Chapter Nine

I gave Wanda a call once I got to my car.

Lorcan owned a lot of property in town, and while he had his favorite haunts (forgive the pun), it was much easier just to ask Wanda where she was instead of driving from house to coven to house like the world’s most annoying game of Trick or Treat.

“Hello, Fifi,” she said after only two rings. She sounded, not exactly happy to hear from me, but not annoyed. Plus, she hadn’t hung up on me, so that was a good sign. If nothing else, Wanda was unpredictable.

“Hey, Wanda. Sorry to bug you, but I wanted to ask you about something.”

“What sort of something?”

“Um, witch stuff. Is there any way I could come and see you?”

There was a pause while she sipped something. If I knew Wanda, it was probably black coffee, roughly the size of a second grader’s blood volume. Or else it was something alcoholic. “Sure. Swing by the coven house.”

That surprised me: that she wasn’t with Lorcan. It also made me a little nervous, more like I was going to see Wanda, the High Witch of Haven Hollow’s coven, and less like I was going to see my friend Wanda.

“Okay, I’m on my way,” I managed to get the words out without tripping over them.

Wanda hung up. She was never one for drawn out goodbyes, so I didn’t take it personally.

The drive to the coven house was just long enough for me to start to fret. Maybe I was making a big deal about nothing. For all I knew, the amulet was Mrs. Petryka’s. Though I doubted she would have been okay with that open hole in her wall.

Maybe I was just meddling. Maybe I should have just turned over everything to Taliyah and walked away. Getting involved in other people’s business didn’t usually end well, case in point; Taliyah herself.

I had to force myself up the coven steps when I finally arrived, and used the heavy brass ring to knock before I chickened out completely. Yes, I was a Succubus and, thus, a demon, but I wasn’t representative of my species as a whole and, besides, witches could be intimidating.

It was Maverick who opened the door, which was a surprise, though I wasn’t sure why. I guess he’d always struck me as kind of the loner type, the only Warlock in a coven of Witches.

He nodded to me, and stepped back to let me inside, which was downright cheerful for the man, and I had to fight back the urge to squint at him suspiciously. He’d been extra testy for the last month or so.

I still wasn’t used to seeing Maverick with short hair. It had gotten butchered in a fight, from almost elbow length to up around his collar bone, and then he’d cut it further in order to go undercover at Blood Rose Academy in order to help his sister out of a bad situation. Now, as far as I understood things, Astrid was with her Fae uncle who had turned out to be Fox Aspen, Prince Reynard.
