Chapter 9

Waking up in bed was an entirely different experience when you didn’t wake up until noon.

Addie slid her hand through the sheets all around her. Daylight was streaming in through her windows. She could feel the warmth of it against her bare skin. She could see it slanting across the floor when she cracked her eyes open, and quickly shut them again. She didn’t want to be awake yet.

Addie and Willow had stood with Kiera around the Family Circle much longer than they should have. Each of them was completely drained by the time they were done. Finally, at dawn, they had decided to call an end to their searching.

They had not found Eugene.

They also hadn’t found any further trace of Alan.

For a short while they had even searched for Belladonna, reasoning that despite their warning to her to stay out of Shadow Lake, she must still be close by. Granted she was powerful, but hijacking the Circle like that could only be done from within a certain radius. She had to be here. Somewhere.

Addie did not like the idea of that one bit, but she couldn’t do anything about the evil witch right now. There were too many other things going on. Until Belladonna showed herself again, that evil witch would just have to be one more thing they put on the back burner.

The truly pressing matter was finding Eugene. He was the prime suspect in the murder of Danny Bellinger. Why else would he run? If what Dahlia the private investigator had said was true, he had likely killed his wife as well. They needed to discover where he had gone before he killed again.

But how were they going to find him? That was the real question. Perhaps if they—

“And you humans think cats are lazy.”

Addie sat up straight, blinking down at the black and white lump of fur nestled into the puffy folds of the comforter, up against the outline of her leg. “Doyle! What have we talked about? This is my bed. You do not sleep in my bed. You have your own bed, remember? The whole point to us getting you your very own cat beds—plural mind you, more than one—was so you could have your own place to sleep.”

He rolled over languidly, humming to himself as his eyes slid closed. “But you’re just so warm. It’s the duty of the humans of this household to make my life comfortable. I am feline royalty, after all. So. I command you then to lend me your warmth while I sleep.” One paw patted the air above him. “Make it so, my adoring human. Make it so for your—oof!”

Addie tossed the blankets aside and Doyle found himself rolling off the bed, clawing to hold on as the weight of the comforter kept dragging him down. Finally, he gave up.

He glared at Addie as he helplessly sank over the edge with the bedding, claws hooked in deep. A second later he hit the floor with a thump.

She covered her mouth with a hand to hide a fit of giggles.
