Chapter 17

“Is that?”

“Da.”

“But…”

“It means we have bigger issues than two tears,” Olezka confirmed.

I couldn’t stop blinking at the sight before me. My mind wanted to reject what it was seeing even though I knew what I was looking at was entirely possible. Well, not possible here. But in the Veil, anything was possible. But for that incredible beast to be in this realm? Yikes.

“You mean like, how do we herd such a creature back to the gate, or do you mean how to best cook it?” Effie asked with a smirk.

I gasped and slapped his arm. He gave a fang-filled smile.

After riding with us back to his apartment complex, we walked the rest of the way to where Effie claimed he’d seen the creature step out of a tear and into our world. It took a bit of time for Olezka to track it since it didn’t stay put, but we finally found the creature. Olezka called in another guard to watch over the tear until we could return to better inspect it.

“That is so wrong!” I hissed.

“Oh, is that how they make sparkly glue?” Effie said, thoroughly enjoying himself by torturing me with horrible images.

“Shut up!” I snapped, glaring at him.

“Quiet. Both of you,” Olezka said, sounding exhausted.

I felt bad, so I did as I was told without complaint. Also because our problems had just tripled. Now we had three known, unauthorized, unstable gates. We needed to find out what was causing them to open and how Key was opening them. And hopefully, Tess would find a way to close them.

Olezka ran a hand through his hair as he stared at the creature ahead of us. The silver-maned Clydesdale on steroids with pure white fur and a massive protruding weapon coming from its forehead lifted its long, strong neck to steal some leaves from a cedar tree.

“It’s a unicorn, right?”

“Da, and not. It is not like the fairy tale creatures humans made up. We need to capture it and return it to the Veil immediately. If Timur was here, we could herd it back. Unfortunately, there are very few things that creature fears.”

I could understand why. I mean, it had a freakin’ sword coming out of its head. The horn that protruded from its head didn’t look like any description of a unicorn I’d ever seen. It looked razor-sharp, thinner than I expected, and a lot longer, too.

“Send Sixx out there. They like virgins, don’t they?” Effie taunted. My cheeks flared from anger, and I practically threw myself at him to attack, but Olezka wrapped his arm around my waist.

“Stop,” Olezka growled, his eyes flashing. I stilled and leaned against my mate, breathing in and out. Effie annoyed the heck out of me, but the rage I felt toward him seemed different, more heightened and out of control. “You must try to remain calm. That is a Dark Court unicorn. They draw out their prey by forcing them into the open.”

“Wait, did you just say prey?” I asked, swallowing hard, staring with even wider eyes at the unicorn.
