Chapter Thirty-Four

Maddie

“How are your magic lessons?” Winter asked.

He had pulled me away from the house for a walk. The two of us had wandered through the woods in companionable silence for the past few minutes.

“Good,” I said. Honestly, spells came more easily these past few days. I felt more powerful, as if most of my magic had been funneled into my wolf’s bright-eyed existence.

But I couldn’t even think that without feeling guilt wash over me, and then grief pulled me the rest of the way under the waves until it felt like I was drowning. I couldn’t stop seeing her face.

“I wanted to teach you something myself,” he said. “I wanted to teach you one of my secrets… something every witch in the coven of the Day would like to learn.”

“Why are you teaching it to me?” I asked.

“Because you’re my daughter.” He rested his hand on my shoulder. “And because I want to trade one secret for another.”

There it was.

“But it’s up to you,” he said, “if you’ll share your secrets with me. I’ll go first.”

He showed me the spell he used to open a rip through time and space, and his fingers tracing through the air cut a jagged hole through the air.

“I can open a rip anywhere,” he explained to me. “It lets me move through space. We can go anywhere we please.”

He sounded so proud, and then he added, “Come with me?”

He grinned at me, something boyish in his usually stern face, and even though dread tightened my stomach, I couldn’t help smiling back. He seemed so genuinely excited to share this with me.

The two of us stepped through the rip together. Cold washed over me, my head spinning dizzily, and then I was in a bright, green world. The land of the Fae, once again.

“I learned to control the rips from a friend of mine, Jonathan Truby,” he said, “before his daughter killed him.”

I stopped and turned to him, my eyes widening. Maybe he was going to leave me here.

“I’ve kept this magic to myself,” he said. “I worry that a witch who doesn’t have the power to close the rips again would fail to close the Door. There are always dangerous things that could come through the rips, and I’d hate to see my coven eaten for my trouble. But that’s not the sole reason that this has been my secret.”

“What is it?” I asked.

“My ability to control the rips is part of how I lead the coven,” he admitted. “It makes me indispensable.”

“They seem to love you anyway.” I disagreed. “When they aren’t all terrified of you.”

“Do you think you could come to love me, too?”

“I don’t know,” I admitted.

“You’re not terrified of me, either.” His eyes were bright. “You have so much power. Just as I’d expect from my daughter. You’re more than I dreamed you would be.”

“Given what happened to your friend, it seems like the good daughter bar is set pretty low.”

He laughed at that. “I know you might kill me, Maddie.
