Dark Memories
Scarlet Cloak
Midnight.
Lost in memories, I lie curled up, covered by my scarlet cloak. Even on the coldest of nights, this cloak warms me. He has made sure of that.
He gave it to me in the middle of death and danger, when a murderous vampire stalked me through the forests. He said I looked like Little Red Riding Hood. Then he sent me away to be safe.
Now I have to wonder when he'll return. I'm almost eighteen now, old enough by the new laws of the Carpathians to be taken by a male as a lifemate. I am mortal still, still somewhat human, and old enough in the eyes of Prince Mikhail and Gregori, his second.
It's strange, as I think about it. Gregori is my uncle, Gabriel's older brother. Savannah, the Prince's daughter, she tamed him when she was only a few years older than I am now. But how can I do that? How can I tame a Carpathian male like the one who seeks to claim me for his own?
Will he come for me? Sweep me up and take me away from my mother and father, my little sister? Will he steal me away like a thief in the night? Or has he already greeted the dawn? Surely I would know if he were dead...
Wolf song echoes through the night. This night is colder than many, and lonely. The howling chorus breaks my heart as I wrap the red velvet of my cape tighter about me. My heart aches, and my soul weeps. It's almost as if I miss Dimitri.
Remembering the way he twirled the cape around my shoulders and tied it snug, I nestle into the comfort of my own memories and the warmth of my scarlet cloak.
