Chapter 5

The next morning, just as the sun was rising in the sky, we set off for the capital city. We had all risen a couple of hours before to go over our plan.

Now, my heart thudded against my ribcage as the carriage made its way south towards the capital. This confrontation could change everything. We could succeed and be free to move on with our lives. Or we could fail and . . .

I didn’t let myself finish the thought. We had to succeed.

I looked at my mates. Xavier and Noel sat on opposite sides of me, holding each of my hands, while Gabriel and Adrian sat across from us. Bastien and Carina were in the carriage behind us. My mates looked as worried as I did, but when I met each of their gazes, they gave me reassuring smiles. You can do this, I told myself, taking a deep breath. You can do this.

I kept repeating the mantra to myself throughout the whole journey until our carriage reached the outskirts of the capital. This was as far as the carriages would go; the others would trail me to the Council headquarters from a distance.

Before I stepped out of the carriage, I gave each of my mates a long embrace, sealing my lips to each of theirs. I stepped down from it and turned to face them.

“I love you,” I whispered.

“We love you,” Noel echoed, his silver eyes filling with emotion. “You can do this. We’re right behind you.”

Taking another deep breath, I turned and made my way into the city. The chill of the early morning air prickled at my skin, and I pulled my cloak close around my body. The city was just waking up; vampires and fae were milling through the streets, shopkeepers were opening their stores, merchants setting up their stalls. To my relief, no one paid me much attention, though I was careful to avoid any eye contact in case any of Edelnar’s spies were on the streets.

When I finally reached the Council headquarters, I braced myself as I stepped inside. I half expected Edelnar to grab me as soon as I entered, but the entrance area was empty.

I made my way up the staircase. Moving quickly, I managed to avoid the cloaked vampire guards who stood at the far end of the hall when I reached the second floor; they were in deep discussion and didn’t seem to notice me. I hurried into the main room of the Council headquarters.

I had expected to only find a low-level worker there, given that I hadn’t made an appointment. Carina and Bastien had told me that the Council tended to meet later in the day. But I halted in my tracks, startled, when I saw that most of the Council members were already there, a group of vampires and fae, gathered around the long table that dominated the room, speaking quietly amongst themselves.

They all fell silent when I entered; it would have been comical if I weren’t so terrified.
