Chapter 183-1
Troy
“Help us,” I said slowly to Saris. “You can’t let this happen.”
“I told you; I am not allowed to interfere. I’ve already broken Fae law by infiltrating the cult and
helping you. I’m only here to retrieve what was stolen from us.” Slowly, she leaned down and
gathered the dead witch in her arms. “I am sorry.”
Then, she disappeared.
London’s wolf came tearing out of him, and I quickly blocked his path before he left. “If anything happened in my pack, I would know. I would know it through the bonds. I can feel Jenson and Willa. They’re fine.”
London growled, and I shook my head. “She’s lying to us London, and it could very well be to separate us. Get control of your wolf. I’m going to get the satellite phone and call.”
Lowering his head, he reached for the pack and tossed it my way. The implications were clear. If I made the call, and he didn’t like what they had to say, he’d be gone, and it would be up to me to
catch up.
The phone was double sealed in a watertight pack. I pulled it out and made the call. Willa answered on the other end. “Did you find her?” she asked.
“No, I’m still tracking her, but I have a reason to believe that Claudine has discovered who Lunessa
- When was the last time you saw her?”
“A couple of hours ago. Jenson is with her now.”
“Call him. Verify that she is fine.”
If Willa thought that was odd, she didn’t say anything. We heard her make the call and heard Jenson verify that Lunessa and Irene were both with him, “Anything else?”
“Let her know, as gently as you can, that the third witch of their coven is dead. Anticipate trouble,
and remember, Claudine has a helicopter and access to dozens of witches.”
“Like I could forget.”
I hung up and London slowly shifted back. “Sorry,” he muttered.
“No problem. I lose my head when it comes to my mate too,” I said lightly. For once, he didn’t deny
who Lunessa was to him. Instead, there was just relief on his face.

Chapter 183-1
“Why would she lie to us?”
“To make us move faster? I don’t know. What I do know is that Kiana was here. Give me an hour to
search the place, and then we can head out.”
London nodded shortly, and we split up. If Claudine was here, it was possible that she left
something behind, or I could get a sense of where Kiana was going next. It wasn’t like there were a ton of places on the mountain where she could find sanctuary.
Her scent lingered on many of the books I found discarded on the floor. Some had been stacked neatly on the side, and I glanced at the titles. Journals. No doubt she was looking for answers about the prophecy.
“Troy,” London shouted. “Come look at this.”
I followed his voice down the hall to a room with a splintered door. Whoever was here left no stone unturned. Every room had been torn into it. “What?”
“Do you recognize this?” London asked as he held up a pale blue crystal. “It’s for communication.”
I frowned. “How do you know? It looks like every other crystal I’ve ever seen.”
“Ava uses them to talk to other witches. It’s got a chip in it, like a phone chip, but it’s symbolic.” He held it up for me to see. “And heavily magicked.”
I took the crystal. “You think this is going to help us? If we contact another witch with one of these
things?”
London rolled his eyes. “It doesn’t work like a phone. I said the chip is symbolic. With the right spell, the holder can connect to anyone. You can connect to Kjana.”
“Kiana is a null. The magic won’t reach her.”
