It made my heart flutter to watch him, and in that moment, I forgot we were ever arguing at all. “Well, I couldn’t really decide on what book to get you, since I guess we don’t talk about that kind of stuff very much. But I know you really like books, because I watch you a lot. Not in a creepy way though, I mean, I just notice things—” How sweet, I thought, gazing up at him while he fumbled for words. “Anyway, I thought you should get your pick, you know? Whatever you want. It’s a Kindle, and there’s a lifetime subscription already on it. I figured it would be useful because you’re always carrying around those heavy stacks of books and needing help with carrying them around.”

Challenged him. Why was she here? She found herself considering how to leave. Politely. He grinned. “What I mean is the life is different when the body, the book, is, what, a computer tablet? A teeny-tiny phone?” A long sigh. “Pages, real pages, have a hunger to them. A need that isn’t answered when you push a button or, well, whatever it is you do with a whatchamacallit.” “A Kindle.” “Right. A Kindle. Books are greedy to be read. They’re desperate.

She said you have an unlimited account now so you can read whatever you want to. And it’s already connected to the library, so you don’t have to go there to check out digital books.

“I’m telling you, staring at that thing all the time won’t make your crush text you back.” “Mom! That’s so rude! I don’t even have a crush,” Dasha snapped, clearly annoyed and a little embarrassed. “I’m just reading stories on Kindle!” “Kindle? Isn’t that the app where all those steamy, raunchy novels are? The ones that make Fifty Shades look like a church sermon?” Aunt Lori said, her tone dripping with suspicion. “Mom! That’s not true!” Dasha protested, blushing as she stabbed at her scrambled eggs. “Kindle is for all kinds of stories, okay? And not all of them are… you know, like that.”

Whether I liked it or not. If it were up to me, the council would be dissolved altogether but the council made the people feel safe. All twelve members of the council had been elected by the people themselves. Eight hundred years ago, Jared Caldore had been the lycan king. He had stolen money from the people. During his reign, the people had to pay insanely high amounts of taxes. He forced women and children to go to war against the vampires. Jared killed anyone that spoke against him.

"Here." *You bought me a Kindle? she asks, amazed. "Why? I already have one." 'I bought one for each of my cars so you don't have to worry about carrying it everywhere. Or forgetting like you do with your phone." "That's really thoughtful of you daddy," she whispers breathlessly. clutching the e-reader tighter. The city lights dancing on her face. "'i pay y-"

After three or four more days of him there daily, Arianna was starting to get used to his cheerful voice and his guffaws, or the serious talks with the Chairman and others about hacienda affairs while they drink coffee after lunch wherein he appeared solid in his authority, and she wondered if Eric would be like him when he grew old because he already was good about being imposing and autocratic, anyway. She didn’t dwell on the little pricks of pain she felt thinking this. She was missing him so much. At the end of the first week, a worker from the office brought two boxes to the house. He said one of the family drivers brought them from Manila with an instruction from Eric they were to be d
