Portal
Cadence couldn’t help but smile at hearing that the famous Vampire Hunter was a woman. Realizing she was still angry, she quickly brushed the smile off of her face. “You never mentioned any of that before.”
“There’s a lot I haven’t mentioned before. But Cadence, you’ve got to realize, as much as I would love to have Elliott back, it’s not a risk I’m willing to take. And he wouldn’t be either. I had no idea he knew about the portal. I’m wondering if that’s even what that letter meant.”

Christian’s lab was actually in the same building as Jamie’s—right across the hallway—so Cadence had to be particularly careful that Aaron didn’t see her coming or going. He’d definitely think it was odd that she was carrying a backpack.She sent Christian a message on the IAC to let him know she was coming as she walked out of her apartment, so he was expecting her when she arrived just a few minutes later. Jamie’s office was the first one on the left, and before she even opened the glass door to enter, she could see that his office door was open. Luc
The Clandestine Saga History Lesson
Interlacing his fingers and placing them behind his head, Christian leaned way back in his chair, and for a second Cadence thought he might actually tip over. “Well, it was 1804. We were on a hunt in New Jersey. The war with the British was over, and we had won, but we still had fighting to do. The French had come to help, but they’d also brought in a slew of young Vampires.”“What is it with the French and Vampires?” Cadence muttered.

Cadence nodded, having wondered what it would be like to cross over. After a moment of reflection, she asked, “So what do you know about the opposite end of the portal?”“You mean the one Aaron says Dracula came through?”“Yes,” Cadence acknowledged. “And why did you phrase it like that?”

Christian’s apartment was on the fourth floor of the same building Cadence’s home was in, and even though she’d been on the team for quite some time now, she’d never been inside.He used his IAC to open the door, and she followed him in, thankful that they hadn’t run into anyone. Aaron definitely didn’t need to know she had been here.“I have a safe
The Clandestine Saga Making Up
The next morning, she awoke to find a handwritten note, a rose, and a blueberry muffin, her favorite, on the nightstand next to her. It wasn’t at all unusual for Aaron to leave hours before she even woke up, and while an IAC message would have gotten the job done just as effectively, she always preferred a note.Picking a chunk of muffin off the top and plunking it into her mouth, she swung her feet out of bed and stretched before picking up the note and reading it. It only said that he would be in his office working for a few hours and that he’d like to meet her for lunch if she w
The Clandestine Saga Good Advice
After checking in with Meagan and Shane, both of whom were very busy kicking butt, she made her way out of the building and across one of the expansive fields that bordered the facility. Though they were situated fairly close to Kansas City International Airport, very few humans had any idea what went on here. The large lot of land and group of buildings was gated off and it was impossible to see what was back here from the road outside.She loved walking through this field any time of year, even though the grass was dead this late into winter. Still, thoughts of spring and renewal invaded her
The Clandestine Saga What to Do
Cadence listened to every word Jamie said, taking all of it into consideration. She realized that Aaron was very much a rule follower; everything was black or white. Living in a world where the rules were shifting and bending had to be unsettling. “Answer me this,” Cadence said, turning around so that she was sideways now, facing him, one leg tucked under the other. “If the roles were reversed—if Aaron had died and Elliott had lived, do you think that Elliott would use the portal?”Jamie didn’t hesitate. “Absolutely.”

“Jamie’s wrong,” Aaron said, sitting across the table from her in their kitchenette.“I knew you were going to say that,” Cadence said, the ham and cheese sandwich in front of her suddenly looking unappetizing.“Look, Cadence, there’s not anyone whose opinion is going to change my mind. This is a bad idea, and it’s not happening,” he said
