Bullshit. Since I woke up in the infirmary after her demigod powers had unlocked, she’d been telling me that she really didn’t remember her time with Hyperion, and I knew that was a lie.

Her nightmares confirmed that.

“Are you okay?” she asked, walking into the bedroom.

“Huh?”

She sat down on the bed and toed her shoes off. “Are you okay?” she repeated as she pulled her sweatshirt off, tossing it on the floor.

“Yeah.” I leaned against the doorframe. “Why are you asking that?”

She raised a shoulder. “You were just kind of . . . distant during training and whatnot. Just making sure you’re fine.”

My gaze dipped to where she wiggled her toes. Last night I’d slept in my own room, needing the space to clear my head and get the residual anger out. It hadn’t felt right being with her when I knew I really didn’t care if I killed that kid or not.

Didn’t feel right being here right now.

But this was where I was at, and I didn’t plan on changing that at the moment. Leaving was what a decent person would’ve done.

“I’m okay,” I said finally. “So, you scared those pures?”

She grinned as she nodded. “Dude, they got up and ran. And I mean, they ran. It kind of felt awesome.”

I chuckled as I pushed out of the doorway. “Aren’t you a little badass.”

“I was totally a badass. Like, I felt like a . . .” She paused, her mouth soundlessly moving as I pulled my shirt over my head.

My grin was slow, indulgent, as her gaze dropped and roamed over my bare chest and stomach. I kicked off my boots, along with my socks. “What were you saying, Josie?”

Shaking her head, she blinked rapidly. “I . . . I hadn’t meant to use the air element, though. I was going for water.”

“Not surprised.”

“Ass.”

Stretching out on my side beside her, I winked. “What? Hey. At least you successfully used an element without doing serious damage.”

“Oh. Wow. Is that supposed to be a compliment?”

“Sure. If that makes you feel good about yourself.”

She rolled her eyes. “You’re such a charmer.”

“It’s what I excel at best.” I snagged her hand and tugged her down beside me. “On a serious note, you okay with people around here finding out what you are?”

Her nose scrunched. Gods, I still found that cute as hell. “I guess. I mean, I don’t really have an option at this point. What do you think?”

“I think it will be okay.” I slipped my finger under the strap of her tank top. “And if not, if you get mad, you’ll just blow them all away while trying to drown them.”

“Shut up,” she laughed.
