Chapter 10

Jessie and I were arrested, handcuffed, and shoved into the back of an armored truck. Much to my surprise, Lord Vagnar climbed in after us. “What do you think you’re doing?” I hissed at him. This would probably be the last few moments my soulmate and I had together; I didn’t need it ruined by the presence of psychotic, fake royalty.

Jessie looked at me and gave a slight shake his head. His left eye, the missing one, was swollen shut.

“What’s the bright idea?” the captain of the guards asked.

“You mortals worry about the transportation,” Vagnar told him. “I’ll keep an eye on these two. It’s costing me a lot of money to make this happen and I want to enjoy every dollar’s worth.”

“Suit yourself,” the captain said, slamming the door shut. We could hear him locking it from the other side.

“Why… you…” I went to lunge for Vagnar, but Jessie caught me.

“Settle down,” he said in a low voice.

“Sorry about all the fuss,” Lord Vagnar said, dusting one of the seats with a lace handkerchief before perching upon it. At least it wasn’t the silver lined truck that had brought me to Jessie. “Once they discovered you were in the sewers, it was only a matter of time before they found you, simply by tracing the pipes.” He crossed his legs and then cupped his knee with folded hands. “Upon reflection, it would have been advisable to surface much earlier.”

“But you told them where we were,” I growled at him. “You pointed us out.”

“That’s true; I did,” Vagnar admitted. “I have no wish to deny it.”

My muscles coiled as I readied to fly at him again. I would claw both of his eyes out of his head, even if I was handcuffed.

“Aurora, stop,” Jessie said in a calm voice. “We owe Lord Vagnar a debt of gratitude for having us taken into official custody. Otherwise, we’d be back in the coffin.” Then he turned to the man. “Who is Armin, by the way? And why does he hate us so passionately?”

“Ah, yes, Armin” Vagnar raised his eyebrows and lowered his lids. “I believe you murdered his brother. All over some silly little mortal. At least that’s what I’ve heard.”

“Viktor?” Jessie asked. He received a nod as a reply.

Viktor Adami had become obsessed with draining me after Blossom and I had snuck into the Vanderlind Castle and found ourselves in the middle of a vampire celebration. The man just wouldn’t leave me alone, so eventually Jessie flung him at a broken piece of wood that I was holding and that was the end of him.

“How can it be Viktor? That can’t be true,” I blurted. “We’ve already been terrorized by some with a vendetta because of Viktor. And had to go through a trial. Where was this brother, then?”

Vagnar shrugged. “Perhaps he is only a half-brother. Or maybe he’s been marooned on an island for the last couple of decades.” This was a dig at Jessie. His grandfather had suffered through something similar in a failed plot by the family to rid themselves of his tyranny.
