I was going to like Delilah a lot, which was a relief.
In the short hour we’d spent together, she’d been so cheerful and helpful that I couldn’t help but feel like all of this was going to be okay.
“Of course, it will,” Delilah said with a look of surprise when I said that out loud. She tilted her head to look. at me with wide eyes.
Her irises were fully black with a red ring around them, which I’d found startling at first, but she’d explained that it wasn’t something every vampire had.
It was a sign of her empathic abilities, which went beyond being able to compel someone, a skill most vampires could easily wield.
“You are feeling so much better; I can sense it,” she added. “I didn’t want to say anything about it before, since it’s rude to talk about someone’s feelings unless they mention them first.”
“I have so. Much. To. Learn.” I emphasized each word and laughed a little. “I didn’t think it would be so tiring, either! I communicate with my wolf all the time, and when I draw on my Luna gifts, it leaves me energized. Not drained.”
Delilah smiled. “It’s a journey, Lanie. Because you are a hybrid, you are not going to have the same reactions as a pureblood vampire. But because your bloodline comes from an Ancient…well, to be honest, I can feel a lot coming off of you. Though I’m not entirely sure what awaits you. We’ll have to learn together.”
“I look forward to it.” From somewhere far off, I heard what sounded like a bell or a gong.
Delilah turned toward it. “Oh, that’s the announcement bell. It’s time for us to get ready for the big dinner tonight. Did you have any more questions before we go?”
She held up a hand before I could answer.

“Never mind,” she said. “I know you have many questions. Anything I can help you with in less than a
minute?”
“Nope.” I shook my head, and we both laughed.
“Can you find your way back to your quarters?”
“I hope so. I need to start learning how, anyway. I can’t expect a tour guide every time I need to go from
one place to the next.”
“If you get lost, I’m sure someone will be around to help.”
We hugged and parted ways.

I impressed myself with how well I was able to navigate my way back to the quarters. By the time I got

“Everything okay?” I asked, concerned, as Stella ran to me right away. I smoothed a hand over her hair.
“Hello, my precious. Did you have fun today?”
“The boys aren’t back yet, Gabriela said.
I frowned and bent to hug Alaina and Isaac, who’d taken a bit longer to toddle to me. I kissed
and then straightened. “They’ve been gone this whole time?”
“Can you link with them? See where they are?” Her voice had an edge to it that made me feel a litt
anxious.
I sent out a query through the mate link and got nothing at first. Then Xander’s voice drifted to me, very soft. I had to concentrate really hard to hear it.
“Shielding…interferes…” he thought.
I looked at her. I think he’s trying to tell me that the security shields here are blocking the mind links.”
She frowned. “I don’t like that.”
“Are wolves the only supernaturals that have mind links?” I hefted Alaina onto my hip and nodded as she
