Bab 479: Chapter 479: Pannera

"You need to be wary." Sebastian's voice was soft, low, but came through clear enough. "As much as I have trusted my Queen in the past, I'm not as certain of her intentions anymore."

Sad. I reached out and linked my arm through his, the two blonde vampires swaying in their ball gowns ahead of us. "I'm sorry," I said, really meaning it.

Family. Who else could hurt him so much?

His hand settled over mine, pressing my fingers into his arm. "This entire situation could get out of control very quickly," he went on. "Neither of our clans is meant to be in such close proximity for such an extended period."

A bomb waiting to go off, in other words. Well, at least if they were fighting each other, they might forget about me.

"Batsheva is up to her old tricks," I said. "Not like she'd shift tactics now anyway, since her mind's gone bye-bye. She's lying to her vampires."

Sebastian shrugged. "There's nothing we can do to stop her," he said. "She is Queen."

Well, wasn't she special?
