Chapter 13

The Resistance

I PACE AROUND THE TABLE Rylie sits at in the library. The room is unlike any of the libraries I’ve seen in back-world movies. Instead of shelves and shelves of dusty books, giant screens glow from the walls with digitalized books that you tap to send directly to your work device. I’ve never seen such a collection. Blood Life Corp outlawed the creation of books to control the education of the donor population. There were a few salvaged from the uprising in our community, but nothing like this. I can’t believe they even allow us access.

I stop in front of the wall and swipe my finger across a collection of educational textbooks.

“You can look at the covers, but you’ll be denied access to all of the Blood Life Corp Politics, Vampire Law, and Donor Division books.” The familiar masculine voice draws my attention from the digital library and to where Ivo stands a few feet away. He brushes his hand through his dark hair and peers around like he’s checking for one of the Kings. “I see you managed to lose the shadows.”

“Don’t know for how long,” I say, turning to where Rylie sits, staring at us.

She gawks in our direction in surprise and then hops to her feet. Rushing toward us, she thrusts her arms around Ivo. He chuckles and lifts her off her feet in a hug. I just stand awkwardly, staring at the two of them. Rylie clearly knows this guy, which confirms my earlier thought about his connection to Blood Rebels and the resistance.

“Ivo, I can’t believe you’re here,” Rylie says. “I thought—I thought you were dead. The elders said you were.”

He looks around the room again. “Because of the sensitive nature of my task to get a position among one of the leading covens.” Shifting, he glances to me. “And you being here jeopardized everything I’ve worked for, Ms. Flamme. When the elders sent word that you abandoned your duties... What were you thinking? You put yourself in danger without producing an heir.”

I reach out and slap my hand over his mouth, shutting him up. “Don’t you dare try to chide me. You have no idea.”

Rylie touches my shoulder. “Relax, Fiona. He’s only thinking about the future.”

“Not the future. My future. And my future is none of his damn business.” I glare at Ivo. “I don’t know what you expect to do, but I don’t want any part of it.”

“All I have been tasked with is to get you out of here, so someone can take you home.” Ivo reaches for my hand and grabs it before I have a chance to pull away. “Now might be the only chance we get. Come on.”

I stiffen, fighting against his pull. “You can help me out of here, but there is no way in hell I’m going home.”

Rylie takes my other hand. “Fiona, please. We’ll talk about this. He’s right about it being our only chance. Now that the Kings split your contract—”

“They what?” Ivo asks, his brows scrunching.
