CHAPTER ELEVEN

Linne

“Hey, come in. I’m just setting up. How are you feeling today?” Melinda’s cheerful voice brought a small smile to my face, and heat rushed to my cheeks. Stepping into her home, I folded my wings carefully against my back and licked my lips heavily before answering.

“I am very well. I am happy that these nightmares will end.” Excitement bubbled up in my chest, and Melinda smiled over her shoulder at me as we entered her living room. “What have you found out since we last met?”

“Some good things, surprisingly. I did some more research on this spell I’ll be casting on you, and I discovered that I can cast it on both of you at the same time, which is nice.” Relief surged through me, and my shoulders slumped dramatically as Derek wrapped his arm around my waist. Twisting around to face us, Melinda’s smile grew wider before she continued speaking. “I am also fairly positive that because you’re Unseelie, and with your particular abilities, you should be able to travel the threads, to the witch giving you the nightmares without her knowing. Otherwise if she finds out what’s happening, she might have time to run and disappear. If that happens, all our efforts will have solved nothing.”

“But you still do not know how the nightmares are happening in the first place?” Seating myself on the longer of the two sofas, I frowned deeply when Melinda shook her head. Her coffee table was littered with stuff I couldn’t even recognize, and Derek sighed loudly, irritation rolling off his shoulders in thick waves.

“How do you know this’ll work if you don’t know what’s causing the nightmares? I thought that you have to put something on someone to cast a spell on them.” Gruff, strung on anxiety, Derek’s skepticism didn’t perturb Melinda at all, and she perched herself on the loveseat with a slight nod.

“That’s true for humans and shifters, but not for other witches. Linne is literally made of magic – at least, her wings are. A witch doesn’t need to have a connection to another witch to cast a spell. I don’t even need you to be here, as long as I can recognize your magical signature – I just thought it’d be safer.”

“Then… how did someone obtain my magic sign?” Confusion laced my voice, and my mind raced through every single thing I had done since being banished to this realm. I had never met a witch before Melinda, and I only rarely used my abilities on anyone that wasn’t human. Staring blankly at the coffee table, my eyes narrowed, and my frown twisted into a grimace. “Do you think it would have to do with the wolves I had destroyed? That woman Alpha’s brother had escaped.”

“Maybe… I don’t think that little cunt is smart enough to figure out what happened, though. There’s a reason his sister was Alpha.” My only response was a soft ‘oh’, and Derek palmed my lower back as he leaned against the couch cushions with a gruff groan.
