Chapter Ten

“What’re you doing?” Jensen asked.

I tucked my necklace back into my shirt. Like Piper, I wore a necklace that was part distress beacon, part magical GPS device. I’d wandered to the window, whispering the spell to myself so softly that I didn’t think Jensen would hear.

“Nothing.”

Jensen snorted. “Sure. You’re a witch too, aren’t you?”

“I am not a witch!”

“You’re doing…wait for it…” He flared his hands dramatically. “Witchcraft.”

“I can use magic for good,” I said firmly. “And I’m still a wolf.”

“The witches all said they were using magic for good too,” he said, “and then they started enslaving wolves and killing kids.”

“No,” I said. “It’s not like that.”

“Power corrupts.” He shrugged. “You and your whole pack, you’re going to go darkside one of these days. Your own are going to end up hunting you down.”

“Really?” I leveled a finger at him. “You clearly don’t need magic to be an entitled asshole.”

In a second, he crossed the room to me and grabbed my finger, folding his hand around mine. The movement was quick and aggressive, but once his hand was on mine, he didn’t seem to know what to do next.

“You don’t know anything about my life,” he said. “Not a thing. So watch yourself.”

“You don’t know anything about me, but that hasn’t stopped you, has it?”

He released my hand, taking a step back. “I can see everything I need to know about you.”

“Like I said. Entitled asshole.”

His lips parted, but whatever he was going to say next was lost as someone knocked on the door. The two of us exchanged a look. He went quickly past me to the door and cracked it open to glance through, then stepped back.

My sister was in the hall. Her chin was trembling, and Arthur, Callum and Kai all flanked her expectantly.

Piper rushed forward and wrapped me in a tight hug. “Thank goodness,” she said into my hair.

I hugged her back awkwardly, keenly aware that Jensen was watching us with that same begging-for-a-slap smirk on his nicely-shaped lips. This little public display of emotion was out of character for Piper.

“She’s okay,” Kai told her, resting his hand on her shoulder. All of the guys seemed more protective of her than usual today. Maybe now that I was leaving home, all that overprotective energy had to be diffused somewhere.

I squeezed my sister tight, wondering what was going on with her, and then released her. I gestured expansively toward the unconscious witch Jensen had insisted on depositing onto the cold hardwood floor, not his bed.

“I brought you a witch,” I exclaimed, like it was some great gift.

Callum nodded and knelt next to the witch. “Alliges duplicia,” he murmured, pushing the witch’s wrists down against the hardwood floor. The witch’s fingers stiffened and then relaxed. Callum had bound the witch’s hands to the floor, keeping him there until we were done with him.

Arthur cast a quick, hurried glance at Jensen. I didn’t like the idea of Jensen knowing any of our secrets either.

I sat down on the edge of his bed.
