Chapter Thirty

Tennessee

The others gasped and sank to their knees around her.

“Oh my, Goddess,” Henley breathed. “You’ve been Marked.”

We all just stared. I couldn’t believe it. Saffie was now a Card. She was over three hundred years old and now she was one of us. I couldn’t wait to tell Myrtle, she was going to be so proud. Once we broke this curse, Saffie would definitely come with us to Eden. She wouldn’t have to be alone anymore.

“Saffie?” Emersyn moved closer and ran her hand through Saffie’s hair. “This is a wonderful thing—”

“BUT PAULINA!” Saffie cried and shook her head.

Em’s face fell. “Oh, no. Saffie, Paulina is alive. It’s a long story but she had to give away her Mark, she’s perfectly fine.”

“Yeah, she’s in Eden with the rest of The Coven now.” Royce ducked down and smiled. “She’s with Braison, she’s okay.”

Deacon frowned. “Saffie…why are you feeling so…scared? What’s wrong?”

“She thinks the Fae will come for her,” Henley whispered.

Saffie wiped her eyes but her fingers were trembling. “They know. That’s why their army came for me. Prince Thorne…Princess Sage…they’ll come for me. Like they did before…”

My heart broke a little. “When they cursed you.”

She nodded.

I swallowed through the lump in my throat. “We can protect you, Saffie—”

“HOW?” She waved her arms around. “I’m here, where they cursed me before and—”

“We came here tonight to break the curse,” Tegan said in a calm voice. “That’s why we’re here. Even before we knew you were Marked.”

She blinked those big lavender eyes of hers and looked around at us for the first time. “It’s just you guys, not everyone else…”

Cooper, who’d silent since we found her, reached out and squeezed her hand. “We’re the reason you were cursed, Saffie. We’re going to be the ones to set you free.”

“Free?” She repeated, like she didn’t know what the word meant.

“Yes, free. We were going to bring you home to Eden with us anyway.” Royce pointed to her Mark. “Now that’s where you truly belong.”

“We can protect you.” I shook my head. “If they come for you this time, we’ll be there with you.”

Saffie smiled up at me then looked down to my ring on her finger. Then she looked up to Tegan. “You can really break my curse?”

“Yes, she can.”

We all gasped and spun around.

Keltie stood right behind us. Even I didn’t hear her approach.

“Keltie,” Saffie breathed.

Keltie glided forward then crouched down in front of Saffie. I frowned and glanced back and forth between them. They looked alike. I didn’t know how I hadn’t seen that before. They had the same red curly hair and lavender eyes. Keltie even had Fae-like features. I blinked then looked over Keltie’s shoulder to Tegan.

Tegan shrugged. Yeah, I see it, too. I saw it before. There’s some kind of connection here but I have no idea what it is. And I know Keltie won’t tell me. At least not yet.

I nodded. That was how Keltie, Leyka, and Myrtle all functioned. Saffie, too, as a matter of fact. It was a need-to-know ordeal.
