SAM

By the time Alex and I made it back to the mansion, I was fucking exhausted. We’d been all over the tristate area and lost the hunter’s trail at the territory border. We’d never even picked up on Sarah’s, which was both a concern and a relief.

She knew how to stay hidden. I just wasn’t sure how long that would be now that we knew the ritual had not only been a failure, but completely botched in every way.

The hushed tones of a bitter argument hit my ears as soon as we walked in, but I wasn’t sure why the twins were bothering to be quiet. They never gave a shit who heard their fighting.

Unless…

“He’s here, isn’t he?” Alex asked before I had the chance.

The twins stopped to look at us, and Cameron looked hella pissed, so I could only assume the answer was yes.

“He’s upstairs, sleeping,” Cyrus answered, leaning against the bar across the room. He was always a somber son of a bitch, but I hadn’t seen him this bad in a while.

“And he came of his own free will?” I asked doubtfully.

Cyrus snorted. “Hardly.”

“Did you hurt him?” Alex demanded.

Cyrus gave him an incredulous look. “What, now you want to act like a model boyfriend?”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“You tell me.”

“All right, that’s enough,” I interjected. Sometimes I hated being the group referee, but no one else was going to do it while Sarah wasn’t around. “We all have questions, and there’s no point going at each other’s throats when no one has the answers.”

No one said anything, but at least the fight was over for the time being.

“I’m waking him up,” Cameron said suddenly, stalking toward the stairs. “We’re done wasting time.”

Cyrus looked like he was about to go after him when a door closed upstairs and Chase appeared at the top of the stairs. The fact that he was still in the sweats and T-shirt from the lodge was proof enough he hadn’t come here willingly, and he looked like he hadn’t slept in a solid week. Then again, if he’d been plotting against us the entire time leading up to the lodge trip, he probably hadn’t.

“Chase,” Alex said, brushing past Cameron to meet him at the bottom of the stairs.

Chase pointedly walked past him without a single glance, and all four of us were on edge as we watched, waiting for his next move. Would he try to run again? His power was unpredictable enough to be a liability, especially with Ichor stuck in limbo between full incarnation and sleep.

“Since everyone’s here, let’s get the interrogation over with,” he said tonelessly, his arms folded as he walked into the center of the room. His entire posture was defensive, and I’d never seen him this shut down. He was like a different person. “While we’re at it, I have a few questions of my own.”

No one replied for a few seconds. We all just looked at each other awkwardly until Cameron spoke up.

“Great,” he said, walking over to Chase.
