I was exhausted that night. Angus must have been shattered too, because he climbed into my bed, curled an arm around me, and fell fast asleep within seconds. I remember wondering fleetingly what the next day would bring just before sleep claimed me.
Anne
She knew that night that Jack wasn't coming back. Somehow she could feel him, even when he wasn't with her. Tonight there was nothing.
She looked at the ragtag collection of vampires assembled in front of their matriarch, their queen. She had the power now. And there were going to be a few changes around here.
She looked with disdain at the blood feeders in front of her. Jack had decreed that only the males would feed on blood. And look at them, she thought, her stomach curling in disgust. Yes, there were definitely going to be changes. She was queen now, and she would avenge Jack's death as he would have expected her to do.
And then she was going to go out and get herself a new king.
