Lucien had glimpsed Topaz?s excitement about seeing Auriga, but what he couldn?t tell was how long she was going to want to stay. He?d been sent out from his home world to hunt vampire, and he had done just that for over 1600 years, but there never seemed to be any diminution of vampire, and over the centuries, his own people had dwindled to only a small portion of what they had once been. Perhaps it was time to go home for a while.
The Prince hadn?t called for his return, but Mikhail would not deny him time in his native world, and besides, they would be bringing a rare gift with them. Sylviana may be half Carpathian, but she carried a very old and very respected blood line. She needed to be introduced to her family.
He groaned, Sylviana had wanted to take ALL of her toys with her, and he?d had quite a time convincing her that she couldn?t possibly take them all. The problem he decided was Tormay. Every time the lad was around Sylviana, she wrangled a new bear or gift from him, and doting half brother that he was, he gave in to his daughter?s wiles.
Lucien headed for the Star?s End docking port to file the flight plans. They would leave with the morning window for Auriga.
He checked the Star Wanderer one last time. Everything was ready.
