I was stunned when Taylor first grabbed my wrist and started hauling me away, but I was so shaken by his sudden appearance I had been too shocked to move away. I had just come out of the storage area next to the kitchen, where I had hidden the things I needed for the potion I was planning to make the next day. The ingredients had to be mixed at the last moment and drunk while they were still fresh for them to work properly. I had only just stepped back out to the hallway when he popped up like a dirty secret. I felt like he must have been able to see right through me as to what I really was and what I'd been doing and he was going to haul me in front of Nic and the others to denounce me. They would annihilate me without a second thought right there in the garden. He crowded me up against a wall and I leaned back against it, feeling too fragile and hollowed out to move. I could barely breathe.

That’s when Nic showed up and before I knew it, I was being spirited away to Ravenwood, which I learned was Thibeau’s old home. Rafe had lived there until recently and he’d just sold it to the vampires. Only in New Orleans.

We all piled into one car, or at least Beau, Rafe, Sophie, me and Marchand did. The vampires left by their own steam, and I didn’t want to ask how they’d be traveling back to Ravenwood.

Perfect for my situation, actually. I did know what it would bring, but right now, tonight, I would do anything to forget all that and keep dreaming that Taylor and I had some kind of future. And if I died tomorrow at Nic and Beau’s wedding, which I fully expected to do, at least I’d have this one night. Because at the end of the night, I knew I was going to let Taylor take me home with him if that was what he wanted. I was desperate to be in his arms one last time.

Before I came here to New Orleans, I had practiced the spell Giselle taught me to say at the wedding over and over again. It was a wicked, cruel spell and arcane enough that I figured nobody would know what the words even meant for a moment or two, and by the time they did, and managed to retaliate with a spell of their own, it would already be too late.

Gabriel’s relatives could be a problem, though, along with Marchand’s uncle, the handsome Azazel, who had such a strange aura around him. I suspected,
