Chapter 14

Mason’s blurry face swam in my vision as I slowly opened my eyes. There was a momentary flash of panic as the room cleared. I wasn’t where I last remembered—at The Ink Bomb with everyone. Judging from the now familiar surroundings, we were back at Helena’s home, in the guest room she’d given us for our visit. That could only mean one thing.

The spell hadn’t worked. My powers had rejected the magic again.

Lifting my wrist, there was no denying it. The skin that once held the freshly inked Celtic knot was now bare.

“Damn,” I cursed under my breath, rubbing my finger over my unmarred skin. It was as if the marking had never existed, all of Chunk’s hard work gone. “Something tells me there’s no binding my powers.”

“I was thinking the same thing. Strike three and all that.” Mason leaned down beside me, resting his arm over my waist. Kissing my temple gently, I knew he was just as disappointed as I was. I hadn’t wanted to admit it, but this trip to Salem had felt like our last hope in keeping Julian away. The more I thought about it, the more there was only two options—run or fight.

“So, what do we do?” I whispered, snuggling into him to enjoy his warmth. He let out a heavy sigh, which wasn’t a good sign. When Mason acted like that, it meant the only thing he was sure of was that the answer wasn’t going to be easy.

“Let’s go meet up with everyone and discuss our next step. There has to be something else we can do.”

Neither of us moved. “How bad was the spell rejection?”

“Scary. You kind of convulsed on the floor, moaning. For a second I thought you were going to shift but the ink in your wrist started pushing out through your skin. No one could approach you to try and comfort you. Once the tattoo was gone, you instantly calmed, falling into a healing sleep. When you didn’t wake up, we brought you back here so you would be comfortable.”

“How long have I been out?” I couldn’t imagine it being longer than a few hours.

“You’ve been dead to the world for about thirteen hours. I was starting to worry that something was wrong, but you finally stirred.” That would explain the fuzzy concerned look on his face when I opened my eyes, earlier.

I slowly sat up, Mason’s arm falling to the side. “We can’t waste any more time. Every minute we do, Julian is one step closer to finding me. We need to be prepared. I need to be more prepared. We can’t rely on silencing my magic, anymore. We need a new plan.”

“I agree. Now you’re up, let’s gather Devlin and Daniel and talk strategy.” Helping me stand, Mason wrapped his arms around me, again, brushing his lips over mine. “We’ll get through this. This was just one option. Try not to panic, okay?”

His comment made me laugh. “Reading my mind?”

“I don’t need to. I know you, sweetheart.
