Whenever things went to hell all at once, it helped to look for that upside. In this particular case, Lily was talking to him again. She still didn’t believe she was an abductura, but at least she was no longer treating him like a pariah. As silver linings went, it was pretty damn dingy. Especially given that the big black cloud threatening to rain on their parade just seemed to get bigger and bigger. For starters, Sebastian hadn’t hunted the night before; that had been obvious when the vampire had growled at Lily. Sebastian didn’t enjoy feeding off Ticks, but he often did it. Carter had seen him single-handedly take on packs with four or five Ticks in them. It didn’t bode well for their progress today that the only packs he’d found had been too large to attack. However with Collabs and Ticks already tracking them, Sebastian’s hunger was the least of their worries. They’d left Uncle Rodney’s house and been in the car for six hours, pushing the van to its limits.
