LUCIAN'S P.O.V.
The mind link buzzed to life as I contacted my enforcer, Tobias, stationed at the gates of the estate. "Let Adrian and Elizabeth through."
There was a pause, followed by a hesitant reply. "We know Juliette, Alpha. She's Gamma, but Adrian… He's a vampire, and the witch…" Tobias trailed off. I could practically hear the nervous gulp in his throat.
"Tobias," I growled, low and warning. "Do you honestly think they'd harm Teresa? After everything, they've done for us? They were here for the wedding yesterday or have you forgotten? Open the damn gates before I come down there myself and rearrange your priorities."
A long silence, then the link clicked off. I imagined him scrambling to comply. Good.
Moments later, Adrian walked calmly into view, flanked by Juliette and Elizabeth, who cradled Eldur—their scary demon baby. That child gave Teresa and me nightmares for weeks. I just hoped my Mai didn't turn out like that or else, I'll be doomed.
