Chapter 34: Myreen

Myreen’s fingertips roamed Ty’s ribs like spider legs, digging in every now and then to throw him into a fit of helpless giggles. His laughter rang like windchimes. It was fast becoming her favorite sound in the world, and she had no intention of relenting any time soon.

Agnus, who had just entered Ty’s room and now stood in the doorway, cleared her throat loudly. Myreen was sure that if she looked up, she’d see a disapproving frown wrinkling the woman’s shrew face. God forbid Ty should have any fun.

“Myreen, your father wants to see you in the Conference Room,” Agnus said when Myreen didn’t acknowledge her presence.

Myreen’s fingers stopped their siege on Ty’s abdomen, her eyes staring blankly at his black tufts of hair that had been disheveled by his rolling on the floor.

Draven never called for her. When he wanted to talk with her, he always came to her in person. This couldn’t be good. Something was up. Did he know about her and Kenzie’s plans?

“Best not keep him waiting,” Agnus said, snapping Myreen out of her pause. “And Ty, you have a chess game in ten minutes.”

Myreen stood and pulled Ty to his feet. “I’ll see you at dinner,” she told him, hoping it was true. Then, before she left the room, she called back, “Have fun playing chess.” She made a funny face as she said the last word.

Ty smirked and waved goodbye, and she left the room, her blood a crescendo in her ears as she headed for the main floor with her guards in tow. A million paranoid what ifs flitted through her mind as she traipsed down the stairs, her guards following close behind. For all her former arrogance over being Draven’s daughter, she suddenly wasn’t so sure that she mattered any more to him than a fly on the wall. If he knew she betrayed him, or that she was planning to, she wouldn’t be safe from his wrath.

But she couldn’t let herself get too worked up. This meeting could be about something completely innocent, and if she came to him with a racing pulse, he’d get suspicious—if he wasn’t already. No, she had to be calm. She had to behave as if there was no reason for suspicion.

She took a deep, soothing breath as she approached the Conference Room so that by the time she reached the door, her heart rate had returned to normal.

She opened the door and entered. Draven sat in the same seat as yesterday when she’d come to beseech him on Kol’s behalf, and when he saw her, he smiled and opened his hand toward her former seat. She came forward and lowered herself into the chair, all the while analyzing his blank expression as he looked at her.

“I noticed you weren’t at Kenzie’s Initiation ceremony yesterday,” he said, leaning forward and steepling his hands in front of him. “You missed my transformation into a daywalker. And here I thought we were growing close.”

Of course he’d notice that she wasn’t there.
