CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

The Opening Ceremony was held in downtown Manhattan among the hustle and bustle of the city. People lined the sidewalks, walking to and fro despite the late hour, uncaring of the line of black cars waiting to offload their occupants. It seemed Muni and the Vikings had arrived at perfectly the right time as everyone else, so they patiently waited their turn as they sat quietly in the interior of the car.

The moment they reached the front of the line, the door opened and Eirik climbed out first, followed by Brin. Brin turned to offer a hand for Muni who took it without hesitation, allowing him to help her from the car. Vidar was the last to exit, his eyes scanning the crowd of people around the green carpet spread along the sidewalk. Some of those people were humans who simply found themselves in the crowd, their eyes wide as they watched people too pretty step from cars they didn’t recognize from any television. The majority of those in the crowd were other supernatural creatures, those who couldn’t afford tickets to the opening ceremony or who just wanted a glimpse of the elite without mingling with them. It was a wise decision. All of their kind were predators, but some were more prey than others. That they might become a meal for someone else wasn’t lost on them. Those were the clever ones.

Cameras began to flash like crazy at their arrival, blinding them. Muni immediately looked just down of the flashes, making sure her vision wasn’t harmed. “Keep your eyes below the line of cameras to avoid having spots in your vision for hours,” she instructed the others. They immediately followed her instructions.

Eirik and Brin flanked Muni on either side, both of their arms offered to her to take. Vidar took up their rear, his need to protect from there strong. She could feel his hot gaze on her backside, could feel the glances he tried not to take. She couldn’t blame him. Her ass did look fantastic in this dress.

The moment they stepped inside the hall, her eyes began searching the crowd despite all the eyes on them. She knew they were being talked about, simply for being the first team of four, but Muni also knew it was because of who she was. Many thought her dead never to return. The fact she’d announced herself in the race with none the wiser that she’d been reincarnated before then unnerved many of them. She knew their secrets, still knew them all and learned new ones, and so she was a threat.

Finding the necromancer racer, the one who’d been the passenger so long ago, she forced herself not to focus on him entirely. He stood talking to a fae female, his stance that of a cocky male who thought he stood a chance with the woman. Instead, the female seemed uncomfortable in Muni’s eyes, as if waiting for the proper moment to distance herself without insult. She dismissed him, but he was marked for death.
