“What do you mean, they’re crumbling?” My voice rises in pitch while my pulse quickens. Without the Knights, there’s no hope for us.

“I don’t know the details, but Gunther Silverstone told us to cease distribution of lightning-glass weapons until further notice. We had to change the locations of our factories in the middle of the night, and we all got new burner phones.”

“What about this place? Who knows about it?” Bryce asks.

“Only members of the church, Xavier, and the Silverstone family.”

“They had a mole, but he told me they had eliminated that threat.” Morpheus begins to pace, troubled. “Why is he taking those extra precautions?”

“Do you think they had another leak? Andromeda?” I ask. He told me she’s a double agent, but what if she’s playing both sides?

He shakes his head. “No, it’s definitely not her.”

“If the Knights had a spy in their midst, what guarantee do you have that you also don’t have traitors in your church?” Rufio asks Ophelia, not hiding his aggressive stance.

She arches her eyebrows, glancing at him with round eyes. “Our members are devoted to Magia. They’d never betray her.”

My heart feels heavy, consumed with worry. I wish I could believe her words, but I’ve learned that betrayal can come from where you least expect it. Also, her declaration that we must remain here for an undetermined amount of time doesn’t sit well with me. I didn’t evade being used by Jodie Fallon only to fall under these people’s control.

“Daisy!” Rosie bursts through the door, followed by Toby. “Where have you been?”

“I couldn’t sleep, so I met up with the guys and we decided to come here in search of food.”

Her face becomes flushed as her embarrassment takes over. “Oh, I got worried.”

I’m annoyed with my sister for saying whatever she felt like in front of strangers, but I’ll deal with her later.

Ophelia rises from the table. “I’d better leave you kids to eat in peace and see if Harry and Artex have everything they need. We’re expecting a big turnout later today.”

“Wait, more people are coming here?” Phoenix raises his eyebrows.

“Oh yeah. Harry sent word that we need more workers mining the cave.”

“Is it wise to draw so much attention to this place?” Bryce asks. “Someone might be followed.”

“Oh, have faith, young man. The power of Magia is on our side.”

She leaves the cabin with a bounce in her step and not a hint of concern. I wait until I know for sure she’s not within earshot before I speak. “We can’t stay here.”

“Oh, I’m glad you think so too,” Rufio replies. “These people are nuts and completely out of touch with reality.”

“It’s extremely concerning that they’re not even considering the possibility they might have a mole.” Morpheus rubs his chin, staring out the open door.

The sky is no longer pitch black, which means we have to make a decision quickly before people start arriving.

“If it makes you feel any better, Xavier doesn’t completely trust them either,” Toby says.

“Dude, of course it doesn’t make us feel better.
