I'm pretty sure I would have if I ran in vampire circles, and I did not. Thank god. I tried to avoid them like I would avoid the plague.
"Yes, apparently, he was adopted by the former prince and inherited the position from him. When Prince Visconti saved the life ofKingNicolae Alexandruof Romania, he was made the grand prince of vampires."
My eyes rounded with shock. "Holy crap!"
I bet that set the vampire world on its fang.
Alessandro and I climbed onto the elevator, but we were joined by two of Alessandro's men. He waved his hand to one of them. "This is Tashiama, but we call him Tashi. Like I said, he is the head of my security."
"Hello," I said. "It's nice to meet you. I suspect I'll be seeing a lot of you in the future."
The tall gryphon nodded back to me. "Consort René."
Oh, god, not this.
"Not yet." I glanced at Alessandro. "But maybe soon."
Alessandro was growing on me.
"Sir." Tashi's eyes darted to me for a moment before going back to Alessandro. "Luca called."
"And?"
"Um, sir..."
"Just say it, Tashi," Alessandro demanded. "René has the right to know what is going on."
"Of course, sir. Well, Luca called. There was minimal damage to the consort's apartment, most of it situated near the elevator. After taking evidence, some of the guards cleaned up the mess, but we do have pictures if we need them."
"And does Luca have a suspect?"
"Not at this time, sir. He said he is gathering the evidence and will be by to speak with you tomorrow concerning what he has found so far."
"Good," Alessandro replied before turning to me. He must have seen the confusion on my face because he started explaining to me what was going on. "Luca is the man I told you about that I put in charge of finding out who attacked you."
"Oh, okay." I vaguely remembered him mentioning something about that. "I'd like to be kept informed of whatever he finds."
"Of course,gattino. We can both meet with Luca in the morning." Alessandro smiled as he turned toward Tashi. "René has agreed to spend a week in my world if I spend a week in his world. It's a way for us to get to know each other better."
Tashi's eyes widened. "You're going to spend a week...?"
Alessandro frowned. "You don't think I can spend a week living how the other half lives?"
"I don't think you can spend a week away from your office. The world might implode."
The guard with us let out a sputter of laughter before quickly schooling his features when Tashi glared at him.
"Sir," Tashi said as he turned back to us. "I applaud your desire to spend time with your mate, but I'm not sure how you expect to leave the ruling of the gryphons in Italy for an entire week. I just don't see how it could happen."
"That's why I have you and Paolo."
Tashi paled. "Sir?"
"I also have a cell phone, Tashi. If there's a problem, you can always call me. Just because I will be spending a week with René does not mean I am totally unavailable."
Tashi groaned.
"We're spending a week in your world first," I said, hoping that might help. "We just need to see if we can mesh our two worlds together before this goes any farther."
