Chapter 27

Sudden Death

Wade’s soul reaches for me. “Autumn—did she hurt you? Are you okay?” His eyes are deep pools of concern as he places his ethereal hand against my cheek. The coolness of it seeps into my skin, making me shiver.

I shake my head. “No, I’m all right.”

“Good,” he exhales softly, lowering his eyebrows. “How do we stop her? There has to be a way…”

“I don’t know…” I whisper, blinking back tears as I watch his body walk away without him.

Despair washes over me and tears brim in my lids.

Suddenly, dark clouds billow into the circular room, drawing all the energy from the torches and dimming the space. Wade’s dad steps out of the black, billowy vortex, getting right between his son’s hijacked body and the way out.

“Oh, shit,” Wade’s spirit curses.

His father doesn’t say a word to the Fetch, but the impact is immediate. Without a doubt, Cat’s doppelgänger knows this means trouble.

Wade’s body screeches to a halt, cowering and stumbling a few steps back with the book pulled in tightly. “No—no, no, no…”

As if somehow able to grow in size, Wade’s dad towers over his son’s body as he steps forward, extending a hand out in front of him, still in utter silence. His silver eyes flash and his nostrils flare as he waits for the Fetch to do as his suggestion requires.

Instead, the Fetch backs away, clutching the grimoire tighter. “No, no, I need it.”

“Do not defy me, child,” Wade’s father says, his voice thundering through the space with an air of authority that makes my blood run cold.

“You don’t understand, though.”

Wade’s dad rolls his eyes, and with the flick of his wrist, the book flies out of Wade’s grip, landing softly in his father’s arms. Wade’s shoulders drop and the Fetch immediately drops to the floor, kneeling.

“I’m sorry, so, so sorry… Please,” the Fetch murmurs, groveling at his feet.

I narrow my gaze, completely baffled.

What on earth is his dad?

What other powers could he possibly possess that would make the Fetch cower under his presence this way?

“Please—you have to understand. I only wanted what should be rightfully mine,” Wade’s voice quivers as the Fetch tries to reason.

Beside me, Wade’s spirit shakes his head, covering his mouth with his hand. “That won’t go down well.”

“Of all the beings to displace, you chose very poorly,” Wade’s dad says, extending the arm with the grimoire in it. It floats from his hand, landing softly on the pedestal in the middle of the room. As it makes its way to its rightful place, the pedestal vanishes into the floor.

Whatever power it possesses is evidently not an allure for him.

The Fetch stands, looking longingly at it, but turns back to Wade’s dad. “It wasn’t about this body. I just—I needed to do something to stop the necromancer. Surely you can understand. She has the power to ruin everything. Please. Please just help me.”

Wade’s dad takes another ominous step forward. The room vibrates with immense power, radiating from him in waves. In an
