Chapter 12

Alistair

The late afternoon meeting wasn’t in the usual Charming Tower in New York. Instead, Alistair met with Beau, Killian, and Drac, who couldn’t stop yawning. He’d awakened from his daytime slumber not too long ago.

The silence blared, and the outside security system’s camera panned the grounds. “What do you see, Killian?”

Killian stood broad-legged, arms crossed. “These fuckers are playing with us, sir. Trying to draw us out. If they can’t attack us here, there is only one place left for them to go.”

“A place that isn’t like an iron fortress,” Rose chimed in.

“Beau’s club.”

That was where most of the pack would hang out to let go of some steam, but also a great place to pick off one wolf at a time.

“It shouldn’t be that dangerous. Grab the girls, and we’ll take them with us. Leslie needs to keep up her training, and Claudine needs to stay grounded with one foot in this world.”

“Sir.” Rose was all business, and he liked that she’d drawn this boundary. One of which they both needed to be reminded. “Don’t you think there will be collateral damage and a huge risk? If the enemy is expecting us to show up, and we come with them, then we could put the entire mission at risk.”

“Rose, if we take them into the Wolf’s Den, it looks like we expect nothing, and know even less.”

“So, you both want to use the women as shields?”

“No,” Alistair answered. “They’re diversions. Does this not sit right with you, Beau?”

Beau tapped his fingers on the glass table, and then ran his fingers through his thick black hair, loosening his tie. “The city is giving me pushback on cleaning up the mess from Leslie’s apartment.”

“What does that mean for the Order?”

“We’re remaining hidden in plain sight, like always, and the unit has reported back that those present at the party were looped, wiped clean, and those who saw anything on the street have also been rounded up and corrected.”

Alistair nodded. He’d been so tied up in getting things done and Order business, including taming the ruffled feathers of Zola, and finding a solution for her broken Great Staff.

“How are our guests adjusting?” he asked. Of course, Freyja, his grandmother, wasn’t too happy about his not returning to Scotland right away. Maybe there was the thought that as long as Leslie had her home to return to, that she might never allow Scotland, the land of Loch Ness, to be their home. He also knew that he wouldn’t be able to stay away from the castle indefinitely. Peter, now in charge, was dealing with the vampire threat as well as anyone could. But if he didn’t return soon, that threat might become even more exacerbated. He’d give it another three days, then back to Scotland he’d go, with or without Leslie and her family.

“They’re taking baby steps,” Killian said. “I’m hoping that including them in this ecosystem will make it easier for them to adjust. Gran has adjusted with telling stories of her past, and Claudine is on the fence.
