hadn’t realized she wasn’t fully human until last night. Another knock sounded at the door, this time a little louder.

“Damn, they must really have their panties in a wad,” he grumbled. “Lexi, we’ll continue this conversation, and that’s a promise.

I’ll finish this up as fast as I can.”

A moment later, still barefoot, he dashed out the door, leaving her alone in his bed.

Gareth swore as he hurried down the stairs. He had a pretty good idea what the Council was so upset about, and he wasn’t looking forward to having to explain why New Orleans was suddenly such a hotbed of Outcast activity.

He ran into Parker outside his office and gave him a few quick instructions before entering and closing the door behind him. As he’d expected, the Council’s faces looked out at him from his computer monitor, all showing varying degrees of impatience.

Diego, the Head of the Council, drummed his fingers on his desk. Maelisa and Quaid Naomhan spoke softly in their corner of the monitor. Talus’s face was impassive as usual. The status bar at the bottom of the screen showed that three other Councilors had joined the meeting by phone, though their images didn’t appear.

At least it wasn’t a full meeting. Gareth had never been involved in a meeting of all twelve Councilors that didn’t mean huge trouble. Of course, eight was certainly enough.

He walked to his desk to sit down, but his chair was already occupied.

Eli glanced up at him, one eyebrow raised. “My, my, Gareth. You are in trouble, aren’t you?”

Twelve hundred years of practice helped Gareth to keep his face blank. “Hello, Eli. I believe you’re in my chair. If you don’t mind?” Eli moved aside, but not before Gareth saw him smile. “I thought you’d given up your Council seat,” Gareth said as he sat. “Are you just here for the show?”

“Actually, he’s joining us at my invitation,” Diego replied from the screen.

“Like you’ve ever needed an invitation,” Gareth murmured to Eli, who now stood just behind his shoulder.

“Like I waited for one,” Eli whispered back. “It was actually extended after I showed up.”

Gareth stifled a laugh as Diego began to speak again.

“Would you like to brief us about the situation there, Gareth? There’ve been three murders by Outcasts now, and it’s made the national news.”

Ouch. Vampire murders on the national news… This was worse than he’d thought.

“I’m working on the situation closely with the Chief of Police,” he said, well aware that it wasn’t a very good answer. “The Outcasts are after a dhampyr. The problem is, she’s my Chosen. Since they can’t get to her, they’re murdering women who resemble her, and until last night, the murders were occurring closer to her home all the time.” He paused and sighed. “She’s here with me now, and I hope she’s going to stay until this is sorted out. I should tell you that I’ve recalled all the Arachnids from around the country. I’m afraid this is turning into a war.”

Talus frowned from the monitor.
