CHAPTER 22

An hour later, Ivy’s head was stuffed with so much information she feared accidentally brushing her locket and imprinting any of it there. Especially the bits she didn’t quite understand, like the details about electronic security systems and guard rotations. The only thing she had fully understood was that they were going to sneak in as guests of a museum’s opening reception for an exhibition of northern Canadian art.

And while Nero had come up with a logical argument as to why she needed to accompany Grey to get the coin piece, she was certain it was a terrible idea. She couldn’t fight and wouldn’t be able to help him if he got into trouble. She was barely a second set of eyes because she didn’t have a clue about half the things she should probably be looking for. In less than four hours, she’d experienced more than she had in her entire life. She was sure of that. There wasn’t even a hint of anything like this in the locket and without a doubt, something like this would have been imprinted there.

She also wasn’t sure why any of his friends weren’t going with him instead. Although if he was Regis’s enemy, anyone seen with him was in danger—

Which meant she could use that knowledge of who these drakes were as leverage to get her freedom. She could threaten them with revealing to the prince that they were helping Grey. A doyen like Nero and a drake as ancient as Anaea surely had standing in Court that they wouldn’t want to lose.

Except a part of her wasn’t sure giving these people up was worth her freedom. She could do it then forget about it, but she couldn’t help but wonder if something that cruel would permanently stain her soul.

“So we have a plan,” Nero said.

“You mean Ivy and I do.” Grey stood. After everyone had decided they needed a plan, he’d returned to the wooden chair and more pieces of shrapnel, covered in thick blood, had oozed out of his back as they’d talked.

“You have a couple more hours before you need to head out,” Anaea said. “You should get cleaned up and grab a nap.”

“The room across from yours is empty.” Ryan stood and headed to the door. “I’ll tell Raven Ivy is taking it for the night… early evening?”

Diablo snorted. “She’s going to love that, having to do extra sheets because of a few hours.”

“Actually, I think you’re on laundry duty this week,” Ryan said.

“Like hell I am,” Diablo growled.

Ryan bared his teeth and flipped Diablo his middle finger.

“It’s too dangerous.” Nero typed something on his laptop. “Ivy’s been here for too long already. If Bolo gets too close, he’ll be able to track you here. You’ll need to recoup someplace else.”

“I’ll book you a couple of rooms in a hotel in Vancouver. Hun—” Anaea glanced at Ivy. “H has a few aliases Court doesn’t know about.”

“Book an executive suite at the Sutton Court Hotel. It’s close to the museum, but outside of the range of the gatelock enspelled into the dragon statue.
