Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Nine
| woke up, squinting against the bright lights; it took a moment for my eyes to adjust to it.
Was | dead?
| stared around the room.
This place looked familiar.
This was Nick's room.
The past day even flashed past my mind. | stared at my wrist to see the bite mark. It hadn't been a dream; Nick
had wings, and he also had very sharp teeth.
‘Did it work?’ That was the next question on my mind.
Just then | noticed Nick; he was making coffee.
| rose from the bed, feeling a bit light-headed from the abrupt movement. “You might need to sit for a while;
you've lost a lot of blood,” he says.
“What happened... did it work?” | asked, my eyes wide and hopeful.
He finally turned to me, and | could see the sadness in his eyes. He shook his head. “No. It didn’t work. You

A wave of disappointment filled me. | just wasn’t good enough.
“But you survived; that is the most important thing. Your mother had been worried about you, and with you in
my room, she thinks we were ‘busy’ last night.” He said, as if hoping | would say something, but no words came

“It doesn’t make sense; she said it didn’t work, and she doesn’t make mistakes.”
“Maybe... it took stto hit off,” | say with a shrug. The smile on my face only grew wider, but Nick
seemed even more surprised than | was.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Nick walked to the door, and I tried hiding away, but my wings were impossible to hide. | tried putting them back
in, but that didn’t work.
Nick pulled the door open, poking his head through the narrow opening.
“Nick,” my mother’s cheery voice called out. | could imagine her with a wide smile on her face, thinking | had
had sex with Nick last night. “I was wondering if Riley is awake; | would really love to see her.”
Oh shit.
| tried staying still, but my wings mistakenly knocked down a small wooden box.
She heard that.
“Riley dear,” she called out.
