Zeus parked his truck in Angie and Jeff’s driveway just as Jeff took his three-year-old son out of the car seat. The older child, Melissa, shut her door and stared at the truck. She must have recognized Jordan because her face brightened into a big smile.

Yet, there was sadness in the child’s depths. Zeus meet Jeff’s grim gaze and the man straightened with the toddler in his arms. There was panic in the man’s eyes. The way he held his son to him as if it may be the last time he would get to told Zeus something had happened. “What did Angie say on the phone?”

Jordan spoke through her teeth. “Apparently what she thought would get me over here without telling me the truth.”

Nodding, Zeus exited the truck. He wasn’t surprised Jordan picked up on the uneasiness of the family. Her intuition was strong. She had opened up her senses more since her mother’s death.

She was the Drakon’s next target, after all.

Jordan was out of the truck before Zeus got to her door. She brushed past him and scooped up Melissa in a tight hug. “How were your Grammy and Papa?”

“Good. I didn’t want to leave, but Daddy said we were going on a trip. It’s a surprise.” Melissa’s tone lacked the excitement that should be there at the idea of going on a mystery trip with her parents.

Jordan forced a smile at the girl as she carried her into the house after Jeff. “Let me see if I can find out for you. Can you take your brother to the playroom?”

Melissa nodded. Once Jordan set her on her feet, the girl grabbed her brother’s hand and led him down the hallway.

Zeus glanced from the kids to Jordan as she crossed her arms and glared at her aunt. Before Jordan could speak, Zeus asked, “What happened?”

Angie wrung her hands and glanced from her husband to Zeus, then to Jordan. Shaking her head, she picked up a piece of paper from the coffee table, then handed it to Jordan. “This was on Melissa’s bed this morning.”

Angie broke into sobs, and Jeff wrapped his arms around his wife. Anger rose up in Zeus, and he stepped closer to Jordan to read the note.

Tell your niece to hand over the stone and the kids will live to see their next birthdays.

Jordan fisted her hands, crumbling the paper into a ball. “Who did this? How dare they place threats on my cousins. As if I’d just freely hand the stone over.”

“Lower your voice,” Zeus whispered to her. He pried the paper from her hands and opened it. At the bottom of the page was a symbol he hadn’t seen in decades: A raven with its wings spread and a scroll in its claws. “Helena.”

Jordan twisted to face him. “What?”

Angie let out another sob. “No, that’s not possible.”

Zeus reached out and took Jordan’s hand. “Helena is the witch I told you about.”

“The one you took the stone from.” When he nodded, she turned to Angie.
