you not understand?”
    “Okay, okay. I got it. Dang.”
    “That’s more like it.”
    Bijoux waited until Percy was out of hearing distance before speaking her mind. “I know you don’t want to admit it, but he’s right about you not telling anyone the truth. You can’t jeopardize your new position — as weird as that sounds. That whole turn you into a Breeder thing can’t be good.”
    Halen nodded in agreement. “I know, right. I really hope we’ll be able to stay together.”
    Bijoux smiled. “Yeah, that would be cool, but I wouldn’t count on it.” She stretched out her long tan legs while suppressing a yawn. “We should get to sleep. I have a feeling tomorrow is going to be an interesting day.”
    “Night.” Halen closed her eyes, praying for sleep to hurry up and find her. The beautiful boy’s image danced through her mind. Who is he? her heart cried out. Why do I recall his face so clearly? she wondered. She knew if she could remember the part he played in her past, her life would be complete.

    Kieran and Camden decided to make an unplanned stop in Atlanta before arriving at Magnolia Grove. Their plan was to spend a few days shopping for new wardrobes at the trendy downtown boutiques and partying at the local clubs before facing the wrath of the Bourdon family. Kieran hoped a new wardrobe would change his image in his father’s eyes. His plan was to look as out of place as possible when he arrived home.
    The moment they arrived in town, Camden disappeared to search the seedier parts of the city for his missing family, while Kieran booked himself a room at the Sun Decker Inn. Feeling reckless and out of sorts, Kieran tossed and turned for hours, searching for a comfortable position, to no avail. He flipped over on his back and stared at the ceiling. His mind raced with thoughts of his father. It had been years since they’d seen each other — sometimes it seemed like a lifetime. They shared nothing in common, and sadly, they never would.
    His father’s first and only true love was the Hive. Yes, his father chose to remarry after his mother’s death, but it was a marriage of convenience — another way to keep up appearances. The leader of the Hive always appeared more powerful with a beautiful woman in his arm…and his father was all about the power…the more power the better.
    Still unable to sleep, Kieran climbed out of bed and slipped on a pair of black skinny jeans before pulling a tight fitting black tee-shirt over his head. Shaking out his shaggy hair, he wrapped a purple scarf around his neck and slid his feet into a pair of yellow Converse One Stars.
    He paced the room like a caged animal. It felt strange having nothing to keep his mind and body occupied. He missed his little mobile home in Key West and the tranquil turquoise blue ocean. He continued to wear a path in the shag carpet, his thoughts focused on his friend. Camden had made stupid choices in his life, but returning to the Grove had to take the proverbial cake. Camden was going to get himself killed and he could do nothing to prevent it from happening. He couldn’t seem to shake his fear. Neither one of them would be truly safe until they returned to Florida.
    Kieran checked his watch. Stepping out on the small balcony, he leaned against the railing staring down at the busy street below. A slow moving vehicle caught his attention and he leaned over to get a closer look. He did a quick double-take, surprised to see Percy Nickelson behind the wheel. He was even more surprised to see Halen, her honey-colored curls falling across her bent shoulders.
    He stared, mesmerized by her silhouette. Why someone so beautiful would choose to hookup with a low-life like Percy Nickelson was beyond him. He quickly turned around and stepped back into the room before they had a chance to notice him. The room’s khaki-green carpet reminded him of Halen’s eyes. Never in his life had he seen eyes so perfectly green. He shrugged his
