Later that night, Cass, Nix, and I sat on the upstairs landing, drinking boxed wine out of coffee mugs and spying on Roarke and Cade down in the living room. We couldn’t hear them over the Allman Brothers that played on the stereo, so we weren’t being super stalkers, but it was nice to watch them.

“They’re so lucky,” Nix murmured. She’d come by thirty minutes ago, after she’d done a bit of work at Ancient Magic.

“Yeah.” I sipped my wine.

“I mean, he thought his brother was lost.” Her voice was wistful. “But here he is.”

I reached for her hand, knowing just what she was thinking. “We’ll find your family.”

Cass grabbed her other hand. “They might even be alive.”

Hope lit up Nix’s face. “You think?”

“Yeah, it’s possible,” I said.

“It’s probable,” Cass said. “One of us needs a happy ending with our families.”

Nix’s smile immediately fell. “Oh, I’m so sorry. That was thoughtless of me. You both already lost your families.”

“I lost mine before I ever found them,” I said.

“And we didn’t lose all our family,” Cass said. “We have each other.”

Nix smiled. “We do.”

After a while, Cass asked, “Do you have any idea what you’ll do, Del?”

“You mean, about the curse?”

“Yeah.”

“Hunt down the Shadows and kill them. Hopefully that will work.” Worry tugged at my chest, stronger than ever. It was a demon with sharp claws, pulling and yanking. “I can’t kill Roarke’s brother.”

“And you can’t let the Shadows get control of you,” Nix said. “Or worse will happen.”

A prickle of sweat broke out on my skin at the very thought of it. “I know.”

Demons breaking out onto Earth would be so much worse. Catastrophic on a level I couldn’t begin to comprehend. Not only would they cause massive death and destruction—the Telenec demon wasn’t the only flesh-eating variety—but they’d reveal supernaturals to the humans.

Then, not only would we be fighting demons, we’d be fighting humans as well. And there were so damned many humans. We relied on them. They built the infrastructure on which the world turned. Supernaturals used human money, roads, planes—everything. Most of us even blended into human cities.

It’d be the end of the freaking world as we knew it.

“Do you have any ideas?” Nix asked.

“Only one.” Something strange fluttered in my chest, a visceral sensation. “I need to collect more powers. If I’m going to defeat so many Shadows, I need more gifts.”

“I hate to be a downer,” Nix said. “But you haven’t even mastered your telekinesis yet. Should you steal more before you do that?”

Annoyance simmered. “I’ll practice.”

“You need to,” Nix said. “Powers aren’t any good if you can’t use them.”

“Will you take from demons or other supernaturals?” Cass asked.

“You mean take the gifts with my Phantom power or my FireSoul power?” I asked.

“Yeah.”

“Phantom. It’s easier—and less guilt inducing—to kill demons. I wouldn’t know how to find supernaturals worth killing.” And I didn’t want to be the final judge of whether or not they deserved to die.

“Yeah, that’s the hard part,” Cass said. “You pretty much have to wait until their hands are around your throat before you make a move.
