Tia spent the morning helping Carina plan logistics for Duncan & Luna’s Ascension Ceremony. She was up to her eyeballs in seating charts and RSVPs when Luca mind-linked her. It was time to pick up Gabriella. He was waiting for her in the car. He looked in a bad mood.
“What is wrong?”
“Bran nearly had my head when I told him you were coming, and I am not thrilled about it, either. Why are we taking unnecessary risks?”
“What risk? I am with a Zeta.”
“I may be a Zeta, but everyone knows that. You don’t think they will take that into account if they were to attack?”
“We are driving a poor girl back to her home. Who is even going to be aware of our plans?”
He growled in frustration, “Anyone who is watching you and has it out for you!”
As they pulled up to Madelyn’s house, Gabriella was waiting outside. She opened the door and hopped in the backseat.
“Good morning!”
“Good morning, Gabriella; this is Zeta Luca.”
Gabriella’s face paled a little as she looked at him.
