I pulled out my phone and tried to distract myself with one of the mobile games that Larissa had downloaded onto my phone ages ago.

“Hey, Bay!” Grace came back after what felt like five minutes. “Good news. Amara can see if she can do anything about your pain tomorrow. But she told me that something might be blocking your magic, maybe even the pain itself. Perhaps that will solve the whole problem.”

She smiled at me as if she had just found a solution to all my problems.

I didn't know whether to be happy that I might soon no longer be in pain, or whether I wanted to sink into the ground on the spot because I might be one of them after all.

Grace sat me down again and handed me a headache pill.

I looked at her in surprise.

“I don't know how much this will help you, but you should try it.”

I nodded and pulled the small bottle of water out of my bag that I had smuggled in here. Unnoticed, thankfully, because it saved my life.

“Thank you, Grace,” I said sincerely, and she stroked my shoulder.

“No problem.”

I swallowed the pill and hoped it did some good. Maybe some of their ingredients were part of my specialty pills, and fewer headaches automatically meant less chance of having a seizure.

“Oh no, what aretheydoing here?” I looked up and followed Grace's gaze to the entrance, where three very familiar figures had just made their way in.

The DeLoughreys.

“Are they some of them?” I asked Grace, who looked back at me. “Julian said they were vampires.”

Grace looked at me worriedly.

“First, you should use the correct species names. Secondly,yes, they areRuisangors. Please stay away from them! And thirdly, speaking of which, finally stay away fromJulian.”

I gave her an annoyed look.

“Julian is my neighbor. He's really okay.”

“He's a Senseque. There's nothingokayabout that.”

Grace apparently had her prejudices, as did Emely, but I couldn't join in with that nonsense.

“Hello pretties, would you like a drink?”

Grace and I looked up at an attractive man in his mid-thirties with a black shirt and dark brown hair.

My eyes widened as I realized who it was, and I scooted closer to Grace.

A devilish smirk played around his lips.

“And so, we meet again.”

The songStereo Lovereminded me that I hadn't been to a good club in a long time. Of course, the guys and I had been all over Vancouver and occasionally Seattle, but I had to admit that Blairville'sDark Lion Clubwasn't bad, even if the place was owned by those shitty mutts.

The dry truth was that we weren't here to party, even if we had reserved a VIP seating area. Bastien had sent us to keep an eye out for members of the Tenebris Order.

We had met them for the first time at the weekend. In the middle of our territory, but not deep in the forest,no. They had been hunting. Tristan had been with them. And the prey had been none other than Larissa and one of her friends.
