Chapter Twelve

Hawk very loudly didn’t say anything over breakfast. I made eggs, all the eggs in The Chief’s fridge, and the rest of the bread. We weren’t going to be able to stay holed up here for much longer with Hawk’s appetite. But I guess, with his muscle mass, he needed to scarf things down like a food contest champion.

It wasn’t until I stood in the training room staring down a sparring bag did he finally talk. “You do realize you can swallow your pride and call him. Apologize and move on. You’re mated, it’s a lot more permanent than even a straight up marriage. I’m sure you’ll work it out.”

I couldn’t explain our past and how many times I’d put the road between Fin and I. How many times I’d done the opposite of what he asked of me. Nor did I want to go into it with him. My personal life remained personal, even if I suddenly had several new people around who thought they should get a sneak peek into things.

I glared at him while I punched the bag, a little harder than necessary for effort.

He watched my form for a moment and then nodded. “How does it feel doing that without access to your magic?”

I shrugged and tightened the straps around my hands. “The Chief’s house cuts me off from it, but it’s not uncomfortable. I’ve gone most of my life without magic, so it doesn’t really bother me not to be able to access it. As cool as the stuff is on TV, it’s not like I’m walking around casting spells and using it to live my life. It mostly only comes out when I need to hurt people or defend myself.”

He nodded thoughtfully and took up his own stances against his bag. His punches were decidedly harder and sent it teetering so hard the ring creaked against the metal.

“I guess all those eggs are paying off.”

“I’d say fuck off, but you’re not wrong.”

My phone ringing kept him from any more witty remarks. I snagged it off the towel and glared at him while I answered. “Hello?”

“Is this Zoey?”

The voice didn’t sound familiar. “Who is this?”

“Echo. Do you remember me?” The mage who turned my world inside out, and not in a good way.

Hawk crossed the mats to listen as I hit the speaker button. “What can I do for you? After you tell me, maybe tell me how you got my number.”

“I got it from Helix. He said you might be less hostile if I called first. Can we meet?”

“Why?”

He huffed into the phone, as if I were the one wasting his time. “Didn’t I help you? Why are you treating me like a stranger? I let you into my mind.”

Men. All the same. I rolled my eyes and didn’t bother glancing at Hawk. “And what, now we have to consummate our relationship with pointless chitchat? What the hell are you calling for?”

There was a long pause and he finally spoke again. “Are you going after The Black Mage?”

Now he had my attention.
