The date of Benedict’s visit was quickly approaching, and our little group had yet determine how we were going to cross the border. I might have been part of the problem, as I still didn’t trust Ruth, with her connection to the rogues. I didn’t care if my brother was one, they were known for being disloyal and untrustworthy.

I figured it was only a matter of time before Ruth betrayed us. Well, at least all of us except for Sienna.

With how Ruth was scowling at lan right now, I figured he was the first one on her backstab list.

As night had fallen, we were safe to venture upstairs, so we were all sitting around the massive dining room table.

Ruth sat beside Sienna, who sat beside Ian. I was on the other side of the table, facing all of them.

The servants had prepared some finger foods for us, which were set on the table between us, but no one had taken a bite of anything yet.

“We are running out of time,” I said, trying to rally the group. Sometimes it felt like I was trying to herd a bunch of cats. “We need to agree on a course of action to get us across the border.”

I’d already explained to them that Damien and Amelia had been fighting in public, a good sign if we meant to hurt Amelia without Damien’s involvement. Amelia would likely be trying to push Damien away. We could use that to our advantage later, but first we still needed to get to her.

“Many of Jake’s pack has been invited to this event,” Ian said. “There will be many people crossing the border, which should allow us easier access, blending in with the crowd. You all could be my entourage.”

“Jake has his eyes on you, Ian,” Sienna said. “It won’t be so easy for you. He’ll watch you closely, and if we are with you…”

She was clearly trying to be gentle with him, but he still snapped, “Well, I don’t see any reason why I have to hide who I am.”

“You will bring attention to us,” Ruth said to Ian. “But the plan isn’t totally flawed. If we could find another high society member to help shepherd us across, you could disguise yourselves as servants.”

“No,” Ian said. “I will not lower myself to that.”

Ruth continued, “Servants are generally unseen, not given much attention. It would be safer to move that way. And with some of my potions and spells, I will be able to disguise your features well enough to keep you safe.”

“Then disguise me as a noble,” Ian said.

“The nobles are known,” I told him. “Too many people know all the nobles. An unknown would stand out like a shining beacon. Hardly anyone can keep account of every servant. Ruth’s right. It would be safer that way.”

We were all quiet a moment.

Ruth broke the silence, “We could always use my rogue connections to -”

“Absolutely not,” Ian said, with even more force than before. “When this is said and done, I very much plan to

return to my house. I will not dare squander my reputation by lowering myself to working with rogues.”
