CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

A Blessing and a Curse

If I intended to defeat the Raven Queen, there were preparations that needed to be made. Like it or not, I couldn’t rescue Imani yet. I now remembered enough of my past to not make the same mistakes twice.

I needed to ramp up my power. Vega and I recharged ourselves again that night. I was surprised when my husband accompanied us.

“I can’t let you ladies have all the fun,” he said in an indifferent monotone that gave away no indication whether he meant that as a joke or not.

I didn’t like Thatch leaving the household of children alone with Elric in his weakened state. Then again, Elric hadn’t seemed as fatigued. He’d stayed up later than usual. Could it be because I was pregnant? Was fulfilling my contract all it took to restore his magic? I tried not to dwell too deeply on the idea that I was carrying someone other than my husband’s baby. I could focus on domestic situations after I had defeated the Raven Queen.

Thatch instructed Vega, perhaps better than I could, on the proper method for sourcing electricity and places to go to avoid detection. He preferred unlit parking garages. Mostly I suspected they were unlit because of his doing.

Vega had already improved since her first outings with me. It wasn’t going to be long before she outdid me again. Soon she’d probably be shooting lightning out of her eyes. At me.

It had crossed my mind several times that it was time to tell Vega that I was with child. I didn’t know how she would react. I just needed to wait for the right moment. Unfortunately, there was never a good moment to provoke Vega’s wrath.
