With the
support of her faithful Hunters, Anala travels home for the first time in centuries. After six hundred years of
living, what could possibly be out there that she hasn’t seen? What she finds
will shock even her.
We met Anala
and her eclectic group of Hunters in Destined to Kill. We experienced their
pain in Destined to Love. In Destined to Meet, Anala will face her past,
present and future all at once. Will she survive the journey? Will her Hunters?
And, what will Anala choose to do when she finds out the Society of Hunters and
her parents’ legacy are in jeopardy?
This is the
final book in the Destined Series. Follow Anala and her Hunters in their final
quest to see how it all ends.
"Well.
This is . . . quaint." Eric pushes open the room door to the one and only
place to stay here in the village.
I told you.
Eric is a total politician since the room we're standing in is a complete broom
closet. The good thing is there's absolutely no one around and we have the
place to ourselves. So, we rented out four rooms. I think the owners of this
'quaint' little place were a bit stunned, and completely happy to hand over the
keys to half of their rooms.
"Isn't
it though?" I murmur. All I can think of is how thin the walls are.
Somehow I doubt Sam and I will have any privacy, which sucks (pun intended)
because feeding from Sam definitely makes me . . .
"Ana?"
I clear my
throat as Sam laughs quietly. "Yes, Emily?"
"Have you
heard from Amanda?"
"Yes.
Assuming Tania is on her way here, they're about thirty minutes out. Why don't
you two get some sleep? We'll need to keep eyes on Tania at all times unless
she ends up bunking down somewhere."
Eric and
Emily nod, and Sam and I leave them to go to the farthest room away.
Sam pushes
the door close and backs me up against it. "Feeding from me makes you
what?" he asks gruffly.
"I'm
pretty sure you know."
"I want
to hear you say it."
"Well I
don't!"
Amanda's
voice in my ear startles me so much I jump the entire distance of the room.
Okay, it's only like ten feet, but still.
"Damn
it, Amanda!" I put my hand over my heart. If I had any doubts that I had a
beating heart before, I certainly don't now.
"It's
not my fault you left the line open! And I certainly don't want to hear what
goes on between you and my brother!"
"Do you
have any updates?" The question comes out harsher than I meant for it to,
but she interrupted a nice moment that could have turned into
really nice moments.
"Don't
get all grumpy with me. At least you have someone to do stuff with that
shouldn't be done over an open line."
I open my
mouth to respond, then close it again. She's right. Amanda
finally got her crush to ask her out, and I totally ruin it
for her by recruiting her to the Society.
"Sorry."
There's an
awkward silence, and then a soft clearing of a throat.
"According to Jenna's search, Tania's friend's name is
Monica McKinney. Nothing scandalous to report about her. She's twenty-four and
works for a bank. She's been there since she graduated from high school. No
arrests, no tickets. She's an all-around Pollyanna as far as anyone can tell.
Jenna says she can hack into her Facebook to see who her friends are, but I
doubt that would help us much. They're definitely on their way there. We are
close to your village."
"It's
not my village anymore, Amanda," I inform her gently.
"Ana, a
part of you will always be there."
I ignore
that, and move on with the conversation. "Tell Jenna good job on the
search. Do you think Buffy and Willow will visit with the Priestess tonight or
find a place to sleep for the night?"
As soon as
the question is out of my mouth, I realize that the only place they can sleep
is right here where we are. Unless, of course, they know someone in the
village. If that's the case, we may get names of some of the other players.
"I'm
hoping they sleep, 'cause I'm tired as hell."
I can hear
the weariness in Amanda's voice, and it makes me cringe. I need to remember
that my Hunters need to rest. Rest, eat, train. It's a simple thing to
remember. Why I'm having such a hard time with it, who the hell
knows?
"Sam
and I will meet you and take over. You guys come back to the motel and
sleep."
"We can
stick it out until she . . . "
"No,
Amanda. Eric and Emily are sleeping. You guys need to as well. Tell me how far
out you are and we'll take over the tail as you pass by."
"Is
that an order?" Amanda asks haughtily.
"Yes,
Ms. Crabby Pants, it is. If you're giving me this attitude, you will only get
worse the longer you're awake. I don't need that crap." I make sure I put
enough teasing in my voice where she knows I'm kidding with her. At least I
hope she does.
"Fine,
Selene. We're about twenty minutes out, coming in on the main
road."
I chuckle at
my 'handle'. "We'll be out there, hidden. I'll signal you when we see you.
They may head in our direction since this is the only place to sleep around here.
If that's the case, Sam and I will keep watch. If not, we will continue on with
them and contact you after you've gotten some sleep."
"Can we
be sure you and Sam won't be . . . "
"Yes!"
I laugh. "We can control ourselves, you
know."
"Sure
you can. And Jenna doesn't pop her damn gum."
"Whatever," I laugh. "I have much more
self-discipline than blondie. It's really too bad Buffy was taken. Jenna fills
that to a tee."
I hear
Amanda telling Jenna what I said. "She's giving you a hand gesture. I'll
leave it to your imagination what gesture it is. Now get going or you're not going
to make it."
"Yes
ma'am."
