Meeting

Other than brief glimpses, I didn't see Deirdre for the first three hours we were there. Carissa worked the party herself, giving each group time. I saw her with Violet and James, introducing them to a couple dressed as a pair of ghosts. I danced with Lara and Angel but refused any other dances.

I wondered, and not for the first time, if Daniel Bancroft was here somewhere. But I hadn't seen him nor any of his wolves, and I was damned if I was going to ask.

Lara and Elisabeth spoke briefly with a number of other werewolves. Some of them clearly wanted nothing more than to get a closer look at me. I was also introduced to some other people, races unknown, and I didn't ask.

So far, the trip had, by and large, sucked. Oh, there had been occasional good moments, but neither Lara nor I were responding well to the stress. I kept my anger to myself, but the only question in my mind was when and how far would I boil over. I vowed not to do it in front of strangers.

My mood was about to change.

It was Kristian who found us, shortly before midnight. He approached carefully, and again I found myself surrounded by enforcers. I didn't protest, but it was very difficult to enjoy a party when all I could see was a wall of backs.

"Madison Alpha," Kristian said. "I did not properly introduce myself. I am Kristian."

"I know who you are," Lara replied, the tightness in her back belying her casual tone.

"Carissa wishes to discuss something with your mate," Kristian said. "If you will come this way."

"Of course," Lara said. She gestured, and Serena released me so I could go to her. I let Lara put an arm around me, but I wasn't happy about it, and I was sure she could tell.

But I was excited at the same time. I didn't think Carissa would have kept me waiting if she didn't have any news. And if she were going to tell me the fox she had known of was a myth -- or dead -- I didn't think she'd pick this party to do it. And so, I was excited to hear what she had to tell me, and I put my dispute with the wolves aside.

For now.

"Are you all right?" Lara asked me quietly. When I glanced over at her, she was looking at me with concern.

"I'm fine," I said somewhat tightly.

"You're quivering," she said. She frowned. "You're excited. You're excited to see Carissa! God damn it; the thrall isn't broken after all. I just knew it!"

She came to a stop and was ready to haul be bodily from the party, but I said, "Lara, stop it! That's not it. She has an answer to a question I asked her. That's all. Stop it!"

She turned me to face her. "What question?"

"I already told you. Am I the last fox? She has news, probably good news." I pulled away from her and turned to follow Kristian.
