Chapter Sixteen

Rydell watched Raven gather her things, as she and Soren whispered back and forth then left.

Soren was confusing Rydell, too. He was a guardian. From all accounts from Rydell’s people he was the fiercest, the one that stood before them all each time they fought. Looking at him across the rink he just seemed like a laid back kid.

Soren was letting Rydell get close to Raven, which made zero sense. He should have sensed how dangerous he is. All Rydell could assume was that Raven had the final say. If she wanted someone near, the others couldn’t stop her.

Rydell revved his motor up. Dagen approached then slid into the passenger seat and slammed the door. He leaned against it with a furious expression aimed at Rydell.

“Did you get your boy fixed up?” Rydell asked, as he put the car in gear. Dagen had been playing nursemaid to Kade, wrapping a cloth around his hand which apparently had been hurt.

“Pretty bad burn,” Dagen said.

“You’re supposed to be helping him not letting him touch hot motors while they’re running.”

“Agreed,” Dagen said, as he cleared his throat. “Then again, when you’re looking at a motor and all the lights in the parking lot go out and a wave of energy knocks you forward, accidents do tend to happen.”

Rydell leaned back as he slammed a stoic expression firmly in place. He knew it had happened. A jolt of vim between him and Raven was powerful, pulled all the energy in the air to one place then pushed it away like a wave. What was twisted to him was the kiss was more innocent than their first, and had a bigger impact…she was coming into power. This was getting real, fast.

“For a second I thought this was all over. That you went in there and took care of business.”

“I told you I was going to try to figure it out.”

“Right. And you also told me you were going to be careful,” Dagen argued in the most respectable tone he could manage.

Rydell angled a glare at him. “I needed to figure out if she was playing me.”

“Her? Playing you?” he quipped. “King, we’re the ones acting like we’re in high school for Creator sake. I mean it was fun for a hot second but I’m over it.”

“Have you found Benjamin yet?”

“I was going to do that right after I was finished with my homework, boss man.”

Once again Rydell tossed a lethal glare his way.

Dagen raised his hand to tell him he was joking. “We’re looking for him.”

“Find him. He disobeyed me and he came to close to her again. Something is off about that.”

“Which I’m going to strangle him for,” Dagen seethed. “It would be our luck as soon as we get you side by side with Raven he shows up and the party is over. But then again, you had already managed to get really close with Raven. So I don’t imagine he could have ruined much.”

“I want to speak to him,” Rydell said, in a tone that clearly stated not many words would be used.
