Chapter Sixteen

Ethan pushed the phone into his pocket, a frown pulling his brows together. He smoothed it away. Show nothing. That was the mantra of the Conclave. Give nothing away.

But where the hell is Fergus?

“What’s the matter?” Sadie asked.

As if she didn’t know. “I can’t reach Fergus. He’s not answering his phone.”

“You want to leave? Go find him.”

“Hell, no.” The only thing he could do was go in there and act as if nothing was wrong. Hell, hopefully nothing was wrong. But he didn’t like it.

She touched his arm. “I’ll see if anyone knows anything.”

“Thank you.”

“I actually like Fergus.”

He snorted but linked his arm with hers. “One thing occurred to me. What if Travis recognizes you?” he asked.

“I’d thought about it, but I think the risk is low. All the Tribe look similar, but with the exception of the twins, the similarities are superficial—height, hair coloring, eyes. I have at least two of those things covered.”

“Okay, but let me know if he even looks at you funny.”

“I will.”

As they approached the big double doors into the ballroom, they opened as if by magic, and together they stepped inside. And she stopped. He cast her a sideways look. She was staring around her, eyes narrowed. Clearly, she’d seen something she didn’t like, and he wished he could see into her mind. Know what she was thinking. Then she gave her head a little shake, and her mouth curved into a somewhat forced smile. “Let’s party.”

They strolled through the room. She had a faraway look in her eyes, but other than that, there was no sign of what she was doing. Practice, he supposed. She halted, gestured discreetly in the direction of a blond woman in a scarlet dress.

“Honestly, Ethan,” she murmured. “That one has to die.”

“Lauren?” Well, that was no surprise. She’d always been a contender and more so since the day he’d seen her at his father’s office.

“Sorry, but she had nothing to do with your mother,” Sadie said. Exploding that little theory. That would have been the best of some very bad options. Killing Lauren would be doing the world a favor. She was one of the more…radical members of the Conclave.

“Radical? I’m not sure that’s the right word,” Sadie muttered. “A few years ago, she tried to destroy London, some sort of biological attack, which would have wiped out the whole population. What sort of fucking nutcase job does that?”

“Descartes,” he murmured. “I’d heard a rumor.” Though he hadn’t realized it had gone so far. Something must have gone wrong, though, to presumably put the plan on hold. “There’s a faction within the Conclave who believe we should come out from behind the screen of secrecy. That we should take over the world in reality, for all to see.”

“But why destroy London?”

“To show we can, I suppose. One definitive example of our powers. After that, it would be easy to take control.”

She turned to face him. “And how do you feel about that, Ethan?”

He cast her a look. “You know how I feel.
