CHAPTER 15

Black Glade Bayou, Louisiana

LEANDRA STARED AT THE SERPENT. It stared back.

One of us is giving in. And it isn’t me.

She pushed her thoughts toward the serpent.

Get thee from my grandmother’s porch, else face my wrath.

The serpent slid its forked tongue out of a lipless mouth, flicked it her way.

Leandra blew a breath out slowly, letting it linger as the serpent tasted her scent.

The damned creature refused to yield its spot, raising its head threateningly.

Leandra’s nostrils flared.

You had your chance.

She raised her right hand slightly, ready to send the oversized dark, banded cottonmouth to its maker.

In the blink of an eye, less than a blink of an eye, an arrow pinned the snake’s head to the porch’s wooden column not far from Leandra’s face.

“What the hell?” The whisper escaped her in a whoosh.

She glanced toward the wooded area just past the ramp that led to her grandmother’s cottage.

She caught a glimpse of a shadow. Her eyes narrowed.

A large man stepped out from the undergrowth.

“Playing with snakes?” Theo’s accented voice was thick with emotion.

She knew that emotion only too well. They’d become close in the last few months. He was a regular visitor at her cabin.

She never went to the Arceneaux property to see him. She knew Lézare Arceneaux’s position on Theo being involved with a witch.

Particularly me.

She pushed away the sting of rejection. It stung even when the person delivering the rejection didn’t matter.

“I’m not playing with snakes. He’s trifling with me. And trespassing on my property. I warned him.”

Theo laughed, the sound filling the swamp. Birds chirped in response. “You’re living on the edge.”

“A serpent cannot hurt me.”

“Could a lion?”

“A lion could do anything he wanted. This lion could.” She trailed a finger over his chest.
