Chapter 15

Keegan pushed her way through the crowd. She’d caught a glimpse of Tristen walking off with some chick stuck to his side. It was probably nothing, but after Calvron’s attitude towards the guy, Keegan didn’t trust him. Not to mention the phone call where he hung up on Lauren. His actions so far hadn’t shown him in a positive light. She just wanted to confirm that his conversation with this girl was innocent, just to put her mind at ease.

After a quick glance around, she realized she could get away with going invisible in the darkness. The familiar tingling spread through her body as she used her gift. It didn’t get to use it often, so she felt excited to be a fly on the wall. Her mother would so not approve. She was totally invading Tristen’s privacy, but if it would save Lauren heartache, she was all for it.

Where did they go? Keegan closed her eyes and thought of Tristen. There he was in her mind’s eye. She could only use that gift if the person was in the same area. And he was—outside, in the back of the house near a pool, leaning in as he whispered to the girl. She was beautiful—tall, slim with straight black hair and large, luminous eyes.

Keegan’s heart rate accelerated. It took her a few moments to figure out how to get out to the patio, since she wasn’t familiar with Tristen’s place. She found the gate in a far corner and crept through, guiding it gently back into place before she moved swiftly through the black night.

The closer she drew to the sparkling diamond of a pool, a small oasis in a backyard landscaped to look like a jungle, the clearer their voices became. She still couldn’t make out what they were saying, so she moved in closer.

“She’s not ready yet,” Tristen said sharply.

“Well, you better get her ready,” the girl responded, her voice icy. “This thing is going down next week. We need her ability or it’s not going to work. I’m sure you don’t want to disappoint your father.”

“Don’t worry. We’ll be ready. I’ve seen her gift at work—she can make it happen. I just have to figure out a way to convince her. You know how self-righteous those light faeries are.”

Keegan inhaled sharply. He was talking about Lauren. He had to be. What plans did they have for her? Whatever it was, she wasn’t getting a good vibe from them.

“You really need to learn to control your women,” the dark haired beauty said with disgust.

“She’ll do it! Stop pestering me. I want you out of my house. Now,” Tristen growled.

“Gladly. Your parties were always such a bore.”

Tristen grabbed the girl by the wrist and pulled her in close to his body. In a voice so low that Keegan had to strain to hear, he said, “If I see you again before next week, I will make sure that your pretty little face is no longer quite as appealing. I don’t care if you are sleeping with my father.
