CHAPTER SIXTEEN

I blinked, then sped through the night in a blur of speed that rivaled any vampire. I wouldn’t put it past those assholes to try and capture me again just for breathing, so I wanted to put as much space between us as possible. Well, outside of leaving the city. That sure as hell wasn’t happening. I could’ve laughed at the irony. Two days ago I was dying to get out of here. Now that someone told me I wasn’t welcome anymore? Well, they could go fuck themselves.

A few miles later, I stopped into an elven coffee shop and called Quinn.

“Zy, where are you?!”

“The Fat Fox down on Earlsfort. We’ll talk when you get here.”

An overly-caffeinated perky blonde elf stopped to take my order. “I could really use a few shots of liquor right now, but if coffee’s all you have, what’s my best bet?”

She nodded, gazing at me with huge rosebud-colored eyes. “I have a blend from the Azoles that’ll really knock your socks off. The coffee beans are farmed by the Kelpies there, roasted by phoenix flame, and brewed with special toadstools.” She winked at me on this last part.

“Sounds stellar. Let’s do it.”

She grinned and skipped off to make my drink.

Sooner than I would have thought, my entourage arrived. Including the kid, meaning they must have found him. Quinn and Riley took turns hugging me, Donovan adding a kiss that made me ten degrees warmer. Scorch just gave me a sharp nod, jerking his Mohawk skyward.

“Why’d they keep you so much longer than the rest of us?” Riley asked.

“Did you find anything out?” Quinn added.

“I’m Zyan Star,” I scoffed, answering Riley’s question. “As for what I know: Michael is a giant douchebag, I’m no longer a special agent of the HR, I’m not supposed to see Eli again, and I’m not “allowed”—” I made air quotes above the table “—to look into the whereabouts of my sister and Alexander.”

“I’m sure you were given the final warning line, too,” Donovan said.

“Oh yeah, forgot that part. And it’s strongly recommended I leave Dublin at once.” I rolled my eyes. “They are now monitoring my activity to make sure I behave.”

“I can take care of at least part of that,” Quinn said. “I’ve already placed spells on the rest of us that block tracking devices.” She sent a quick pulse of magic at me, which tingled like moth wings against my skin. “You can’t be followed now, or your phone traced,” she said with a smug smile.

“What about you, kid?” I asked Scorch. “Where’d you get off to after the angels took us?”

“I was around,” he said noncommittally, playing with the sugar packets on the table as if bored out of his mind. “I know a couple people in Dublin.”

The waitress came back with my drink and the others placed their own orders. I took a tentative sip. It felt like drinking pure energy, a roller coaster and a lightning storm wrapped in a velvety cocoa finish. “Wow.”

“Told you.” The waitress grinned and bounced off.
