He’d snatched a couple of folding chairs off the truck that was parked outside the house and simply marched into the garden without being stopped by anybody. In the tent, he placed the chairs around a table while his eyes took in his surroundings.

Various different workers were busy erecting a podium with a canopy on which undoubtedly the ceremony would take place, while others carried in tables and chairs and set them on the wooden boards that had been placed over the grass in order to form an even floor.

From what he could see, none of the workers were vampires. And if one of the humans realized that he didn’t belong there, he could use mind control on him and make sure there would be no trouble.

Looking over his shoulder, he made sure nobody was taking any notice of him, and stalked to the door that led into the back of the house. He entered quickly, finding nobody in the large eat-in kitchen. He pushed the door to the hallway open and spied a human standing watch in front of a door. A tall young man who couldn’t be older than twenty-five. He could overpower the human within seconds if he had to.

He’d nudged the door open a little wider when the doorbell chimed.

The human sighed and walked to the entrance door, turning his back to him. It was all the time he needed to exit the kitchen and advance silently into the corridor. Quickly, he dove into another room, which he identified as a laundry room by its smell even before he opened the door, and closed the door but for a sliver, so he could spy into the hallway from his hiding place. He was only a few steps away from the stairs that led to the upper floor. That’s where he wanted to go to find Ursula’s room and wait for her there. Eventually she would go there. All he had to do was wait.

“Hey Samson, Amaury!” the human greeted the two vampires who now entered the foyer.

He felt like growling but suppressed the urge. The boss of Scanguards and one of his high-level partners showing up here was inconvenient. He didn’t need any more vampires on the premises than there already were. It was hard enough to avoid the ones already in the house. He had to be careful not to get too close to any of them or they might be able to smell him and realize he didn’t belong here, even if he was hidden somewhere. He hoped that the fact that he was hiding in a laundry room that smelled of bleach and laundry soap helped disguise his scent.

“Hey, Blake!” Samson replied.

“What are you guys doing here? I thought you were babysitting Isabelle.”

“I left her with Zane.”

“Well, in that case, wanna help out?”

Amaury laughed. “Not likely. We’re just here to pick up Nina and Delilah.”

Blake motioned his head to the door he’d been watching earlier. “They’re still in there for the fitting.
