Chapter Six

“Riley! What a surprise!”

I smiled timidly as I sat down at the round table with Draven and Lady Serenity. Adrian sat in the seat to my right. I looked over at him with a shy grin and then looked back at Draven who implored for an explanation with his eyes.

“I figured it was time for a visit,” I said with a shrug. A number of days had passed since my secret meeting with Adrian under the moon light, and we had spent the last few days engaging in deep conversation, getting to know each other on a deeper level.

“It took a little convincing, but here we are,” Adrian announced.

Draven raised his eyebrows.

“I'm curious as to what you might have said to convince our lovely budding vampire to attend. Her last visit wasn't as...well, it wasn't very pleasant,” Draven explained.

I flushed slightly and looked down at the wooden table, picking at a chipped piece.

“I just figured I need to become accustomed to the rituals here,” I replied.

“You missed your feeding,” Draven pointed out. “We'll have to get you hooked up immediately after dinner.”

“Of course,” I said.

“I would love to come along if that would be alright,” Adrian said.

I looked over at him and nodded.

“I would like that,” I whispered.

Silence fell over the table. I watched Draven and Lady Serenity exchange a curious glance as Adrian took a goblet from one of the servants. He raised the cup to his superiors.

“To Riley,” he announced. “May her transition be of ease.”

They each raised their goblets and took a long sip, setting them down shortly after. I took a deep breath and kept my eyes from wandering around the grand dining hall. It was a lavish cafeteria decorated with a multitude of antique lamps, portraits, and a few modern tables. The one we sat at was particularly round and set off in the corner away from the rest of the group. It seemed purposeful that Adrian chose it, not to mention that his maker and my beloved mentor were occupying said table.

“You know, I once had a pupil who also had an aversion to blood,” Draven commented.

I raised a curious brow.

“He was a small fellow, about your frame size, and he simply couldn't bring himself to bite. The little man was quite talented with luring humans into the nest for feasting, but he would have to leave the room while the blood was being drained,” he explained.

“I think I recall that young man. Wasn't he from the states?” asked Lady Serenity.

“He was a Scot, actually. Quite a strapping young thing. He made such a wonderful fang,” he replied.

“Was that Alban?” she asked.

“Yes, that was Alban. He keeps in tough regularly,” he replied.

“He left?” I interrupted.

“Yes, he left a number of years ago to create our sister coven just across the sea,” Draven replied.

“I didn't think anyone was allowed to leave,” I wondered out loud.

“On very special occasions, yes. Sirus appointed Alban to our sister coven in order to branch out our online business. It was to help us double our revenue to keep our coven alive and well.
