Chapter 74 – Ember POV
Willow is good at her job.
She's fast. Efficient. Innovative. She doesn't need me to give her constant orders or remind her twice. It's a relief. A necessary one, considering how much of a mess the rest of this city seems to be turning into lately.
More rogue attacks.
They're escalating. Getting bolder. Sloppier, too, which makes me wonder if it's a distraction… or desperation.
Either way, it's annoying me.
Especially now. Especially with Kellan gone.
He's off to meet with the Regent of vampires on this continent. Basically, their version of an Alpha Prime. Ancient. Political. Dead-eyed.
I was against it from the start. Extremely against it.
Sending my mate into a city full of vampires—vampires with long memories and short patience? It sounds like a setup for betrayal.
But unfortunately… my mate is not just my mate.
He's also the father of wolves.
