I leaned forward. “How are you feeling?”

She spoke to the ground. “Better. Thanks to you.”

“You shouldn’t have been shot where there was a risk of you drowning. I extend the apologies of the steward who did so. He panicked in reaction to your presence.”

Truth.

The woman nodded. “It happens.”

I held out my hand. “I’m Andie.”

She raised her chin for the first time and shook my hand. “Vivien.”

Jemma approached with a calmer Axel. “Thank you, Andie. He’s never left pack lands. I’m so sorry to put you in this position.”

I peered at the tribe onlookers. “He was a hit, don’t worry about it. If he vomits in the car though, it’s because he devoured six muffins.”

The Luthers turned disbelieving eyes to the stewards.

“Is everything okay with the pack women?” I asked.

Bailey gripped my shoulder. “We’re doing fine. Do what you need to do.”

My answering smile was grim. “I plan to.”

The women left with the pup, and I turned to face at least fifty very curious stewards.

There went my study time.

A fancy car rolled into view. I waved, both nervous and excited.

“That’s a Rolls-Royce Phantom,” Wade breathed.

The shiny black car?

I’d take his word for it.

Friday night and stewards were kicking back around the manor and grounds. No one was drinking, but I was happy to note morale was more positive than prior to our Iron win.

I had another grid to secure in four days, but tonight, I was determined to relax and have some fun.

With a vampire.

The car rolled to a stop, and I glimpsed the older man driving.

Wade fidgeted. “Whoa, let’s not get on that guy’s bad side.”

Really? The man didn’t look so bad to me.

The chauffeur opened the car door, and a long, golden leg appeared, followed by the rest of Basilia Le Spyre. Nude heels adorned her feet. The royal blue dress hugged her curves like a glove. She was around my height and completely, supernaturally gorgeous.

I inhaled Wade’s anticipation. “Easy boy.”

“I’ve never met a celebrity before.”

Basilia raised her chin, topaz eyes glittering.Yep,she heard him.
