Mason reached across Cari to rifle through the glove compartment. Not his car, so he didn’t know what he’d find. Happened on a pack of tissues. He handed the lot to Cari. “Here.”

Her nose was bleeding again, and the princess hadn’t even noticed.

She took the tissues and dabbed. “I did better that time.”

“Better than what?” Every time she tried something, the sense of heavy, absolute night overcame him. Shaking Blake House—spectacular, but completely unnecessary. And he was not even going to bring up what had happened in that bedroom of death, with Lorelei rotting on the bed, how Cari had . . . reached inside him somehow.

He needed to find out what this new power was, and she did too. No one should have that much magic. No one. Once, even a week ago, he might have said that he trusted her with it, but now that he’d witnessed its hold again, he knew that not even Cari Dolan could manage it. This was danger the likes of which he’d never experienced before, and he’d seen some damn scary things.

“I did better than last time, at Vauclain House.”

Mason glared at her incredulously, then shifted gear. Cari had been just as overtaken as she had before. That she could be articulate now was a miracle—her eyes were full black, drugged with magic. Her skin gleamed fae. Her beauty had become fierce, harsh . . . frightening. She couldn’t afford to be oblivious. It was against her true nature, and she had a House to sustain.

“You’re getting worse.” He gripped the steering wheel. He wasn’t going to soft-pedal this. She needed to know. “You’re out of control.”

“I beg to differ.” The princess Dolan thing. “I’m exactly as I should be.”

“In fact,” Mason added, “I don’t think control is even possible. If it were, you’d be the one to manage it. And you can’t.”

“Well, we’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we?” A sharp smile, from a sharp woman.

But because he’d been her friend once, he was not going to leave it at that. “We’re going to Segue now. Get you some answers. They can’t wait any longer.” He redlined the car in each gear until the speedometer needle shook.

“Segue has no wards.”

“Doesn’t sound like you think you need them anymore.” She’d been the one who’d wanted to speak to Khan. Where was that Cari?

“I’m not stupid. There’s a crazed angel out there.” She looked out the passenger window. Cold and stony. The bloody tissue was clutched in her hand.

“Segue has an angel or two if you are concerned,” Mason said. “And everyone there is fucking crazy, too.”
