Flamebound (2013)
“I demand the second my sister Willow opens the door to my parents’ house. “Where’s Dad?’ “In his and Mom’s bedroom.” She steps aside to let Declan and me in. I try to ignore how worried she looks, how drained, but I can’t. She’s always been the wild one, the one full of life and laughter. But right now, she just looks sad. That scares me more than my mother’s phone call did, more than the thoughts that chased themselves around my head on the long drive here. “He’s sleeping, so everyone but Rach...ael and Mom is in the kitchen. Come on back with me. I’ll make you some coffee.”
I ignore her invitation as I head for the stairs. I’m not going to wake him up, but I need to see my father with my own eyes, need to prove to myself that he’s okay. Or, if not okay, at least alive. Yes, I think as I take the steps two at a time—Declan right at my heels—for now alive will do very nicely.
But when I get to the wing that is my parents’ private quarters in the royal residence, there are four guards blocking the way—two I recognize as part of my father’s regular security detail, but the others I’ve never seen before.MoreLess
