Chapter Fifteen

Archer had meetings all the next day, so we caught the jet back to Austin later that evening. I knew my dad, Lucian, and Atticus Frost were waiting for my decision on whether or not I was going to join them, but I couldn’t bring myself to call them yet. I didn’t give a damn what the leader of the Dark Ones thought, but I was worried about disappointing my father.

There was no way I could join with them. No matter what they thought was in me, I was a Day Walker through and through. Plus, I was madly in love with Archer and couldn’t see my life without him in it. The Dark Ones would undoubtedly want me to move to the underground colony in New York and that was across the country from Austin and my mate. As much as I wanted to spend time with and get to know my father, he wasn’t as important to me as Archer was…as my new family was.

“Aces and eights,” I smiled widely as I laid my cards out in front of me. “Read ‘em and weep boys.”

Donovan, our flight attendant threw his cards down on the table and huffed. “That’s nine hands in a row you’ve won.”

“Are you hiding cards up your sleeve, little sister?” Jameson winked at me as he laid down his own full house of twos and fives.

I held up my bare wrists and cocked a sassy eyebrow at him. “And how would you suppose I’d manage that with short sleeves, my dear brother?”

“Card shark,” Archer grinned proudly as he laid down his pair of kings.

We were all sitting around the conference table at the back of the plane, passing time, when Archer’s cell began to ring. Pushing the speaker button and setting the phone on the table, he resumed gathering and shuffling the cards as he spoke.

“Yes?”

“Hey, boss man,” Quinn’s disembodied voice greeted. “How’s the flight?”

“Did you know that your new sister here is a card shark?” Archer asked, winking at me.

“Loch had his suspicions,” he chuckled. “She took six grand from him during last Tuesday’s game.”

“Ah,” Archer sighed, “she’s up seven here.”

“Take my advice, sir, and bow out when you can.” Quinn laughed.

“Advice I could have used an hour ago, son,” Archer chuckled as he doled out the next hand of cards. “What can I do for you, Quinn?”

“What time do you arrive, sir?” he asked, significantly lowering his voice as it became more serious. Jameson, Archer, and I took notice and we all glanced at each other.

“We land within the hour,” he answered Quinn. “Why? What’s going on?”

“Trouble is afoot at the Circle K, athair,” he said and I felt my eyes widen in disbelief at his pop culture reference. Who would have guessed he’d seen, and liked, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure? Quinn was hard and no nonsense and the quote left me dumbfounded.

“Explain,” Archer barked, abandoning the cards as he looked up at Jameson.

“We’ve got Dark Ones at the club and lots of them.
