When Jai returned from taking down the labartu, he’d been outraged to discover Ari had come up against Lilif without anyone there to protect her, and that when Red did turn up, Ari had put his life before hers.

Jai understood Ari had done the right thing, but hell … he’d told her not to go off alone. And did she listen? No. Stubborn didn’t even cover it. He’d barely had a chance to check her for injuries, to get the full story out of her, before the Red King showed up and warned them that Lilif was going after Charlie. His warning was quick as he had to return to his father and brothers, but from what Jai could make out, apparently Charlie had traces of Azazil’s power in his blood—like a signature. And Lilif was going to use that signature to draw Azazil to her.

Michael had just been asking how the hell Red knew this when the jinn king disappeared, throwing one last look of concern in Ari’s direction.

Blowing Jai’s mind with her utter strength and determination, Ari rose from her seat as though she wasn’t completely exhausted. “We have to take him and his family somewhere to protect them.”

Staring into her concerned and weary eyes, Jai wished they could be allowed a moment, just a moment, to take a breath before having to jump into the next disaster. Ari had just battled Lilif—not exactly a stroll in the park. “Ari, we’ll take care of it. You need to rest.”

She gave him a soft, sad smile. “Jai, there isn’t time to rest. This isn’t just about Charlie. Lilif may be targeting him, but there are other people affected by the change, most prominently Derek and Fallon, and Lilif might come after them if she can’t get to Charlie. If Fallon is a target, then the entire Roe Guild is.”

Understanding the magnitude of what Ari was saying, Jai turned with a heavy heart to Michael. The Guild Hunter had been nothing but supportive and loyal to them, and they’d brought him nothing but upheaval and danger. “Michael,” Jai shook his head, not even knowing where to start, “I’m sorry, but Ari’s right.”

Michael waved him off with an impatient grunt. “Don’t. I see the guilt in your eyes and I don’t like it. We are jinn, and we are hunters. We face danger every day. You didn’t bring this upon us, it was thrust upon us.”

Fallon, who’d been unusually quiet, suddenly sat up from her armchair, her cute nose wrinkled in consternation. “Would someone like to catch me up? I’m totally confused.”

Michael gave his daughter a tender but worried look. “The Guild needs to scatter to our safe houses.” He turned back to Jai. “We have them all over.”

Ari stepped toward their Guild leader. “I suggest we keep Fallon and Charlie together, which means Jai, Trey, and I will be with your family, Michael. Where’s your safe house?”

“Bridge of Allan. It’s a small village in Scotland.”

Ari raised an eyebrow and gave a half smile, affection warming in Jai’s eyes.
