I rolled my eyes. “Yes.”
“Renzo sent me to bring Miles O’Bannion back to Chicago.”
My body went rigid again, and I fisted my hands together at my sides while he stood there, like nothing was happening. “You killed Miles?”
“Not on purpose.”
“Start from the beginning. Why did he send you for Miles? How does he even know Miles?” Just earlier we discovered that Renzo knew Miles’s grandmother, so it was possible that he knew Miles and I wanted to hear him explain it.
“Miles is his grandson.”
“What? How is that possible?”
The vampire smirked.
“I know how babies are made asshole, but vampires can’t have children.”
He smiled again. “They can with their true love.”
“How?” I asked again, furrowing my brows and re-crossing my arms over my chest.
“The same way.”
“But how do they know it’s their true love to even get them pregnant?”
“For Renzo, he didn’t know until Gael ended up pregnant.”
“He told you all of this?”
“No. I heard him and Samuel talking about it after he saw the newspaper article.”
“What newspaper article?”
“The one with Gael’s picture.”
“Still not ringing a bell.”
“The one O’Bannion Burn put in the paper after they won the whiskey award last year. Renzo saw the picture, and he knows that Gael had his baby. He wanted to talk to Miles.”
“Talk about what?”
“Well, to see if he was a hybrid.”
“A hybrid?”
“Half vampire, half human.”
“Miles went in the sun,” I stated.
He shrugged. “If he’s part human, I’d think he could go in the sun even if he were a vampire.”
“Why not go after his baby? She’s alive.”
“He was working on it but wanted me to get Miles and bring him back since he was in the States. It was easier than traveling overseas. Plus, she’s old.”
“But you killed Miles instead,” I clipped.
“It was an accident.”
