Chapter 105-1
Troy
Once Eloise was fed and Saul busy, I steered Kiana back to our rooms. “I’m going to make us some
sandwiches for lunch. Why don’t you take a few moments to rest? You can review the information
that London gave you, if you want.”
Kiana frowned. “I told you I wasn’t sure if I was ready to look into that.”
“Okay, then rest. I’ll be up in a few minutes.”
Rubbing her chest, her eyes glazed over for a few seconds and she nodded. On the way to the kitchen, I knocked on Janelle’s door. It did not surprise me to see Cindy there, glaring at her. Janelle looked as if she needed to sleep for days. “Walk with me.”
Cindy’s eyes widened, and she stood, but I held up my hand. “I just need a witch.”
“That witch in particular?” she accused.
“No. She just happens to be the closest witch.” I was done explaining to her that I was not going to use Janelle to take control of my wolves. Janelle stepped out, and I closed the door between us. After a moment, I opened it back up again. “I’m going to the kitchen. Do you want any food?”
Cindy’s eyes blinked in surprise. “Um, maybe? I haven’t had lunch.”
“I’ll make you a sandwich.” I shut the door again and looked down at Janelle. “That finding spell really took it out of you, huh?”
“Ironic that the simplest of magics for some witches are energy draining for others. Are you hoping that I’m going to make lunch for you, Troy?”
“Frankly, I wouldn’t trust you with a spork right now. I have some questions, and this seems to be the most opportune time to ask them,” I said cheerfully as we headed down the steps. “What
would it take for magic to affect a null?”
“You mean Kiana?”
“Yes, since she’s the current null, but I mean any null. Have you ever heard if it’s possible?”
Janelle titled her head. Letting her think, I guided us back to the kitchen and began making us a couple of plates. While I was building the sandwiches, Janelle finally spoke. “I didn’t know much about nulls until Morven had me do some research. In truth, there isn’t much written about them. They were very secretive. Some reflected a larger area while others could only reflect from themselves. I tested Kiana a little, without her knowing or maybe she did know, while she was in

Morven’s pack, and concluded that her null magic is spreading a little more every day.”
Claim
“To answer your question, I think it might be possible for Kiana to be affected by magic if she chooses to be. The mating bond is evidence of that. That’s wolf magic, although I know she can
reject your pack bond whenever she wants, so she can deflect wolf magic, yet she lets the mating
bond stand. Nulls who were witches could still create magic, so I’m inclined to say that nulls could
be affected by internal magic, but Kiana isn’t a witch, so she doesn’t have any internal magic. I’d
need to do more research, or at least, Irene would.”
“What makes you say that?”
Janelle frowned at me, but when I didn’t say anything, she sighed. “You’re really going to make me point out the obvious? Cindy is sleeping in my room because she fears what I might do when I’m
alone.”
“And you let her because you feel guilty, which tells me that you’re not likely to misuse your magic any time soon,” I said mildly. “But I will also point out that the safest place for you is in my pack where I can keep an eye on you. Like it or not, Wolfspire is going to have two resident witches. You’ll work with Irene for the betterment of the pack. That’s how you’ll make things up to Kiana
and to yourself.”
