Gabriel narrowed his eyes. "What exactly is your way?"
"I can lead you to his mate," William said.
"What are you talking about?"
William smiled faintly. "I just need a lock of Damien's hair."
Gabriel blinked. "You need what?"
"A lock of his hair," William repeated.
Gabriel stared at him as if he'd asked for a unicorn liver. "We have just a few days before the coronation to pull everything together. I don't even know how I'm supposed to get close to the crowned prince now, much less pluck a piece of his scalp."
"You will find a way." Williams got to his feet, making for the door.
Gabriel narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing? Are you crazy? A human walking in the midst of vampires. You don't think you'll get noticed?"
Williams turned. "Relax, Lord Gabriel. I used a cloaking spell, only you can see me."
And just like that, he vanished into the hallway, the door clicking shut behind him with annoying finality.
