frowned. “You can’t go anywhere until you change.”
    I laughed bitterly. “I’m not changing Aleks, it isn’t happening. I’m still me, just a bit different. I’m the same as I was, when I was at Blake’s a week ago. Too bad Blake’s didn’t work out, I could use a shower.”
    He nodded laughing. “Your body had to be healed by Dorian’s blood, before it can start to transform. You were on your deathbed. Dorian saved you, as much as that disgusts me. Now that you’re all healed up inside, the change should start to take place.”
    I frowned at him. “Why do you hate him, beyond the obvious winning personality traits I experienced?”
    He shook his head. “I don’t hate him, I just don’t like dark angels. Everything they touch somehow turns to shit. Anyway, I want to get you somewhere warm for the night.”
    I smirked at him. “Okay. I smell.”
    He laughed. It was still weak but he seemed to be a little perkier.
    I was pretty sure I was thinking of the same thing as he was, a hotel room. That could get awkward.
    Thinking about what had happened the other day with Shane I changed my mind. “Uhh, we should probably stay out here. We can make a fire again.”
    Aleks looked at me doubtfully. “What’s wrong?”
    I bit my lower lip and sighed feeling ashamed of myself. “I saw Shane the other day. He came here and was so angry with me. Blake had told him everything that’s happened so far.”
    “ Blake knows everything, everything including me?” He didn’t sound impressed.
    I knew my eyes answered for me, when disappointment filled his face.
    He raised his eyebrows at me. “I told you those things in confidence.”
    I shook my head. “Aleks, you kept leaving me and I didn’t know what to do or where to go. I just needed someone on my team.”
    He gripped my shoulders harshly. “I am always on your team. I just know what kind of danger I bring with me, everywhere I go.”
    “ Shane was very angry about what happened between us. He was cruel and I deserved every second of it. I dated you both at the same time. I’m disgusting.”
    Aleks chewed the side of his lower lip. “You shouldn’t be around him anyway. Firstly, I don’t like it and secondly, you could hurt him.”
    All I heard was him, I could hurt him.
    I frowned. “I can’t hurt you?”
    He laughed. “No. I am doomed to walk the earth alone, nothing can hurt me. Do you honestly think, I’ve never attempted dying?”
    I hadn’t ever thought about it. I assumed he enjoyed his life of eternity, doing whatever he wanted and exploring. Well, beyond helping the odd family.
    Aleks looked at me and rolled his eyes. “It’s not like in the movies, Aimee. I don’t have a mansion somewhere with all kinds of international money and friends in all the right places. I am alone almost all of the time, except for the odd demon or other mythical being. Anyway, did you hurt Shane?”
    I nodded, flinching at the ever-increasing disappointment in his eyes. “It was an accident. I grabbed him to try to make him listen and my hands pulled from him like they were sucking on him. I looked at him and he was still, like a zombie and I was filling up. I let go and he left. He seemed dizzy and weird afterward.”
    He smirked at me. “You got lucky, your abilities haven’t set in yet. Until you learn to control that, you might want to refrain from touching anyone.” He looked at me through his lashes. “Except me, of course.”
    I smiled at him, knowing I probably wouldn't be able to touch him, not while Shane was alive. That gave us anywhere from sixty to eighty years to work out what we were to each other. It made me smile disgustedly. It was the life sentence I deserved.
    We walked back up the beach, to where I had built my fire initially, and I watched as he made the new fire. He was much faster at it than I was, and within a very short amount of time, we were sitting by a very warm fire. I felt the damp and the cold, but I didn’t hurt or ache the way I would have before kissing Dorian.
    I needed to see my family, before Blake decided to continue his witch-hunt and tell my sister. I didn’t want Blake filling their heads with all sorts of truth, without me explaining. I hadn’t chosen the path I was on, because I had a death wish. I looked at Aleks and recalled how it had only been a few weeks, since I was ready to die to be with him.
    If I could have one wish, I would end everything between us, just to have all of them back again.
