As she returned to the group of alphas, I decided to check in with Piers and Gilbert next. Gilbert had done much of the coordinating, though I supposed I shouldn’t write off his twin entirely. After all, Piers was the one who’d been suspicious of the covens. Gilbert looked up as I arrived, then dipped his head in my direction. “Fenris,” he said, straightening up. “Is everyone ready?” I asked, glancing around at the small group of tents. “Indeed we are,” Piers said as he swanned over from who knew where. “Good. Time for you to escort the rest of the vampires to the temple in Peru,” I said. To my surprise, the younger of the twins seemed to brighten, even smiling at me. “Brilliant,” Piers said, dusting himself off. “I was starting to get antsy. A change of scenery will do me some good.”
