My face falls, but he reaches out, cupping my cheek with one warm hand. "I'm furious that you put yourself in danger. That's all."
Well, that's fair.
But I'd do it again. In a heartbeat. No matter what he thinks.
His eyes narrow. "You're thinking that you'd do it again, aren't you?" Suspicion laces his voice.
Maybe avoiding the question is better than answering it. "Where do we go from here?"
"With what?" His thumb rubs over my cheek, his golden eyes dark as he watches me.
"Everything. Lisa. The vampires. My powers."
He sighs. "I don't know. It's a lot to think about."
When his hand drops from my face, I'm disappointed by the absence of his warmth. Still, I try to focus on what's important. "Have you ever heard of the Mad Prince before?"
"No." Lucas frowns. "Unfortunately, we don't know a lot about vampires and the Unregistered cities. A few basic things, but we've become complacent in the overall peace of the world. I'm going to have to fix that mistake."
"How?"
