Rowan POV
It had been a few hours since we had put Amber to bed and I found myself wondering if she was sleeping or if she was awake and disgruntled with the two of us for treating her albeit, a little bit, like a small child. Stefan was busy trying to placate the council over some nonsense and Darius, well Darius was nowhere to be seen. Something which disquietened me. He was up to something, I could sense it. Clarissa and Dylan were both gone but it didn't take a genius to know she was in his bedroom or what they were up to.
I walked upstairs and made my way to the bedroom where Amber was, knocking softly on the door. There was no answer and for a moment I almost walked away, thinking she was sleeping, when the door creaked open of its own accord.
"Amber" I whispered, walking forwar
