It takes me close to an hour to clean the mess Izzy made. She knew exactly what she was doing even though I hadn’t ever shared my issues with untidiness. This is my safety net, my home. It needs to remain in order for it to continue feeling safe. Until her, this was the one place I could let my guard down. The tightness in my chest eases only slightly as I survey the now spotless bedroom. Now there’s so much more than order and neatness in my life. There’s the chaos of my growing feelings for the witch who is sitting downstairs, plotting how to leave me, possibly for another man. It’s driving me mad, knowing she’s right, that they aren’t safe here. But the thought of her anywhere without me makes my chest ache. If she were a shifter, she’d not be willing to leave. If she were like me, she’d also more than likely already be carrying my baby and no one would be after her in the first place.

I catch a whiff of electricity in the air and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. Someone is doing a spell.

“Bloody hell,” I mutter as I rush down the stairs. “Beauty? What’s going on down here?”

If she’s left me without a word of warning, I’ll lose it. But I still feel her presence. She can’t be gone. I’d know the moment we were separated. Every minute I’d been gone due to the change had been painful, like a spike being slowly driven into my heart.

The three of them sit on my living room floor, their hands joined and candles burning in the center of their circle. The worry in my chest eases at the sight of her. Her gorgeous wheat-colored hair moves in the non-existent breeze, as though it has a life of its own as she murmurs silently. The flames in each of the three candles rise higher than would seem possible before snuffing themselves out and leaving curls of white smoke behind. Izzy opens her eyes and offers me an apologetic grin.

“Sorry about my tantrum.”

I can’t even be angry about it. Not after witnessing whatever they’d just done. Shrugging, I gesture at the candles. “What’s all this, then?”

Helena stands as Gwen collects the candles. “It’s a protection spell. Sort of like an alarm system. It’ll tell us when anyone other than the four of us enters the property.” Helena’s voice doesn’t hold the disdain I’ve become used to hearing.

“That should give us time to get to another location,” Gwen says, a soft smile on her pretty face. “Izzy doesn’t want to leave you, Beast.”

My gaze snaps to my beauty. Izzy’s cheeks are pink with embarrassment, but she doesn’t look away. “I thought you’d leave if you wanted to. That’s what you said earlier.”

Lifting her chin in defiance, she says, “Obviously I don’t want to.”

“So, you like to play games with me, then?”

Eyebrow cocked, she huffs. “I’m very competitive.”

“I don’t know if that’s the word I’d use.
