CORAL. I had hated watching James rough up Ruby like that. I understood that she had asked him to. She wanted it to be as real as possible so as not to arouse Tristan's suspicions. That's why she had turned me down when I had offered to glamour myself and take her place. She was worried that he would be able to smell the difference. So all I could do was watch as she was dragged off by that bastard and hope that she was right about what he would do next. Before long, he was back outside and sitting right beside the river. I listened as he called William, then as he made a second call, which I realised quickly was to Mab. He told her that she needed to kill someone quickly, or the plan wouldn't work. He didn't say a name but referred to the potential victim as she. My heart began to race.
