The sound of his phone ringing woke him up and Corbin nearly rolled off his bed trying to get to it.

Wade grumbled from the other bedroom, slamming his fist into the connecting wall to get him to shut it off.

“What?” Corbin grumbled as a greeting, kicking the wall in response to his brother.

“I found a few of the members of the Hellfire Society,” Jessica told him. “Want to come play with me?”

Corbin perked up at that. “Text me the location. I’ll be there within the hour.”

Jessica hung up and Corbin rolled out of bed into his morning pushups.

He was going to get the chance to ask them what the hell they needed a blood witch for.

Why couldn’t any witch use blood magic for their purposes? And why did they even know about blood witches when the entire concept seemed to be wiped from the collective paranormal memory?

But ravens, foxes, and coyotes had protections on their dens and eyries that even a god couldn’t penetrate because the wards were given by gods – the Morrigan, the Fox, the Desert Wolf, it didn’t matter. They were strong enough to protect the ‘lesser’ shifters.

It was why they remembered when no one else did.

But the raccoons were too chaotic to protect really; they did their own thing and not all of them had been inside the wards whenever that spell had rolled through the paranormal world. Corbin had never run across a raccoon personally, but he knew they were out there. Some lived with flocks, and some lived with the foxes.

But there was no way to know how many of them there were since they didn’t group up like most of the shifters.

“Leaving?” Wade asked from the doorway.

Corbin finished his pushups and wiped down the sweat. “I got a lead on a threat to the blood witch.”

“What did Armad tell you?”

That nothing would be the same. “Want to come hunting with me?” Corbin asked instead.

His hunting clothes were soft, soundless, dark as night, and bulletproof. There were wards built into the flexible material. The outfit had cost a small fortune but had been worth every penny.

“I feel like you’re getting paid too much to need help,” Wade scoffed. “But if there’s anything I can do for you here, let me know. Don’t hesitate to use the emergency line if you need it though.”

Corbin had never had to call for backup on a mission, and he never planned to need it. But then again…Mika’s life was at stake. “I will.”

Tying his boots and tucking the laces in, Corbin stood and started pulling out his favorite weapons from under the bed. He waited for Wade to say whatever it was that weighed heavy on his mind as he tucked away the blades and various other tools of his trade.

“Things are going to change, aren’t they?” his brother asked from the doorway, arms crossed over his chest and eyes narrowed.

“Yes.”

“For the better?”

Corbin paused at that. “Maybe.”

Then he strapped on his two favorite guns. Corbin rarely ever used them.
