'What's going to happen?'
Fear started to creep into her thoughts and I felt it in her emotions. It began to choke her, but I couldn't think about that. 'He's going to take me. I don't know what he'll do to Gavin or Gregory, but I hope he'll let you go.'
'Davy,' she whimpered. 'I'm getting scared.'
'You have to get to Roane. Tell him what happened and that Lucan used magic against us. Tell him that Kates knew about it.'
Vampires came into the room behind Lucan. They swarmed everywhere, searching for something. A moment later, they returned with Wren and Tracey held captive. Both female vampires struggled against their captors, but it didn't make a difference. When they set foot in the kitchen, they were frozen like the rest of us.
Lucan clipped out, "Is that everyone?"
A vampire snapped to attention before him. "He's not here."
He let out a deep breath. "I don't know if I'm disappointed or relieved." Then he swung his dark gaze towards me. "Where'd your lover go?"
I narrowed my eyes at him and dared him to enter my mind. Whatever magic held my body immobile didn't affect my thoughts. As we stared each other down, I felt the Immortal rally in anger inside of me. She was angry and she wanted to hurt him. Rage filled me and I tasted revenge in my mouth. I didn't know what I could do, but I knew I could do something if he entered my mind.
Lucan came to a decision and jerked his head around. "Fine. They go with us then."
One of the vampires reached for Brown and lifted her in the air. She squealed and he asked, "The human?"
Lucan looked at Kates in question. She spoke in a bored voice, "Leave her. She's nothing."
The vampire dropped Brown and everyone swept out of the estate. All of us were placed in different vehicles. I was put in the backseat with Kates across from me and Lucan beside me. One other vampire sat beside Kates and we started off.
My best friend refused to meet my gaze. I swallowed hard and realized that she'd known the whole time. Had this been her intention since she came back? I had been handed to her lover on a silver platter. Did she choose to wait until Roane was gone? Or until we were all weakened from our battle against the Alpha?
When her eyes finally found mine, I saw sadness in them. I didn't care. I narrowed mine and opened a channel in her mind so she could hear my thoughts. 'You don't know what you've done, but you will. I will kill you myself.'
Kates didn't look surprised, but she thought back, 'Not everything is how it seems, Davy.'
'You better hope not.'
It was days later before I realized where we'd been taken, and my heart sank.
