“Why here?” she asked, making her way through the jostling crowd.

“I like it here.” A simple answer, and one she couldn’t dispute.

Elizabeth’s book café was packed. The place used to be a house long ago. She had adapted each room with comfortable sofas and chairs, charming coffee tables—all of it vintage furniture.

Phillip followed her through the entrance into a narrow corridor. A heavy oak door lay at the end.

“I keep this spot for myself,” she confessed, turning back. Elizabeth pushed the door, and the mesmerizing sight of the inner courtyard greeted them.

A tall oak tree stood in the center, entwined with gleaming amber string lights around its many branches. A single table lay before them, illuminated by candles.

Phillip’s gaze wandered in the courtyard, absorbing every detail of its cozy environment. “Your customers are sure missing out on this…” he mused.

He moved towards the table. Pulling back the chair, he waited for her to sit. These charming gestures of his were enough to drive her head over heels for him.

Elizabeth sat and waited for him to do the same.

“So, how have you been?” he asked, following the compulsory social protocol.

“I... don’t know how to say this,” she said, avoiding his stare. Was it too late for a thunderstorm to fall or for some cataclysm that would end this conversation?

How can I tell him that I met an irresistible immortal, so attractive that she compelled me to seduce her and drink her blood, and that only then, I realized she was his fledgling?

“Ah,” he mused, raising his brow. “You’ve met Marianne.”

Phillip had read every thought in her mind. And she was fine with it because it spared her the awkwardness of putting that obscenely delicious encounter into words.

“She’s in danger,” Elizabeth said.

Phillip’s entire demeanor changed. And though he tried to conceal his distress, the tightened muscles of his jaw and neck betrayed him.

“What makes you say that?” he asked, trying hard not to lose control.

“There’s talk at The Devil’s Coven…” she said, gaining a quick scolding glare from him. “They plan to destroy your family.”

Phillip pursed his lips. “Those loathsome blood drinkers…” he muttered. “But this is nothing new, Elizabeth. They’ve always resented our family. They despise anything that shows the slightest grace amongst our brethren.”

“That’s not all,” she said. Elizabeth took a deep breath. “A few nights ago, Marianne ventured into The Devil’s Coven with your sibling, Antoine… It rubbed them the wrong way.” She paused. “Liam’s group tracked her down. They killed her mortal lover, Michael Reese.”

Phillip swallowed hard. Didn’t he know about Marianne’s affair?

“And why should that concern me?” he asked, folding his arms over his chest and leaning back in the chair.

“Because…” she said, “they have her.”

Phillip‘s wounded pride lost its shine. His lips parted, his eyes widened, and he suddenly lost his breath. He took a minute to gather enough strength and focus to speak.

“Tell me everything you know about this,” he said, leaning forward. “Who’s the devil behind this madness? Liam’s not so stupid as to undertake this on his own.
