“WE NEED ANOTHER ANCHOR,” Gypsy announced. “How about the house, Cass?”

“Nope. It’s spelled, remember? No magic inside of any kind.”

“Shit,” she cursed.

Autumn’s voice was close to Gypsy and matched the blur with red hair. “Agreed. We need a plan.”

“Anyone have an idea? Because I’m kind of flying blind here.” Okay, bad joke.

Gabe snorted next to me as I sensed his wolf ready to pounce with anxiety. “Not funny, little Raven. You’re becoming worse by the minute.”

I didn’t think that was an accurate statement. By the minute was a little extreme. Maybe by the hour?

The silence in my head punctuated Damian’s departure. I missed his snark and sarcastic comments. His constant voice in my mind had become second nature. The loss of it left a void that couldn’t be filled.

A hand reached for mine and squeezed. “You’ll be fine, Cassie. I can spirit walk with you once we’re in the fade. This vision problem won’t matter.”

Well, that’s a relief.

I sort of forgot how different the fade was in comparison to reality.

“What of the Demented?” Autumn asked.

“They aren’t the only problem,” Kane added.

Karter chimed in. “Soul Eaters are as much of a threat if not more.”

“We’ll deal with each threat as it comes. No point in worrying about it until then.”

I shot Sebastian a grateful look in the direction I heard his voice. He must be standing close to Gypsy.

“We still need an anchor. Gwen and Willow and the ancestors are powerful, but the distance is a problem. Since we’re here in Romania it makes sense that we have another human anchor with magic experience. Any volunteers?”

Kane and Karter both shouted enthusiastically.

“I’ll stay,” Kayde offered as my heart sank, “it’s probably best.”

Best? For who?

Gabriel’s loud growl echoed across the yard before I heard a loud thud.

“What’s happening?” I asked, practically screeching the words.

“Gabe tackled Kayde and they’re wrestling on the ground. I think the wolf can take him,” Sebastian remarked with a laugh. “Then again, Kayde is pretty decent at using anti-magic to force his opponent away.”

Another thud landed close to my feet and I jumped as something brushed against my leg. “It’s only me, sweetheart.” Gabriel let out a groan as I felt him rise and an arm circle my waist, tugging me close against his side. “You’re being an ass, Kayde. Knock off the bullshit. We discussed this before we left.”

“I’m not in your little Cosan, so fuck off, Gabriel.”

What? Since when?

“Excuse me?” I asked, my voice more emotional than I intended. “You’re not with us anymore?”

Not with me?

“I agreed to come to ensure Cassie regains the lost portion of her soul. The longer we linger, the more impossible that task will be.”

He completely ignored my question. Pissed, I reacted with magic.

“Silencia ingento imprisonte!”

Sometimes the best spells were spoken in the ancient language of my ancestors.

Kayde roared his displeasure as I stood my ground, facing him in fury as I felt him kneel at my feet. The spell automatically drew the intended subjects together and separated everyone else. “Release me from this spell before I accidentally hurt you, princess,” he replied, his own anger evident.
