The next morning

Lucian strode into the kitchen the next morning looking refreshed. Angeline had barely slept. No matter how hard she tried sleep was unattainable. Dan and Shane were also disturbed by the strange hybrids – even moreso after she relayed Dorian’s warning.

“Morning, fairy girl.” Lucian smiled and helped himself to a mug of coffee. Lounging against the counter he sized her up. “Did you sleep at all?”

“Not so much.” Angeline forced a half smirk and went back to her own mug. The front doorbell rang through the house.

“Angeline!” Rosalee’s voice carried through the intercom. “Could you get that, please? I am changing the laundry over.”

The bell sounded again, ringing through her head like a warning. Lucian gestured toward the clock on the wall. “The Scots are unusually early, eh?”

“Kell and Pollux are already here; they arrived last evening shortly after you retired. I let them in.” Angeline frowned. “We aren’t expecting anybody.” She pushed off the stool with a groan. The doorbell rang at least three more times before she made it to the door. Angeline flipped the deadbolt and opened the door. She backpedaled some and bowed her head. “My liege, my apologies but Ryder is not feeling well.”

Roane stared down at her, a frown creasing the subtle lines of his face. “I wish to speak with him now.”

“He is not well, perhaps later this afternoon would be better.” Angeline refused to open the door any further. She heard Lucian walk up behind her as the Scots bounded down the stairs. Drawing courage from their close proximity, Angeline stood her ground. “I will tell him you came and wish to see him as soon as possible.”

Roane placed a hand on the door. “No, you will tell him now or I will force my way into his room and make him treat with me.”

“Come now, we have no need for such hostilities, Roane.” Lucian walked up behind her, dropped a hand to the small of her back and peered into the morning light. “Angeline, go ahead and wake Ryder. We will entertain Roane in the study in the interim.”

Angeline nodded and slipped away from Lucian. “Tell him he has ten minutes.” Roane’s eerie voice followed her.

She swept past the Scots and up the stairs to Ryder’s room. Angeline knocked lightly on the door. No response. She knocked again a bit louder and heard a groan. “My liege, Roane is without requesting to see you. I said you are not well and he refuses to accept that. If you do not present to him in ten minutes he intends to enter your suite. Lucian is trying to pacify him now but he is adamant about speaking with you.”

A brief silence followed by another groan and Ryder’s response. “I will be there in five minutes. Thank you, Angeline. Perhaps you and Rosalee should go shopping for a while.”

Not likely. Shopping with Rosalee? Angeline made her way back to the kitchen, withdrew her cell phone and texted Jess Blanchard, the best supernatural real estate agent, in town to confirm Kell and Pollux’s appointment.
