It was easy to distract myself from thoughts of Thorsten as Atticus and I visited every wooded park in Denver during the daytime, searching for any rings of mushrooms that Petra could use to open portals soon. Whenever we found one, we stomped out the mushrooms, and thus, destroyed the ring.

Despite our progress, I worried. Petra would avoid the built-up parts of the city thanks to the iron, but the surrounding mountains and wilderness was another story. We couldn’t search every inch of the forest for mushroom rings. There simply wasn’t enough time.

“Who’s searching the mountains?” I asked Atticus as we stopped for our lunch break. Atticus ordered us both super grain salads and ate them in the sedan to stay out of sight. Even though we were both wearing hats to hide our pointy ears, we couldn’t be too careful.

“The vampires, mainly.” Atticus chewed on a bite of quinoa and winced. Being inside cars for a long time seemed to bother him even though he wasn’t in direct contact with the iron. I wished I had my driver’s license and could at least help him with the driving.

“Their sense of smell will be of great help,” Atticus continued. “However, they have a lot of territory to cover, and if Petra is smart, she will stick to the city at night and the wilderness during the day.”

What if our combined efforts weren’t be enough to find her in time? At least, the vamps were scared of retaliation from the Summer Court, too. I finished my salad as Atticus started the car, blinked sleep from his eyes, and drove us toward the other side of town where there were a few more parks we had to visit. I realized we were driving past my old neighborhood, and an odd surge of homesickness washed over me as I eyed my apartment complex. Was Mom still there? I hoped not. I hoped she had gotten out. Was my old home the first place the vamps had searched after my escape? Probably. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had eyes and ears on it, in case I decided to return, which was a very stupid idea. I had no business missing Mom or our past. That part of my life was done when she’d sold me out.

A few streets later, I spotted a tall, blonde female walking down an alley. I jolted, thinking it was Petra, but there were a lot of blond women in Denver.

“Back up,” I told Atticus. “I just saw someone who looks like Petra.”

He made a U-turn and followed my directions to the alley, but the blond woman was gone. “It’s unlikely Petra would hang out around this area of town,” Atticus said.

I nodded. She had no reason to visit this run-down part of town unless…The Summer Court killed the women Olwen was with and their offspring. As a former teacher at Nocturnal Academy, Petra would’ve had access to my records and personal information.

Panic surged into my chest. “I’m calling Olwen.
