We reappeared in the dragon garden a few minutes later. Fortunately, nobody was there. It was so out of the way that hardly anyone came to this part of the coven. Jacob had chosen well. At some point, I’d have to properly forgive him for the Quetzi incident. Slowly but surely, he was winning me over.

Together, we headed out into the main hallway. A second later, I skidded to a halt and pulled the other two back. Levi had turned the corner into the corridor, and he didn’t look happy. He stormed toward us, ready to tear us a new one. I didn’t need Empathy to know he was pissed. I could see it on his face—he knew we’d been out.

“Crap, crap, crap!” Harley hissed. My thoughts exactly.

Hell was about to rain down on us. I just hoped the rest of the Rag Team wouldn’t get soaked along with us. Whatever happened, we had to defend the lie. We had to make sure they weren’t embroiled in this. Otherwise, everyone would be screwed.

“You!” Levi roared. “A word. NOW!”

Jacob was frozen stiff. He still wore his Tarver mask, but I could sense his fear at being found out.

“Not you. You can go. This will not be suitable for younger ears.” He flicked his wrist at Jacob, who didn’t need to be told twice. He scurried away and flashed us an apologetic look. I didn’t blame him. I wanted to do the same thing. “I’m very interested to hear where the two of you have been.” Levi’s eyes burned almost as brightly as Raffe’s. He might not have had a djinn, but Levi sure had a devil inside him. Right now, we were facing the pointy end of his pitchfork.

“We were taking a walk,” I replied. We had to play it cool.

“You don’t fool me, you little worms.” Levi’s chest heaved with the exertion of his anger. “I know about the duplicates, so don’t even try to use them to save your asses. I popped them like balloons. I haven’t figured out who made them, but I will. You can count on that. And when I find out, there will be hell to pay for that magical!”

Harley cleared her throat. “We wanted some privacy, that’s all.”

“Yes, some privacy,” I added.

“I trusted you, Wade, and you have let me down. I should have known you were too close to the situation to be given any responsibility.” He shot me a dark look to let me know my cover was blown. No more spying for me. “You underestimate me, both of you, and you undermine me. And it will stop. You two have no idea what I’m capable of, but I’m only too happy to make sure you find out,” he growled. “As if I wouldn’t spot a duplicate a mile off? I’m no fool.”

If you have to say it…

“So, I’ll ask again, where have you been?”

A very familiar voice echoed in the hallway behind us. “They were out to dinner. With me.”

I whirled around and stared into the eyes of the one person who could possibly be angrier at me than Levi.
