Dinner that night is a somber affair. The long rows of tables are filled with bowed heads and the sound of forks tapping idly against the sides of plates hardly touched. No one feels like eating.

Even Williams’s earlier carefree demeanor has shifted. His lips are pressed tightly together and pale, his face slightly ashen in appearance.

All around her sit immortals and hunters alike, each still fully armed. There is a haze of unease in the castle tonight. Roseline doubts anyone will sleep well, if at all.

The thought of who might be targeted next hangs heavily on everyone’s mind. She has old and new friends in the field, spread to the far reaches of the globe. The day after Costel Petran signed as one of the founders of the newfound truce, he shipped off to England to head up a group that chose to hole up in what remained of Torrent. The former pub hasn’t recovered since she turned it upside down by her torture and mutilation of Malachi. No one dares go into that room even to this day.

Some of the hunters wounded during the battle at Bran Castle have remained behind. Some to heal as humans, others continue to learn how to control their newfound abilities after being turned. None were forced to make this decision. Roseline saw to that.

Katia sits beside Gabriel, her own head bent low and her hands clasped in her lap. Roseline knows how hard this transition into the world has been for her. Most of her life was spent alone or with Seneh in the frozen forests of Russia. At first she hid out in her room because of Gabriel’s death, trying to find a way to come to terms with losing a brother she had only briefly known. After his return for the dead, Roseline quickly realized her withdrawal stemmed far deeper.

It was the noise that bothered her at first. The constant drivel of conversation and the clashing of steel in the courtyard not far from her room. As the weeks passed, she began to emerge from her room for short spells. Now, half a year later, she has fully adjusted to life in the castle, but her reclusive personality has not changed much.

A wallflower is what Gabriel kindly calls her. Roseline has seen several of the men casting curious glances in her direction as she passes in the halls, noticed the warm flush along her cheekbones as she ducks her head and moves swiftly on.

Katia is not a wallflower. She’s just shy around men. Having Gabriel home seems to have perked her up a bit, at least until Nicolae’s rousing speech this afternoon that left everyone with a boulder of bile firmly seated in their guts.

“This sucks.” Sadie growls, shoving her plate aside, right into her water glass. It tumbles over, soaking the center of the table. The white cloth darkens as the stain spreads, but no one makes a move to help. “Why are we just waiting around here like something is going to happen? The fight is out there.
