CHAPTER TWELVE

“Murdered? You’ve got to be kidding me.” I started to pace, my nerves on edge. “You think Mills did it?”

“Who else? He must have gotten what he wanted out of her and decided she was disposable,” Rowan said. “I had my issues with her, but I certainly never wished this on her.”

A thought struck me. “Do you think Mills saw me taking a picture and thought she ratted him out? Was I responsible for her death?”

Rowan hesitated, then said, “I can’t be certain, but honestly? I doubt it. Don’t blame yourself. Mills has his own agenda, and that agenda is written by the Covenant of Chaos. Here’s the thing. Millie said that Daya was in a part of the Mystic Wood where the Covenant of Chaos practiced rituals to bring the old gods of chaos back to this realm. Millie thinks Daya was killed as part of a sacrifice. I’m heading out there. Do you feel up to meeting me there? The cops are there, obviously. But since you can speak to the dead…”

“I might be able to speak to Daya if her spirit’s around. I’ll come. Hank can drive. And he’s good out on the astral so he can protect me if need be.” The last thing I wanted to do was head out to the Mystic Wood, but this was serious. I was on the hit list, and no doubt so was Rowan. If Mills had killed Daya, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill us.

“I’ll text you the coordinates. See you in a bit.”

I hung up and turned back to Hank and Killian. “Hank, we need to head out. Daya Crombie was murdered in the Mystic Wood, and Rowan believes it was Mills McFarland from the Covenant of Chaos who did it. Can you come with me?”

Killian cleared his throat. “You’re not going anywhere without me.”

Worried, I frowned. “I hate to leave the house alone. What if he decides to target it?” I glanced over at Xi and Klaus. “Let me call Ari and ask her to keep an eye on it while she’s next door.” I called Ari and explained what was going on. She promised to check on Killian’s house from time to time while she was looking at the damage at my house. Satisfied, I grabbed my coat and jammed my feet into a pair of snow boots that would navigate the woodland easily enough.

“Hank, can you drive?” I asked. “My head’s still hurting.”

“And I was instructed not to drive at all until the doctor clears me tomorrow,” Killian said.

“I’ll drive, but I don’t think we can all fit comfortably in the front of my truck,” Hank said, holding up his keys. “I mean, we probably can fit but…”

“We’ll take my SUV. Here.” Killian tossed him the keys and Hank caught them midair. Once we were in the driveway, I stopped to get my portable magic kit from my car and tucked it in the back of Killian’s SUV. I rode shotgun and Killian rode in the back.
