Keen was furious and stomping down the hall. When Shimmer heard him mumbling under his breath that was her sign that their father didn’t say Shaylin was his Mate. “Keen, you want to talk?” Keen walked into Shimmer’s room collapsing with defeat onto her window seat. “I’m not going to do this. It’s not fair to any Mate, if I’m in-love with my Servant.” Shimmer walked over to sit next to her brother. “I have a secret; I’m going to leave two days before the Vampire Valentine party, and not come back until two days after.” Keen glanced over at his sister. “What are you talking about?

“Remember the night Meg showed up and told the adults that there could be trouble? Well, later that night I overheard Mother telling Father that he must order us to our secrets, like me not using my mind control on the humans, and you not feeding on humans unless it’s an emergency, --- He tried to order us.” Keen started pacing the room. “I don’t get it.

Consequently, Shimmer was her own person and more determined then Rae and her mother put together, --- when she sits her mind to something there was no changing it. Rae cursed under her breath, “And Keen will follow Shimmer.” River glanced down, “What was that love.” Rae smiled though River could see it was not real, Rae replied, “Nothing, however, I fear Meg is right.”
Shimmer started giggling when she heard the news; her father could not order them as his children. This was great news for her. She was hiding in the secret passage behind the bookcase. She had found it one day while following Shadow around the house. She wanted to know how he got from one place to another without walking down the halls, and how he appeared to know everything. She discovered his secret passageways and started using them to do the same thing. She giggled to herself as she tip-toed back to her room thinking she really was
