Willow took off as if imps nipped at her heels, leaving Alistair with her mother.

“She’s a good girl. Smart. Pretty. Stubborn.”

“You don’t need to sell her to me,” Alistair replied. He already knew all those things. Plus the fact that she had a close-knit family. Very close. So tight, her daddy had whipped the football at him while casually announcing, “Hurt my daughter, I hurt you.”

Then the brothers, one by one, with wide smiles, also threatened him. In direct contrast to the mother, who thought they should sleep together.

He preferred the latter suggestion.

They took their leave, Willow emerging from the bowels of the house, refusing to meet his gaze and saying they should go.

She suffered, with rolled eyes, the bone-crunching hugs of her siblings and father, almost hit the floor with the bag of leftovers her mother bestowed upon her, then led the way out of the house.

A home, he corrected, full of love, and a surprisingly well-informed family.

Had the TDCM cut themselves off so much from the world that they truly were the last to know?

The car ride proved quiet as she whipped through the streets. Tension hung in the air, sexual tension, he’d wager, given her flushed cheeks.

“You have quite an interesting family,” he noted, not willing to remain quiet.

“I do.”

“Are your brothers and father witches like you?”

“Not quite. They have some magic, but they’re not into the whole potion and coven thing.”

“Do you have any more hidden siblings, or was that the lot of them?”

“That’s it for my immediate family. We won’t talk about my extended one.”

“Why? Family rift?” He knew all about those.

“You could say. Mom’s family disowned her for marrying my father. Daddy, on the other hand, was an only child.”

Which might explain the large family he’d created.

“I don’t have much of a family. Only my father is left.” The tidbit he revealed was surprising, given he rarely mentioned anyone related to him.

“That’s sad.”

“I guess. We aren’t close.” Understatement. Hard to maintain a relationship when those related to you wanted to kill you to move up in position.

“Yet you still followed in your dad’s footsteps. Your father is well known as an expert in things ancient and magical.”

“My knowledge was from curiosity, not the urge to emulate another.”

“I can understand that. I was always poking my nose into everything as a kid. I read all the time; whereas my brothers preferred action.”

“Who do they work for?” he asked.

“I can’t say.”

The reply surprised him. “What do you mean, you can’t say? Aren’t they employed by the coven?”

“Nope. If they were, they would have been reporting to me directly. I’m just lucky they like me enough to share.”

“Then who do they work for?”

“My answer of like fifteen seconds ago is still the same. I can’t say. But I will throw you a bone. The TDCM isn’t the only agency out there.”

Something more secretive than the wizards?

Now that shocked him.

They pulled into the warehouse district, and he noticed her tensing beside him. Night had fallen, a thick blanket of darkness and shadows where anything could hide, and from which predators liked to hunt.
