The Council operates in the best interest of all vampires.

—The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Vampire

You’ve been crying,” David observed the moment I stepped inside the house. Philo sat on the stairs, looking trapped and sullen, while Manuela leaned against the doorjamb that led into the small kitchen. She had her arms wrapped around her middle and an anxious expression on her face.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. Because something had to be wrong with all these frowning faces. They couldn’t all be because I’d been crying. Unless David and Manuela planned to talk to Philo and me. About our, um, relationship. Gosh that would be awkward. And awful.

Omo.

Fearghus jostled me forward as he joined me in the hall and closed the door to the yard. “Well, I’ll just be gettin’ along,” he said.

“No, stay.” David’s voice was dark and dangerous and I was reminded, for only the second time since I met him months ago, that David Aristos was a vampire, perhaps one of the first, and he was very, very powerful. “The family has been called.”

“Now?” Fearghus looked like a trapped rabbit.

“Now,” David confirmed. “There’s something we need to discuss.”

He turned and strode down the hall and into the family room, but he didn’t sit. Instead he faced the windows, his hands clasped behind his back.

I cast a glance at Philo, hoping to discover what he might know about what was going on, but he wouldn’t meet my gaze. Manuela sat in a straight-backed chair that I figured we only kept in the family room for her. No one but her would choose to sit on something so uncomfortable. Except maybe Mrs. Hamburg.

I sat in one of the oversized chairs and curled into it, pulling tighter on the throw I already had around me. It wasn’t cold, but I felt cold inside. Fearghus sat on the love seat, which was really just a chair made Fearghus-sized, though sometimes Siobhan would join him there. I wondered if I ought to talk to her about Fearghus and the visions I was seeing. I didn’t want to talk about him behind his back, but he’d shut me down pretty thoroughly the one time I’d asked him about them.

Philo followed behind Jack who strode into the room with his customary unassuming swagger. “Howdy, everyone,” he said. “I see I made it back just in time for some serious powwow.”

I smiled at Jack. Even though he was often quiet, I enjoyed his company and friendly, shy smile. Jack sat on the couch, while Philo took the chair on the far side of the fireplace where afternoon shadows clung like cobwebs. I watched him from beneath my lashes and thought he looked like an ancient vampire ruling from his throne. Was that the true Philo? Because if it was, then maybe I didn’t have to feel so bad about not warning him about Hashiki. His eyes flicked to mine and for just a moment I thought I saw—no. He wasn’t a boy whose feelings could get hurt.
