Diana frowned as Peter made his opinion heard, it wasn’t the reception she’d hoped for but had kind of expected from him. She sighed and nodded as he expressed his thoughts. “Then our truce shall continue forthwith as it had done so in the past. However, I have given you all the information to hand that you require…I beg you heed the warning we come with. The Order has done no such provoking. The Wynters sent Lord Spencer over to get his foot into the territory and now he has access to my daughter’s blood. He took so much of it to empower the Wynters. I do not believe they will stop at just London and forcing The Order’s hands.” She sighed and shook her head. “I just pray they do leave you alone, for your family’s sake.” She glanced at Katherine and bowed to them both. “I bid you a good eve.” She left it in their hands, it was their decision to fight or flight. At least she could say she tried to help them gain the upper hand.

As Victoria rested her head back in the tub, she heard the doorbell chime. She wasn’t expecting anyone. She listened out with her keen hearing and kept as silent as she could. She heard a maid open the front door and then heard a familiar voice. “Vail..” She almost gasped with joy. She leaned up in the bathtub, her long brunette curls cascaded down over her breasts to cover her modestly sized bosom. 

The maid flustered at his pheromones. “I um…I will just check with My Lady. Wait here.” She gestured just inside the door and she ran up the stairs to Victoria’s room. She knocked on and Victoria replied. “Enter.” She expected the maid’s presence and before she could ask. “Send Lord Hygrace up would you, thank you.” She ordered the servant girl and she nodded, bowing before leaving the room. Victoria lay back down and awaited Vail’s arrival, she had no qualms about him seeing her bathe. He had seen her uncovered twice before.

The maid ran back down and permitted Vail to go upstairs. “My Lady is awaiting you in her chambers.” She pointed up the grand staircase. His keen nose would light his path right towards his human lover’s bedroom where she awaited his presence with a nice surprise waiting for him.
