I was clear to go back to Rachel as soon as I’d passed Saydra’s sweep. I left the witch in the interrogation room. There was nothing else I wanted to say to her. Outside I found Commander Davian waiting for me in the hallway. He passed me a black gown, I put it on, and we started walking in silence.

“How was it?” he asked, a fresh cigar burning away in his mouth.

“Like two weeks in Fiji, how do you think?”

He laughed slightly. “The higherups didn’t give me any choice, I told them you’d pass.”

“Where’s the girl?”

“In the guest wing of the chapter. I expect she’s asleep by now. What did Saydra say?”

“The same cryptic bullshit she usually says,” I scowled. “She might need help getting out of there, I think it was harder on her than me.”

We turned onto the main corridor which lead back to our chapter. “She’ll be fine,” Davian growled. “She does this shit several times a year. I’ll put the whole unit on this moving forward. You get all the resources and backup you need. No questions asked.”

“No,” I shook my head. “Saydra made it pretty clear that I’ve got to tackle this on my own. Any other arrangement will fuck things up.”

“Hunter listen,” Davian said as he came to a stop. I already knew what was coming next. “Is this like last time? Do you need to go and see her again?”

The her he was referring to was Nalinth, Saydra’s dark sister and Davian’s ex-lover.

“She was the only one that could help us last time, I suspect nothing has changed.”

“You’ve done this once before,” he said. “Don’t you know how to use the amulet by now?”

“Lauriel was the keeper last time, not me,” I reminded him. “I was just there to help keep her alive, and I failed.”

“That was Trey’s fault, not yours.”

“I guess we remember it differently.”

“Let me go with you,” he said. “To Nalinth. I can talk sense into her, make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid.”

“She’s not the same woman you fell in love with Davian. You’d still be together if that much was true. Coming with us is only going to get you killed and we both know it.”

“She listens to me. I can get through to her, I can keep you safe.”

“With all due respect, shove it up your ass, sir. You’re better off staying here and we both know it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and collapse in a bed next to my mate, I’m hanging on by a thread here.”

I left Davian in the hallway and made my way back to the chapter. When I got there, I headed straight for the guest wing and knocked on the occupied room. A few seconds passed before the door slid open to reveal Rachel.

“Hunter?!” she gasped, jumping forward to throw her arms around me. It was the best welcome I’d ever received, though the pain in my body made it hard to catch her.

“I knew you’d miss me,” I winced.
