Leo and Kaniul were waiting for me, along with Lyiana, Damius and Nicolae. They gathered around the computer, and discussed various facilities where Lorelei could have been taken.

“Now that half the council is here,” I commented wryly.

“And the other half on via video call,” Nicolae held up his phone which showed a room filled with the rest of the council members. Adreon, Catherine, Drake, and Alexandrya were sitting stoically, gathered around their devices.

I set my laptop on the large desk and opened it to pull up the locator device. “Erik made contact.” A couple of the council gasped, and I saw Kaniul close his eyes and curse.

“So, it is the worst then, she is at the main testing facility,” Damius spoke, his soft Greek accent rolling as he ran his fingers through his black hair.

“Yes,” I swallowed and continued, “Yet, that is not the worst of it. He informed me that Antionette has turned Lorelei into a vampire.”

Every member of the council said a few choice curses in their various languages. I had to focus on containing myself, or quite literally, my demon would come out.

“How is that possible? Shouldn’t her Nephilim blood prevent a change from taking hold?” Adreon, who was the scholar of the group, pondered out loud.

“The only mixed blood Nephilim are those that were born,” Catherine remarked.

I rolled my eyes as Catherine stated the obvious. Children that were born of a Vampire and Nephilim relationship were referred to as Hybrids. Those born of a Demon and Nephilim mating were called Seraphim. Both were extremely powerful in their own ways. Each possessing abilities of both their parents, and they were some of the rarest beings on the planet.

“Enough!” I slammed my fist on the desk. I was done with the academic discussion. “It doesn’t matter what she is, we need to get her out of The Syndicate’s hands. The longer they have her, the more time they have to torture her.”

Leo frowned and looked from Kaniul to me. “Were either of you able to pick up on anything about her situation that will help us with a rescue attempt?” Leo was ever the strategist. The former Greek general looked at every situation as a battlefield which benefited us in times like this.

Kaniul spoke before I could. “She was able to get one projection out before it was cut off. It seems they have something to dampen her psychic abilities. I don’t believe we will be able to make contact via the mental connections. Vincent?” He turned to me and arched a brow in question. “Your connection to her is stronger than mine, what did you pick up from her?”

Even though Kaniul was related to her, Lorelei and I share a connection that ran deeper than blood. We both knew the reason for this, but it was not something that either of us were willing to share freely with the entire council just yet.

“They have some sort of collar that burns her if she uses her telepathic abilities. In the few seconds I was merged with her, it felt like she was being burned alive.
