what I want or don’t want?”
“You don’t know enough to decide,” Beck explained with a
dismissive wave. “Back up. We have to leave now.”
Meg backed off as Dante hopped on the cycle in one graceful
move.
“I left you my computer.” Dante nodded in her direction. “I
showed you how to use it, remember? Look up bonding, and it will
give you a description of how to get Cian to bond with you. It’s
connected to the web on the Vampire plane. You should be able to
find just about any information you need.”
Meg nodded her head dully. Beck was really leaving, and he
hadn’t kissed her goodbye. Hell, if she hadn’t woken when she did, he
would have left without seeing her at all. She took a deep breath and
tried to come to terms with the fact that she had, perhaps, been wrong
about him. He hadn’t really wanted her. Men could feel lust for
women they didn’t really care about. He had explained it at the time.

His brother was dying. They needed a bondmate, and she was the
only one to be found. Was it such a surprise that, having done his
duty, he would want to be away from her?
All that other stuff, all the stuff about caring about her and never

had told her what she wanted to hear to get her to do something. She
had to give Beck a little credit. At least he had done it to save his
brother.
“I’ll be back in a few weeks.” Beck looked slightly concerned for
the first time. He slid off the bike and came to stand in front of her.
He towered over her, but this time his massive size didn’t make her
feel secure. “You’ll be fine.”
