Chapter Seventeen

Gabe

What do you mean you can’t find her?” I asked, frustrated, gripping the edge of the coffee table. It’d only been twenty-four hours, but we needed to get going on this.

Dylan threw his hands up. “I warned you this wouldn’t be easy. She’s done something to protect herself from being found. But at least we are all still alive.”

I stalked up to him. “This is ridiculous. You should be able to find her.”

He shoved me away. “You don’t know what you’re talking about. Liv’s grandmother is a powerful goddess and has taken steps to ensure that no one can track her. There is nothing else I can do.”

A cackle sounded from behind us. I spun around. Bea stood there, arms crossed. “Seriously, you three thought you could find me?”

Ali’s eyes widened. Melissa wasn’t here. He couldn’t protect himself.

He stood. “Bea, it’s good to see you. Would you like something to drink? Melissa is in the kitchen and makes the best tea around.”

Bea stared at him for a second. Then she nodded. “I did not expect hospitality.”

“We just wanted to talk to you,” I said as Ali disappeared into the kitchen. He wouldn’t be returning. I offered Bea a chair, and she sat with a flourish.

“Why are you looking for me?” She grinned, like this was easy and she hadn’t been hiding out.

“It’s about Liv. She doesn’t remember me.”

“Of course she doesn’t, Gabriel. Do you really think I’d let my dear granddaughter continue a relationship with you? You have another thing coming if you think I’d condone such a thing.”

I kept my voice even, but it was hard to hide the anger. “That is not your choice. You had no right to take her memories. That wasn’t fair to her.”

“I bet she’s learning all kinds of horrible things up at that school. I’ve been told she’s making great progress.”

“Why did you take her memories anyway?” I tamped down my anger at her. I wanted to yell and scream, but I had to keep my temper in check if I had a prayer of her helping me.

Bea sighed. “Do you think they would’ve trained her if they knew she had a Jinn on a leash?”

“They would—”

“You’re lying,” Dylan interjected and glared at her.

Bea narrowed her eyes at him. “I always liked you until now.”

“How do you know she’s lying?” I asked.

“Because he’s a witch. A damn good one too.” She leaned forward and tapped a finger on her chin. She was acting like this was some big joke. “You want the truth?”

“Yes,” I said.

“Fine. I took her memories to protect myself. The goddesses cannot find her connection to me, or a millennia of avoidance will go away. I am in more danger from the goddesses than you are. And yet, a few goddesses remain loyal to me, so I know how my granddaughter is being treated. She’s very talented, but then of course she would be. I would’ve been very disappointed otherwise. Do you know she caught a Jinn already?”

“She’s done it before.
