the whole castle with lust.”
    Lothar’s demeanor changed. “Is she all right?” he asked with concern.
    Kat laughed again. “Oh, I am sure Bain took good care of her.”
    Lothar nodded. No doubt, Bain had taken care of her.
    “I am glad I ran into you though. I left some papers on your desk that Cree gave me.”
    “Vampire related?” he asked.
    “No, I think they are drifter related. Something about a possible portal location. He didn’t seem too impressed with the intel, but he asked me to put it on your desk so you could check it out before you went back to Evan’s.”
    “Will do. Thanks, Kat.”
    “No problem, have fun tonight.” She waved as she disappeared into the parking garage.
    He watched Kat speed by in her little Porsche through the glass wall of the lobby. Lothar found the intel report Kat had left for him and settled in to see what information was there.
    Two hours later, he sat down and waited on the edge of a huge cliff. The Red Rock Canyon ravines were beautiful, all heavily eroded, displaying bands of grey, white, and red sandstone. The wide, empty plains beneath the hills were spotted with Joshua trees, among other indigenous plant life, those, and the setting sun, were the elements that made the entire canyon view completely breathtaking.
    Lothar couldn’t sense magic to the extent that Uriah could or even Cree, but portal magic was distinct. They charged the air with the scent of home, the feel of the Middle World. Lothar could stay in the Human World for centuries, and his body would still remember what his home felt like. The ground seemed to shimmer below the cliff. Three men stepped through the portal, followed by a family of blindfolded Fae. Lothar opened his wings to descend on the group, but before he could leap from the cliff’s edge, the group disappeared in a vampire flash. Lothar hit the ground. The magic of the Portal had disappeared with its travelers.
    Lothar pulled out his phone and hit the speed dial.
    “What’s going on?”
    Lothar smiled as he spoke, “Your intel was good, Cree”
    “What’d you see?” Cree asked, surprise obvious in his tone.
    “Three vampires and a family of four.”
    Cree whistled. “Did you recognize the vampires?”
    “Afraid not. Seems interesting that the portal is here in Vegas though, where Evan’s coven just happens to reside.”
    “That it does, brother. Get over to Evan’s compound and see if our mystery vampires show up there.”
    “I am on it,” Lothar told him before ending the call and taking to the sky.
    The vampire compound was quiet when Lothar arrived. He saw the little, silver roadster speeding down the street as he landed in the palm tree, but aside from the little vampire he knew was behind the wheel, there was no other real movement. The pattern followed for the next couple of days. Lothar and Lucas kept their schedule of surveillance, while Cree set up surveillance in Red Rock Canyon where the portal had opened. Lothar always prided himself on patience. Hell, he had two younger brothers, that alone had trained him to find calm as often as possible, but sitting and waiting was hard on any warrior.

    Holly saw the silhouette in the sky, a sign of a warrior scanning the world below him. Her vampire sight told her it could only be Lothar. Time may have passed, but the memory of the men she grew up around never faded. She could pick the warriors out of a thousand other Fae. Her eyes told her that the massive wings that glided closer to the ground were a deep mahogany that nearly looked black and blended with the night sky.

    Esperanza stared at her youngest daughter’s childhood bedroom. She’d been living in this small home for months now , and she still hadn’t bothered to change this house into something other than memories of the life Tyr had forced on her. She didn’t intend to stay here long enough for it to matter what the house looked like. She’d always hated this place.
