A sea of bodies flooded the streets of Quarter Square. Most were holding up their cell phones, making the harsh sunlight glint off the screens. For all the hustle and bustle, the crowd was at least converging toward the same destination: the park we’d visited before Aiden and Victoria’s wedding.

Julian held my hand, and I twitched at his touch. Though the essence of his hold on me was familiar, he was still under Grace’s spell. The way his hand fit into mine was... different. And, as weird as it sounded, it felt wrong to hold a hand that wasn’t his.

Still, this wasn’t the time to overthink something as trivial as handholding. There were bigger things at play.

Growing impatient with wanting to know what all the fuss was about, Xander plowed ahead of us, forcing his way through the crowd. Grace followed close behind him, and Julian and I picked up our pace while Ben and Charlotte strode alongside us. I pressed my fingertips to my head, trying to drown out all the noise—the crunching of the grass, the hundreds of hushed whispers, the obnoxious shouting, the whooshing of the wind... my hybrid senses felt like they were going haywire.

“You alright?” Julian asked under his breath as we blended into the crowd. The flash of familiar, protective concern in his temporarily blazing blue eyes put me at ease. Drown it out, Danielle. I let out a breath and nodded, half assuring myself.

Ahead, Grace came to an abrupt stop. And despite the onslaught of sensory overload, I could make out what she said, which was basically a string of expletives. I picked up my pace, jogging until I caught up with her.

Once I shared her same line of sight, I understood.

Reed Carlisle was standing atop the fountain, raising his hands to quiet down the crowd. I scanned the area for Grace’s brother. I hadn’t met him, but he was her twin. I figured it’d be easy enough to pick him out. But I didn’t see anyone that resembled her. It was just Reed and a handful of his followers. Still, I could feel my heart beating in my throat.

Considering the size of the crowd, I was impressed with how quickly a hush fell over the park.

Admiring the numbers that had been drawn out to witness his speech, Reed squared his shoulders, puffing out his chest. “I know many of you want answers about what you’ve seen on the news in recent days.” The crowd roared in agreement, fists pumping in the air. “I’m here to tell you the truth. What the government won’t tell you.” A wicked grin slid across his face. “The castle that was discovered mere miles away from here is situated in Crescent Cape, a kingdom that has been ruled over by vampires for centuries. A kingdom which, until recently, was kept hidden from the world thanks to a spell cast by a rival coven of mine. That photograph you saw on the news? The man’s name is Julian Dumont.
