Chapter Twenty-One

That night everyone moved in silence as we got ready to go to Merek’s estate. The six of us met outside, pretending to be prepared for whatever came our way. Celia was still locked in Camden’s dungeon. If I never laid eyes on Celia again, it would be too soon.

We all started loading up into the Hummer. The charming vamp, two werewolves named Garren and Evan, and Lil climbed into the backseat. I sat in the passenger seat, just as Camden was jumping into the driver’s seat. He started the Hummer, and we began the drive to Merek’s estate.

To kill off some nervous energy, I turned around, facing the backseat to ask Stephan a couple of questions I had been dying to know. “Stephan, how is it that you’re able to walk around in the daylight? Is it just a myth that vampires will burn in the sunlight?”

Stephan kept looking out the window instead of making eye contact. “No, it’s a rarity. I am the Prince of the Vampires, and that in itself allows me to be a daytime walker.”

There was a heck of a lot more to that story, but I knew that no matter how many drunken karaoke parties we had together, that’s all I was going to get out of him. Hello, steel trap. I veered away from any conversation having to do with his past and asked, “So, if it’s an uncommon thing, we probably don’t have to worry about too many rogue vampires strolling around Merek’s property?”

Camden answered me. “Right. That’s exactly why we are going to meet with Merek and his clan during the day.” Then he addressed the group. “I have told Merek that I wanted a meeting, but I failed to mention over what. He probably assumes it’s about his daughter or the wedding. Lil, I want you to hide somewhere on Sadie.”

Lil flew over to the console between the driver and passenger’s seats. She crossed her little arms over her chest. “First, you insist that I come along because I might need to fairy dust some people, but then you tell me I need to hide my beautiful self. You better be glad I like you.”

Camden did his best to stroke her ego. “Think of it like this… you’re our secret weapon.”

“What’s the plan?” I asked. “And what is our reason we didn’t take Celia?”

“You should pretend that you’re the weddin’ planner,” Lil said. “When he asks about his crazy daughter, tell him that she’s off with her life coach. I mean, seriously, has anyone else noticed how messed up in the head that girl is? I can understand being biased when it comes to your own children, but the fact that he thinks CG would fall head over heels for a basket case is a little funny, no?”

Stephan and Camden laughed. Finally, they were bonding. I didn’t point out the bromance because I didn’t want to ruin the moment. “So basically, we have no plan; we’re just going because Ariana told us to.
