13.

“What celebration was Whitfield talking about?” I asked a little while into our journey.

Ethan ran a hand through his hair, and I realised how exhausted he looked. “We’re close to persuading Governor Pamphrock to step down and pass leadership of the entire city over to Jeremy. We suspect it will only be a few more days before he gives in. Jeremy is planning a soirée at his home to celebrate the victory.”

I was so caught up in the mention of it being held at Jeremy’s house that I almost missed the reason for the party. Finn never mentioned that Pamphrock was planning on giving in to the vampires’ demands. Suspicion sat in the pit of my stomach. How exactly did Whitfield plan on securing this victory? Of course, I had to agree to go to the party. It was the perfect opportunity for me to get inside the mansion.

“Sounds like it’s going to be great fun,” I replied sarcastically, unable to help myself. Visions of vampires mingling and drinking wine glasses full of blood filled my head.

“I already planned on inviting you, but that was before you decided to disobey me last night,” Ethan’s voice hardened.

My hackles rose. “Disobey?”

He moved swiftly, pulling me close to him as he leaned over me. His eyes trailed up and down my damp clothing before he breathed, “We really should get you out of that wet dress.”

Instinctively, I glanced up and saw Lucas smiling widely in the centre mirror. “If you two want to get naked back there, don’t mind me. I promise not to peek.”

Ethan ignored his teasing, his eyes not leaving mine as he spoke. “Bring us to the house, Lucas, and when you return to the club inform Delilah that she will need to close up for the night. I’ll be otherwise engaged.”

“Might be a bit of a problem there, boss,” Lucas said. “Your sister went home a few hours ago. I think she might be losing the plot.”

Ethan seemed agitated as he leaned forward in his seat, eyes on Lucas. “What did you say to set her off? She’s been under a lot of stress lately.”

Lucas feigned innocence. “Me?” he asked, placing one hand dramatically to his heart. “I was nothing but pleasant to her.”

Ethan just kept staring at him, stony-faced.

“Fine, fine,” Lucas gave in. “I might have asked if it was her time of the month. She’s been going around with a face like a smacked arse for weeks. I’m tired of looking at it. Anyway, after I said it, she kneed me in the balls and stormed out of the club.”

I sputtered a laugh. Good on Delilah.

“You know she’s not coping well with the restrictions I’ve placed on her,” Ethan said. “She’ll get her freedom back as soon as Whitfield takes control of the city. Until then, go easy on her.”

“I’ll try.”

“This also means you’ll have to perform Delilah’s duties at the club tonight,” Ethan went on.

“Not a problem.”

I started to get nervous thinking about what Ethan had planned for us at his house, but I could hardly get them to drop me off at Finn’s place.
