Chapter Twelve

Serenity

Our meeting with the European Union is in Luxembourg City, and the flight is egregiously long. While my mother, Phillip, and Tomas sleep in the plane’s lone bedroom, Matthew and Adrian fall asleep together on the rear couch. I snap a quick photo on my phone before taking another sip of my iced coffee.

The official meeting of the EU doesn’t start for a few more days, but, in the past week of studying, I’ve learned about an entire secret meeting that I never knew of before.

“And this?” Henri asks, showing me a photo on his iPad of an older man with tan skin, a bald head, and sagging skin.

I collapse in my seat and groan. “Herman Neuman,” I say. “Head of German Paranormal Security.”

Rayne sits up and looks at the man’s face. “Serenity,” he says gravely. My heart skips a beat, wondering if he recognizes him. Instead, he says, “This guy’s name translates to Man Man New Man.”

I let out an absurdly loud guffaw, startling Matthew off the couch.

Liam shakes his head. “Actually, it better translates to Mister Man New Man.”

I giggle, leaning forward as laughter overtakes me. Okay, so maybe I haven’t slept more than a few hours a night for the past week, but it is a hilarious name now that the guys are pointing it out to me. “Do you think he’s manly?” I ask, causing Dylan to snicker while Henri rolls his eyes.

We’ve been on this plane for hours already, and I haven’t slept a wink of that time. Gwen is passed out on another sofa, her head in Finn’s lap and legs spread over Orin and Darius’s laps. We still have to stop in London to fuel up before taking off to our final destination, although we won’t be allowed off the plane. Overall, it will be nearly ten hours in this compressed tube with basically everyone I know.

Instead of wearing fancy clothes for the flight, I’m in the comfiest sweatpants I could find and a baggy t-shirt. Most of the others are dressed down, and it was really odd seeing my elegant mother in a pair of plaid pajama pants and a t-shirt. I would have expected her to wear one of those long silk robes, but she almost looked like a normal person in that outfit.

“When we land in Luxembourg City,” Henri explains, locking his iPad, “we will be transferred to a private hotel, similar to the one in New York. It is equipped with special protections just for the meeting of the EU council on paranormals, so we should be safe there.”

I stand up and move over to the armchair where Liam is reclining. It feels like I haven’t been spending enough time with my mates lately, although he’s been instrumental in helping me study for this event. I lean forward and press the button that reclines his leather chair. “And transport to and from the meeting?” I ask. When the chair is all the way back, I crawl on top
