It wasn’t hard to get back to the Protectorate. As if Otherworld had realized that I’d accomplished my goal already, it had spit us out pretty much immediately, and we found ourselves standing on the lawn in front of the castle. One second we were in Otherworld, the next, we were in Scotland.

The sun was dipping behind the horizon and the night air growing chilly. I’d lost all track of time in Otherworld, but it was evening here.

Immediately, I pressed my fingertips to my comms charm. “Bree? Rowan? Where are you?”

Bree’s voice filtered through. “We’re at the Whisky and Warlock. Jude’s here too. Most people, really.”

“We’ll be right there.” My stomach rumbled as loud as a truck, no doubt at the thought of the meat pie that the pub served. I was famished.

“Dinner time?” Lachlan asked.

“Is it ever. Let’s go eat and talk.”

We made our way quickly through the enchanted forest, passing by the gnarled old trees and the fairy lights to find the portal that would take us to Edinburgh. I let the portal suck me through the ether and spit me out in the alley in the Grassmarket. The sound of revelry echoed from the main street.

Lachlan and I pushed through the crowd, which seemed to be celebrating some kind of sports victory, if the matching outfits were any indication, and made our way into the Whisky and Warlock.

I turned left, entering the room that was usually full of Protectorate members. The fire burned merrily in the hearth, and Sophie wiped down the bar, a big grin on her face. The smell of food and beer made my stomach grumble, while the scent of woodsmoke made me want to sink down in a chair in front of the fire and never get up. Apparently, my trials in the Otherworld had given me a powerful need for a nap.

“Ana!” Rowan’s voice cut through the crowd.

I turned, catching sight of her by the bar with Bree. I hurried toward them. They threw their arms around me in a big hug. Before I’d even pulled away, I blurted, “I found our mother.”

Rowan pulled back and gasped. “What?”

Shock flashed on Bree’s face. “Where? Otherworld?”

“Yep. She lives there now. It’s her afterworld.”

“Oh my gosh.” Tears sprang to Bree’s eyes.

“You can take us to see her?” Rowan asked.

I grinned, happier than I’d ever been in all my life. “Yep.”

“Wow. I just…” Bree shook her head. “I can’t believe it.”

“This is amazing.” Happiness glowed from Rowan.

“Ana!” Jude’s voice echoed across the bar.

I turned, catching sight of her at a table by the mullioned windows. She sat with Caro, Ali, and Haris. Hedy sat at the end, along with Jessie Ammons, head of the Demon Trackers Unit.

“Let’s go,” I said. “We’ll catch up more about mom later.”

“Definitely,” Bree said.

We headed toward them and gratefully took the seat that offered. Lachlan sat next to me, and my sisters squeezed in at the end.

“You look like you could use some chow,” Ali said.

“Definitely.”

He stood. “You hang out. I’ll get you something.
