Chapter 15

Lily

Master Cedric didn’t return until I was dressed and ready to go. He glanced over my white dress, stockings, and flat shoes. The curl of his lip didn’t seem to be a favorable reaction, not with the way he grunted afterward.

But he didn’t comment.

All he did was nod his head in a follow me gesture before leading me through the immaculate palace. I was momentarily awestruck by the opulence around me. It reminded me of his quarters, only the glittering gems shifted colors along the white-and-cream textured walls.

He took me through a courtyard with a fountain surrounded by palm trees. My fingers itched with the desire to touch one of the spiny leaves, but he was moving too fast for me to pause.

This place was nothing like the university grounds.

Spindles of gold were etched into the arches of the various entryways outside, with glimmers of it glinting off the moonlight on the tops of the cone-shaped towers in the corners of the compound. So much grandeur and beauty.

This is his life.

The life of a high-ranking vampire.

An old vampire.

One with ties to royal blood.

I swallowed, my gaze sliding to the back of his head. He moved with the grace of a predator, silent and sleek and lethal. But there was an edge to his steps that hadn’t been there before. His spine was rigid, his hands loose at his sides. Almost as though he were ready to engage in battle.

My heart skipped a beat as I wondered if I was the intended target.

But he merely led me into another section of the palace, down a large grand hall that stretched three stories high, and out the massive front doors.

A car sat idling at the bottom of the stone steps with a human standing beside it, head bowed.

Master Cedric took something from the male’s hands. “You’re dismissed.”

The human didn’t reply, instead choosing to walk steadily away from the parked car. But he didn’t head up the main stairs. He started off down a sidewalk that seemed to lead to another building.

“In,” Master Cedric demanded, returning my attention to where he stood with the car door open.

I slid into the bucket seat without a word, doing my best to obey his every command. His mood suggested that doing otherwise would end badly.

He leaned in over me, dragging a buckle across my lap and clicking it into place.

The door slammed in the next second, his body moving too fast for me to comprehend.

And he was in the seat beside me a blink later.

My heart hammered against my ribs, his vampiric speed leaving me winded as though I’d been the one who’d moved that quickly.

He started the car in the next instant, his foot hitting the pedal and shooting us forward.

I swallowed my scream, my training kicking in and forcing me to take hold of my emotions. But I couldn’t stop my thundering pulse or my harsh intake of breath.

“Relax,” Master Cedric muttered. “I’m not going to hurt you, Prospect.”

Prospect. Not Lily.

“But if you breathe a word of anything we’ve shared to anyone else, you will die.
