Chapter 590
The memory of the Canadian ball was seared in Katelina's mind. When she closed her eyes she could see it again; live it again. No matter how many times Katelina went through the memories, looking for a way to fix things, she couldn't find one. She couldn't change what had happened, any more than she could change the chaos of the next day.
Lilith had taken one of her new recruits' planes. No one could find it. Canadian Executioners, the vampires' version of police, arrived and locked down the scene. Dead were examined and carted out to be burned in a pyre of choking black smoke. Damage was measured and cataloged. Staff and guests alike were trapped until the Executioners dismissed them.
While interviews were conducted with party guests, Annabelle called Katelina to her secret rooms; the rooms where Estrilda had been concealed for so long. Through the hidden panel in the wall and up the stairs, Katelina's heart sunk the closer she got. She could feel Annabelle's pain and misery.
