Serenity’s mouth thinned into a line. “If Elizabeth can help rid you of this … thing, she will do whatever is necessary.”

“Even if it puts her at risk?” he challenged.

“She’s already at risk, Sebastian. Look at what almost attacked us in the house.”

Sebastian fell silent and drew back.

Serenity chewed at her lip as they walked. His smoldering presence at her back set her on edge. She didn’t want to fight with him or make him feel bad, but this wasn’t a time to play nicely or worry about hurt feelings. The thought of the demon lurking somewhere beneath the surface terrified her. Part of her wasn’t sure if it was Sebastian she was communicating with or the horrific thing she’d seen trying to climb from his face when she’d pinned him down on the bed.

The strange group wove between the clusters of smaller trailers until they reached a double-wide trailer at the back. Serenity caught sight of other women and children darting inside other trailers, the women ushering the children inside, watching the new arrivals with wide eyes.

Iona reached the door and turned back to them, Elizabeth close by her side. The younger girl watched Iona, enthralled.

“Leave us,” Iona said to the strapping men either side of her.

“But, Iona, don’t you think—”

“Conner,” she said, firmly. “I’ll be fine.”

“You can’t take a vampire in there with you.” His Irish accent was strong, lilting the end of his sentences.

“He won’t cause me any harm. His daughter has vouched for him.” Iona’s own accent was faint, but still present.

The big men glowered at Sebastian. He held his composure and stared back.

“I’m not asking your permission, Conner,” she snapped.

“Fine,” he said, though by his expression he didn’t mean what he said. “We’ll be right next door.”

Iona smiled at her visitors. “Come on in,” she welcomed them.

Elizabeth disappeared inside, closely followed by Serenity and Bridget, Sebastian bringing up the rear. Serenity stepped through the oval doorway and into a surprisingly spacious and modern interior. She wasn’t sure what she’d been expecting, but it certainly wasn’t the mahogany shined floors or simple cream walls. A bank of white leather couches framed two walls in an L shape. The living area opened out into a kitchen complete with marble counters and dark wood cabinets. Nothing about the place indicated a powerful witch lived here, or a teenage girl for that matter.

Elizabeth spun around, a wide grin splitting her face. “Mom, this is awesome! Can we get one of these?” She ran to the couch and threw herself down, waving her arms and legs as though creating a snow-angel.

“Elizabeth!” Serenity exclaimed, shocked at her daughter’s disrespect for someone else’s property.

But Iona laughed. “Yeah, it is pretty cool, huh? Not many sixteen-year-olds get to live somewhere like this on their own.”

Elizabeth sat up. “What about your Mom and Dad?”

A shadow passed across the girl’s face and, for the first time, she lost the in-command demeanor she carried. “They died,” she muttered. “I was only a baby. I don’t remember them.
