Amelie (Immanuel’s fiancée) and Fernand (her brother) were blood-servants, and Leo turned them both, wanting them to be tied to Immanuel. Both might have been directed to Immanuel by de Allyon. Or our mystery vamps who are pulling the strings in the background. Perhaps multiple vamps worked together to keep Immanuel’s secret.
Alex’s note #1: When a liver-eater eats a living being, it gets the body and the memories, but Immanuel was never considered a political being. Not saying he was stupid as shit, but he wasn’t known to be a genius either. Possibly someone pulled Immanuel’s strings. One possible candidate is de Allyon, but he’s dead, so there’s that. Not like we can drive up and politely ask him.
Alex’s note #2: Three very strong vamps had primos or Enforcers that could not be bound... Adan, Leo, and Grégoire. Significance?
Jane was the Enforcer. All of the primos (Ka, George Dumas, and the Roberes) were turned to Onorio by Bethany, outclan priestess, now true dead.
I rubbed my fingertips over the words on the sheet of paper, as if I could get wisdom from the tactile connection. It was interesting that we were thinking alike. If skinwalkers were so hard to bind, then how did Ka become Adan’s primo? Was it voluntary? Forced? Or a relationship similar to the one the Robere twins and Grégoire share? They loved him, so serving him had always been a choice. I went back to the research.
If skinwalkers can’t be bound, what hold did de Allyon or a EuroVamp have on the male skinwalker, Immanuel, and why did he stay with the role of Leo’s son for over a century?
Jane (skinwalker) killed Immanuel (the skinwalker liver-eater), the agent of someone else.
Immanuel dead. Jane working for Leo.
Vamp who had been in charge of Immanuel lost his long game. Now pissed.
Rick and Jane hooked up.
I glared at Alex, who slurped another of the disgusting-looking natural energy drinks. His lips twitched up, but he didn’t look away from his own pages.
