Chapter Fifteen

“No.” Beau crossed his arms and glared at his brother.

“We have to—“

“I said no. You didn’t see her, John Luke. She was terrified and I mean, white as a ghost, shaking and looking at me like I was a monster.”

“Which is why we need to make her see that we’re not monsters,” Ily argued in a gentle tone.

“Don’t do that.” Beau’s tone was cross. “Don’t try and get inside my head. I’m telling you both to leave Grace alone. Please. I did enough damage letting her see me shift.”

He groaned and turned his back on John Luke and Ily to stare out of the window of the family home. Even now he could see Grace’s face, the horror on it. Horror. That’s what she felt when she looked at him.

He’d lost her because of what he was.

“You haven’t lost her.” Ily argued and held up both hands in a placating manner when he turned toward her. “Just hear me out. We all know the kind of shock that goes with finding out you’re not like everyone else. That you’re a Scythe like me or in your case, one of the Kindred, a hybrid breed of Human and Seven. It’s difficult. It’s the same for her. She needs time to process it, yes, but she also needs to see that we’re—that you’re not a monster. That you’re still the same man.”

“She won’t let me within a hundred feet of her. Seriously,” he added when she gave him a skeptical look. “The other day I was walking by her shop on my way to the barber and she was coming out of the door. When she saw me, she bolted back inside, slammed the door, and pulled the shade.”

“Then maybe she needs reassurance from someone other than you,” Sabine suggested.

“Like who?”

“Like me,” Ily said. “Or me and Sabine? Sabine’s a mother now. Maybe if Grace saw her and Lilyann and got to know them, and me, maybe then she wouldn’t react so negatively. Maybe she’d see that we’re like her—just different races of humanoid, kind of like being a different nationality or religion.”

Beau looked over at Sabine, sitting on the couch beside Logan who was holding their daughter Lilyann. “Do you really think that’s going to work?” He directed the question to Logan.

“I don’t know. What I do know is that we have to do something. And fast.”

“Why?”

Logan looked over at Ily and she answered. “According to Severin and Darius, the cloaking spell has weakened to the point that a Daemon or Wizard level four or above can discern it. Our enemies have many that level or higher, so we need to do something to get the spell reinforced, and we need the complete spell to do it. Not to mention what’s happening with the Weres. And in case no one told you, there are now three Shifters affected.”

Beau said something he’d been thinking for a while and had kept quiet about to avoid argument. “I don’t want to start a
