Chapter 14

Darren

Sitting in the back of the limo instead of driving it was awkward. I much preferred the privacy the separator provided by sitting in the front seat. However, the council sent a limo for me and by what Antoine says I couldn’t say no.

They wouldn’t even let me bring anyone else with me. Which to me seemed suspicious but Antoine once again reassured me that I would be safe. Tuma was a vampire of his word and he would not think to relieve him of his only other human servant.

As if that was such a tragedy.

Things with Antoine had been tense since my outburst. I could not seem to let myself be happy or feel even an iota of pleasure with Piper so far away from us. I didn’t know if it was because of the pregnancy or...actually I knew it was.

Piper was a strong and capable woman. She had proven herself many times over. Even so much so to take on the hunter’s guild on her own. When comparing her to any of the vampires, I would bet on her every time.

It’s just the thought of my offspring inside of her and not being able to be there for her. For her to be in the hands of the enemy, while all we could do was sit around and wait made my inside twist and snarl together.

There was nothing I could do to ease this sickening feeling inside of me.

My hands tensed around the box in my hand as the vials clinked together. I didn’t have much confidence that I would be allowed to bring the item inside with me. Once more I was relying on Antoine’s experience and he thought that Tuma wouldn’t care about the blood. I didn’t think so.

Why would the vampire allow me to bring the blood of the other vampires into their home? They barely wanted me to come visit Piper. To give her more access to her vampires would not be prudent on their part.

The limo pulled into a gravel driveway, causing the wheels to crackle with each inch we progressed toward the prison. To call the place they were keeping Piper anything other than that was being naïve. They were keeping her prisoner and that was all there was to it. Anyone who thought differently was fooling themselves.

We stopped briefly at the gate before after an exchange of words from the driver we moved into the interior of the gates. I tried to look uninterested as we drove by but my eyes took in everything in the dim twilight.

Visiting Piper wasn’t the only reason for my coming. I’d been instructed in length from Marcus, Drake, and Allister on what to look for and how to remember it without writing it down. Six guards in the front, six members of the house of Durand. I didn’t need to take note of the building’s exterior, Rayne assured us that he could see that from some satellite system. The outside they could handle. I needed to let them know what they were up against.
