Chapter Seven

Kota walked up to the bushes and placed both of her hands against them. We watched as her expressions changed; most of them appeared to represent doubt. I questioned whether we were doing the right thing, but if we brought the alphas into this, they would force us back to the castle and then return on their own to investigate. I was not going to let them have this. We’d searched the west end and found the cottage. We would be the ones to search it, and then we would tell the alphas about it. I had no idea if this cottage belonged to the sorcerer we’d been looking for all these years, but my gut told me there was something here that would help us, if not give us answers.

“What are the odds she’ll actually be able to bring the barrier down?” Juda asked, watching Kota with concern. We all watched from a few feet away, trying to stay out of the her way while she worked. I had my doubts as well, because Kota was not as experienced. She was probably just as strong as her father, but he had control and she didn’t. If they had been training her on her spells the way they had been training us to fight, she would probably be able to bring the barrier down without breaking a sweat.

“She can do it,” Deja answered. “She just needs some time.”

“We don’t have all day,” Nova reminded us. “Eventually, whoever lives here is going to come home. And even if that doesn’t happen, the alphas will find us sooner or later.”

“Let’s hope it’s later,” I muttered as I focused on Kota. She was struggling, but her energy was still strong, which was a good sign. She was mumbling something under her breath over and over, but I wasn’t able to make out the words. I wouldn’t be able to understand it anyways. It all sounded foreign. Only the sorcerers seemed to think it was normal.

“What are we going to do if she can’t bring it down?” Nova asked. Kota’s face was looking more strained than it had just a moment ago.

“We can’t think like that,” I said.

“We have to,” Deja agreed. “We need to be prepared to move if the owner of this cottage comes back. We can’t portal, because Kota hasn’t mastered that yet, and she’s going to be too tired after all the energy she’s wasting right now.”

“How do we even know if whoever lives here isn’t watching us right now?” Juda wondered as we argued amongst each other. “It’s not like we were able to check.”

“Are you suggesting we’re walking into a trap?” Nova asked her.

Juda rolled her eyes. “No, I’m just saying if we’re coming up with plans we might want to come up with one for that while we’re at it.”

“Will you guys cut the shit?” Kota yelled. “I can’t concentrate with you bickering like this.”

“Wouldn’t you know by now if you’re able to bring it down?” Juda asked her, assuming it was okay to address her since she’d spoken to us first.
