Chapter Thirteen

Jude Devoe picked at her cuticles while she waited in the secure bubble of protection Lahn had cast around them. They were invisible to anyone who wasn’t a wizard, a group of people who were few and far between in Ohio for some reason. Across the street and down two blocks was a vampire club called Fang, owned and operated by the master of the coven—Mishka. The Cleveland coven was the largest in the Midwest, and the male appeared to be not only brutally hot but a fierce leader capable of drawing strong and equally fierce people into his ranks. Like the thousand-year-old assassin or the fallen angel.

“Wonder what’s going on there?” Jude asked as a trio of black SUVs, which were known to be used by the coven to transport their people, drove to the apartment complex across from the club, turned sharply, and headed back to what she assumed an underground parking garage.

Lahn watched the SUVs and then said, “Maybe they’ve got a new mate in the coven.”

“Bad time to join Mishka’s people,” she mused. It would be hell on earth to be the focus of Jason Finnegan’s wrath. The male was as unbalanced as they came. She didn’t trust him as far as she could throw him, and she hated that her brother had aligned himself to him.

And her as well.

Of course, she could’ve told Lahn he was on his own this time. She’d taken one look at Sean—Jason’s equally crazy brother—and wanted to run far, far away. She wasn’t one to back down from a battle, and she’d gotten into plenty of scuffles in her time because of her inability to shift, but Sean and Jason together made her feel like she was standing at death’s door and about to push the buzzer.

She realized Lahn was typing on his cell.

“What are you doing?”

“Texting Jason that he can get new intel for some more cash.”

“You don’t need any more money.”

“I could always use more, Jay. There’s an artifact called the Witch’s Eye that’s supposed to grant the holder the ability to read people’s minds. I have a lead on someone who’s seen it in a museum. The dumb humans who have it don’t even know what it is or what it’s worth. I need a crap-ton of cash to hire a crew to steal it for me.”

That was the problem with her brother. He was always on the lookout for more power. He’d tapped into dark magic ages ago, and it had infected his soul, skewing his mind so that he craved more like a drug addict. That was the problem with dark magic. There were no helpful warning labels.

Careful! Too much dark magic can make you buckass crazy.

“Score!” Lahn gave a little fist pump. “He just wired me ten grand for the information.”

“What information?”

“That there’s a new mate in the coven.”

“We don’t know that for sure.”

He shrugged one shoulder. “That’s for him to suss out. I’m ten grand closer to my goal. Unless, of course, you want to help me break into the museum.
