Dmitri didn’t get a chance to break into Wilcox’s place that morning. He was sidetracked by an irate vampire.

He had emailed Alec Broussard before he set out, never expecting the vamp to get in touch less than a minute later.

“Where is it?” Alec asked, almost yelling.

“Hey.” Dmitri held the phone away from his ear. “Sensitive hearing here. Can you watch the volume?”

“Sorry. But I need it back. It’s extremely dangerous.”

Dmitri set down his bag, taking a seat on the bed. “Back? Is it yours? And it’s a necklace. How dangerous can it be?”

“It’s not a necklace. Well, it’s supposed to go around the neck, but that thing is not an adornment. It was stolen a few months ago from the Elemental archive, along with several other items.”

“Fuck,” Dmitri muttered. As if this couldn’t get any worse, here was proof it could.

There were only four Elementals working at any given time—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Four were more than enough, though. The bad-ass female warriors kept the supernatural world in order, making sure the populace maintained their Covenant with Mother Nature. The latter was basically the ten commandments for the magically inclined.

Dmitri heard rumors about a dangerous Elemental artifact ending up in a shifter pack earlier in the year. The idea that more than one was out in the world was enough to make him want to update his will.

“So it’s a weapon, like that staff that caused so much trouble in the Maitland pack not too long ago? The one that killed one of their enforcers?” Dmitri was a lone wolf, but he was on good terms with the Maitland clan and he’d heard about their dilemma.

“No. It’s worse. That collar was confiscated from the Delavordo family.”

Double fuck.

Witch lines rose and died out with regularity, just like shifter ones, but seven families had stood the test of time, founding dynasties that survived to this day. The Delavordos were the worst of the lot, yielding some of the most notorious black witches the world had ever seen.

If this collar was theirs, it was evil.

“Can you cut to the chase? What does this thing do? I’m burning daylight here.”

If Wilcox was at work, these were precious hours Dmitri could be spending casing his place.

“So, you don’t have it yet?” Alec asked.

“Not yet, but I will soon.”

“I take it you were hired to find it.”

Unlike his mate, Alec knew his true profession. He’d even hired him a few times. “I was. But the first person I was supposed to acquire it from was dead and the item was gone.”

“Who was it?”

“Genevieve Burgess.”

“Damn it, Dmitri. Why didn’t you tell me about this earlier!”

“Hey, I can’t run all my jobs past you on the off chance it involves a witch or Elemental business. I certainly didn’t expect it on this one. The man who hired me is human.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes,” he hissed indignantly. “And how dare you insult my sense of smell.”

Alec snorted. “Could he be a practitioner in disguise? Maybe he’s masking himself.”

“Not a chance.
