Despite Hadrian’s concern that Holly might try and bolt again, he decided to bring her back to The Oblique Café. If the creature was targeting the group, it would be safer for them to stick together. Besides, he’d told her that she was a wizard and she didn’t scream or try to run away. Perhaps her powers were finally starting to wake up.

Frank Stone had called a meeting at the café. Hadrian could see through the glassed café door that the inside of the café was packed.

“The café is exactly where I expected it to be,” Holly was saying as Hadrian put his hand on the front door. “It’s exactly where it is every time you bring me here and exactly where it isn’t every time I go looking for it. Why is that?”

“Because you’re not ready to find it on your own.”

She tilted her head and considered that a moment. “And am I ready now?”

“Did you see the café before I touched the door?”

The thought about it for a moment and then frowned. “No, I didn’t. What does that mean?”

“It means you’re not ready.” He wished she was, but she wasn’t.

And if she still wasn’t ready for the magic to flare to life, he doubted she’d handle returning to the café now any better than the first two times that she’d run away as if demons from hell were chasing her. Still, letting her go back to her apartment was too dangerous. The creature had tasted her. It had formed a connection with her.

If he had to, he would use his powers against her. He’d hold her against her will. He would keep her safe from the soul eater, even if it meant forcing her to face a life that her mind wasn’t ready to face.

Better to have a broken mind than no soul.

Hadrian ran a hand over his face as he fought an urge to turn her head to his and kiss away those fears that were darkening her pretty eyes. Damn it, he’d started to have feelings for Holly Post. Strong feelings.

Feelings that could prove fatal for the both of them. Frank Stone had said several times that they needed Holly to defeat the soul eater. But how could a New One who didn’t have enough magic inside her to find the doorway to the café defeat one of the oldest creatures on Earth? Hell, the soul eater had nearly chewed her up and spit her out without a second thought. And it had defeated Justin, who had been a scary wizard with some amazing powers.

So why did Stone want Holly? Why had he insisted that Hadrian force her to accept that she was a wizard before she was ready?

Hadrian didn’t like it. And he didn’t like the way his chest tightened when he thought about sending Holly back out to face the soul eater again.

He took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze. “I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you.
