping to scroll through every piece of content that he can get his thumbs on. The bastard.
“Hey!” I shout, making a lunge for the phone. But my throat is dry, my eyes are barely open, and my just-woke-up coordination is nothing compared to a vampire’s. Especially when that vampire is Hudson.
He’s off the couch and halfway across the room before I can do much more than get myself out from under the ridiculous blanket he obviously covered me with. For a second, it seems like a confusing gesture—Hudson actually doing something nice for me—as I do have a vague recollection of being cold in the middle of the night.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I demand, ignoring my pounding heart and the knife I still have stashed in the couch as I race across the room to him. One part of my brain is screaming at me that confronting him is a very bad idea, but the other half is yelling at me to get my damn phone back.
It’s the second half that I listen to, because I refuse to spend however long we’re trapped in this place terrified of Hudson all the time. No matter how terrifying he is.
“Give that back,” I insist as I make a grab for my phone.
“Chill out, Princess,” he answers as he holds it just out of reach. “I was only looking through it to see if there was anything in it we could use to get ourselves out of here.”
“Like what? A secret code I just happened to forget about?” I ask in disgust.
“Maybe.” He shrugs. “Stranger things have happened.”
“Yeah, well, did you ever think to ask me about it instead of just invading my privacy?”
