Chapter 124

CAMILLA’S PO.V

Throughout the entire day, I felt the absence of my daughters and Christine. It was like a song hidden beneath the walls that called out to my soul. I could feel their absence as clearly as I could feel the walls next to me or the soft wood from my table underneath my fingertips and although I tried, I couldn’t brush off the ashy taste in my mouth that came with feeling so alone. There was no way for us to know when they had arrived, we would just have to wait and hope that everything worked out just the way we had planned.

As soon as they left, Ryker and I threw ourselves into work. Their absence was a necessary evil and now we needed to focus and bring an end to this. We needed to find a way to get the vampires out of the equation and draw Alastair out long enough for us to incapacitate him. We had all the equipment that we needed, we just needed a foolproof plan. One that was bound to work and I knew exactly where I was going to get it. I just needed Ryker to agree to it first.

That was how I found myself at his door sometime around noon and I knocked slowly. I never knocked so when I pushed open the door, there was concern on his face. I moved with deliberate slowness, maybe it was to draw out the inevitable conversation or maybe it was to give myself some sort of morale- I wasn’t sure. Ryker was on edge as he watched me, like a coiled viper ready to strike at any moment.

“I know that face,” he began and I raised my brows in shock. “It usually means that you want to ask for something that you know I will refuse. Tell me, Camilla, what is it this time?”

“I know a way we can get Alastair to come out,” I said slowly and I watched as h9is expression went from amused to intrigued in less than a second. “It is a rough plan and it needs some work but I believe that this is the only one that we have.”

“I’m listening.”

“Use me,” he opened his mouth to refuse immediately but I held out a hand to stop hm. “He wants me for some reason. At first, it was for revenge but I don’t think that’s what it is anymore. This is more than that. He could have killed me that night he attacked the town but he didn’t. There is something that he wants and if we can make him think that he will get it then we might be able to corner him.”

“How do you plan to execute this?”

“He’s always watching, right? I can give him a show. He will be in the forest at night, or his men will be.”

he reached out to me but I made no move to sway from my spot. I understood his frustration and worry- I truly did- but I was trying and right now, there was nothing else that could be used to draw Alastair out. The fact that he didn’t want to accept it did not negate its truth. We were stuck and that was the
