“What have you found out?” Egan asks.

Adele shifts her gaze to him. “There’s been increased traffic in and out of some of the coven compounds.” Her eyes turn to me. “Especially Jax’s family’s. Unfortunately, we don’t know who all the visitors are yet or what’s going on inside.”

“It’s coven leaders,” I say. “And they’re discussing how to draw us out so they can make quick work of killing us.”

Adele jerks at my harsh truth, but there’s no sense in sugarcoating it. Part of me itches to head back to Bane Central to work some more, but another part can’t stand the thought of being cooped up again quite so soon.

“Is Rule here?”

Adele nods. “Upstairs.”

“Do you think he’s up for company?” My stomach twists as my nerves threaten to take over. Adele had been more understanding than I expected. Would Rule?

She gives me a sad smile. “I think he’d like that.”

We head for the back of the shop, but after I pass Adele I stop and turn around. I retrace my steps to her and wrap her in my arms. Neither of us says anything, but there’s no need. I step back without looking her in the eye and head toward the back of the building and the stairs that lead to the top floor residence.

When I reach the top of the stairs, I find the door that leads into the kitchen open. I step through and see Rule slouched on the couch watching a football game.

“Do you need something, Mom?” he says without looking away from the TV.

“Hey, Rule.”

He jumps to his feet and stares at me then toward the stairs. My heart aches that he’s probably wondering if I’ve hurt his mom.

Keller walks into the kitchen behind me, and Rule relaxes a little.

“They let you out,” Rule says.

“Just a short break,” I say. “We have a lot of work to do prepping for battle with the covens.”

“I don’t understand.” Rule swallows visibly. “You killed a man right in front of me.”

“Yes, I did.” I sense Keller about to rise to my defense, but I raise my hand to stop him. “And I’m trying to atone.”

“How can they trust you enough to let you walk free?” He’s not being harsh, just matter of fact.
