Chapter Forty-Three

Silas

Adrian steps back into the kitchen, brushing silver glitter off his shoulder. I raise an eyebrow at him as he gets the gawdy oversized Christmas mugs out of the cupboard, the ones we bought when we realized how much Rachel loves this holiday, along with most of the other decorations we now have.

“Who was at the door?” I ask.

“Problem number two,” Adrian says, sighing as he puts the mugs down and goes to the fridge.

From his tone, I’m picturing Danny, but that might be a little biased.

“Please tell me Danny didn’t get possessed again,” I say.

He gets the milk out and sets the bottle down on the counter near the mugs.

“I wish,” he says. “Rachel’s mother called the other day, which should have been our tip off. Paul’s parents just showed up looking for him.”

I drop the dishtowel. “Sorry, what?”

“Rachel’s a little shaken, but she dealt with it pretty well. She spelled me to look like him. I sounded like him, too. Then, she told them he’d become a shifter and he was never going to come home.”

“Holy … That’s actually a great plan. I mean, if they went for it. It could work.”

Kind of depends how prejudiced they are against shifters, I guess.

They’re from a witch town, so chances are they despise our kind.

If they get over that, they could come back.

“It’s not without its risks, but it’s better than giving them the truth.”

It’s easier, he means. If they know Paul’s dead, well that’s where things could get messy. We’re covered by pack law and if we’d called the Witches Council when it happened that would have started a process that would have let us walk away without repercussion. It was clear that the guy was Dark Arts, and that he’d tried to kill Rachel. She would have died if Adrian hadn’t bitten her.

Now? There’s no evidence left. We got rid of Paul’s body. His car.

Rachel doesn’t have a mark left on her from his attack.

And the spirits out in those woods moved on when we helped them after. I don’t remember their names to call on them, even if they were still lingering on the other side of the veil.

We only have our word, and we’ve already started lying.

This is a bigger problem than not being able to call on Sara.

“I wish we’d done things differently when it happened,” I admit.

“The past is past,” Adrian tells me. “I don’t think they’ll be back. We’ll work on a plan so we can be prepared if they show up here again.”

Right. He’s right.

We can’t get stuck on the things we can’t change.

We need to concentrate on moving forward.

I nod. “Later?”

“Later. Carter and Rachel are watching their movie now. If you roast the peanuts, I’ll make the cocoa. We can figure out the plan in the morning. I don’t want it to ruin the night. Rachel was upset after they left …”

“She’s upset? Why didn’t you …”

“She’s okay now. Carter did that Omega thing with his hands, and she calmed down.
