lips. “I suppose there could be a third player in the
mix that I haven’t met yet. Tristan had enough opportunities to
kill me if he wanted,” she said. “And Stone, he looked genuinely
freaked out. I’ve seen that look before. It can’t be faked. Not
that I can blame him with Frosty on his trail. To be honest, I
don’t trust either one of them.”
    Everly giggled.
    “What?” Izzy asked.
    She smiled. “I think it’s funny that you’re
calling Tristan silly names. I’ve never heard you do that when
referring to one of them,” Everly said. “Normally, you just call
them all monsters. Hmm...”
    Izzy sat up straighter. Hard to do on a lumpy
couch that sagged in the middle. “He’s still a monster,” she said.
“If you saw him, there’d be no doubt in your mind.” She pictured
Tristan’s handsome face and godlike body. “Okay, he might fool you
for a minute, but not for any longer.”
    Everly arched a dark, pierced brow. “I
believe you,” she said. “Just thought I’d point it out. In case you
weren’t aware that you were doing it.” She crawled off the beanbag
and walked over to an unlit candle. Everly pulled a lighter out of
her pocket. The candle flared to life. “If you had to trust one of
them, who would it be?”
    Izzy considered the question. Her mind
replayed the searing kiss she’d shared with Tristan. It had stirred
her more than she’d cared to admit.
    “Stone, definitely Stone,” Izzy said. The
kiss alone had proven how dangerous Tristan could be. “His fear was
real, and I didn’t see a beast lurking beneath the surface when I
used my gift to look at him.”
    “Did your skin crawl?” Everly asked.
    “No,” she said, then added, “but I didn’t
feel comfortable around him. It might’ve been because I’d just
gotten away from Tristan. When I’m stressed, my readings aren’t as
reliable.”
    “Maybe you’re right about a third player
being in town,” Everly said.
    “Maybe.”
    Everly tilted her dark head, sending black
hair over one eye. “You said you didn’t see a beast, when you
looked at Stone, but you obviously saw something that freaked you
out.”
    “Smoke,” Izzy said. “Or maybe it was shadows.
Whatever it was, it obscured his features for a moment. All I know
for sure is that I didn’t see a monster.”
    Everly stared at her for a long time.
    “What?” Izzy asked.
    “Not sure yet,” Everly said.
    “Listen, I appreciate you letting me stay
here last night, but more than anything I came to warn you to get
out of town,” Izzy said.
    Everly glanced at her nails. “I’m not going
anywhere,” she said.
    “It’s not safe,” Izzy said. “It is only a
matter of time before they find me—and you.”
    Everly leveled her gaze on her. “I’m tired of
running from them,” she said. “Aren’t you?”
    Yes, she was, but what other choice did she
have?
    “Not sure if you noticed, but they’re
everywhere,” Everly said, sounding as tired as Izzy felt. “If they
wanted me dead, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Lately,
I’m beginning to think that they aren’t all bad. I ran into one at
the Dungeon the other night.”
    Izzy gasped. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
    Everly shrugged. “I wasn’t sure how you’d
handle the news.”
    Izzy touched her hand. “What happened?”
    Everly pulled back. “That’s just it. Nothing
happened,” she said. “He introduced himself then bought me a drink.
We chatted for a while, then he left without asking for my
number.”
    Was it her imagination, or did Everly sound disappointed ? “Oh God, not you, too,” Izzy said. “First
Mindy, now you.”
    “What do you mean?” Everly crossed her arms
over her chest.
    “You liked him.” She didn’t bother to hide
the accusation in her voice.
    Everly’s mouth dropped open. “I did not. He
was just some guy.”
    “Liar,” Izzy said. “Mindy said the same
thing, then I had a vision about her and one of them. They
were...let’s just say I never want
