Chapter 42: Sofia
I stood staring across our kitchen table at Derek.
“A setup,” I murmured.
“What else could this be?” He glared back at me. “As soon as they realized we’d shown up without Anna, those vampires had Caleb concoct an excuse to enter this island—that he was returning Rose to us. And while he was here, he swiped Anna.”
His words sent my head into a tailspin. Every inch of the island had been searched. Anna had well and truly disappeared. Kyle was distraught, although he was trying to put on a brave face for Ariana and Jason.
“I can’t believe we could have been so stupid and gullible as to trust that vampire,” Derek seethed, throwing his hands in the air.
“Derek,” I gasped, tears burning my eyes. “Anna’s pregnant. She’s eight months pregnant, goddamn it!”
I picked up a vase from the table and hurled it against the floor, shattering it into a thousand pieces.
I sank to my knees, fighting back the tears. I never had been one to express my feelings with violence, but this was about Anna.
Whoever is responsible for Anna’s disappearance—be it Caleb or someone else—has just called upon a very different side of me than anyone is used to witnessing.
