Chapter 20: Chapter 20: The Recording

The recording begins with the part I was still there for, but, as soon as I’m gone, Chase breaks into a terse whisper-shout. “What the h*ll are you thinking?”

“What do you mean?” Nick’s voice replies.

“He’s human!” Chase bellows softly. “He’s gong to get killed, either for knowing the secret or because the Bloodfangs kill him!”

“No, he won’t,” Nick says. “I know he’s not human.” That statement takes me aback. Could they be talking about someone other than me? Who could that possibly be in this context? No one. They have to be talking about me, but if they are, what the h*ll is Nick talking about? What does he mean I’m not human?

Nick follows that bombshell up with another. “He’s my mate.” I’m his f*cking what, now? This one is easier to understand. He’s clearly into me. That doesn’t give him the right to be f*cking creepy, though.

“How the h*ll is that possible?” Chase asks.

“I think his mother had him on bane.” Nick answers.
