As we pulled out of the library parking lot, Ridley turned on the radio. I glanced in the side mirror, watching as Dorian pulled out behind us following in his SUV. The knots in my stomach eased as we gained speed while turning out of the library. I’d been worried either Lilith, Roman, or one of their soldiers would ambush us on our way to her car. Thankfully, that hadn’t happened.

“Normally, I drive in silence. It gives me time to think about things, but right now silence and thinking don’t seem like a good idea,” she said with a slight chuckle. A pop song I’d heard a million times trickled through the speakers. “I hope you don’t mind this station. I could use something upbeat to listen to.”

I shook my head. “I don’t mind. It’s fine. And just so you know, you don’t have to go through with this if you don’t want to. I wouldn’t be mad if you decided it was too dangerous. None of us would.”

While that might not be the truth for everyone, it was for me.

“It is dangerous—trust me when I say that’s something my mind insists on reminding me—but me being bait makes sense. Besides, it’s time Mirror Lake had some peace. I know I haven’t lived here long, but I swear when I first moved here this place seemed dead. Nothing happened here.” The ghost of a smile twisted her lips. “I thought this place was boring. I’m learning that it’s not. As a matter of fact, I’d gladly take boring over this Midnight Reaper crap any day. There have been too many life-or-death instances in town lately. I’m glad I can help put an end to this.”

“There has been a lot of activity recently. Hopefully, once we get Lilith and Arturo out of town and capture Roman for the Montevallos things will calm down.”

“Hopefully,” Ridley said. “I think I’m going to grab some protection talismans from my aunt before we leave my house, just to be on the safe side.”

Her hands gripped the steering wheel tighter. Apparently, having the radio on wasn’t keeping her mind off things. It wasn’t working for me either.

“That’s a great idea.”

“Not that I don’t trust you guys to keep me safe. I just think I’d feel better if I had some form of backup,” she said.

“I understand. Do whatever you feel you need to. No one is going to judge you. I can promise you that. We’re all grateful you’re agreeing to help.”

“Thanks,” Ridley insisted. “You know, even if I wasn’t being offered up as bait, I would have helped. I don’t agree with what my aunt is doing. I think in situations like this the supernaturals in town should come together, not become divided. She shouldn’t be placing so much pressure on your pack to fix this. It’s not fair. We should be helping you. Not threatening you.”

“Maybe your aunt is scared. Maybe that’s why she threatened us.”

“Could be.” Ridley shrugged. Her grip on the steering wheel loosened.
