Henry had forgotten about his promise to join Raven and Drake for drinks until he was leaving the Aldwin cottage and his personal cell started ringing.

“We’re at O’Malley’s. You better not stand us up again. I’ve had a hell of a day,” Raven told him by way of a greeting.

“I’m not standing you up,” he promised, even though he wanted nothing more than to return to his penthouse in the city and catch a few hours of shut-eye. The late afternoon sun had faded away into twilight, and while it wasn’t his usual time to sleep, the exhaustion of the last couple days had caught up with him.

Could I only have met Lane yesterday? I feel like I’ve known her forever.

Of course, that was always the way it was with mates.

“Good,” Raven said. “Hurry up. I’m hungry, too.”

“Then order some food,” Henry laughed. “What are you waiting for?”

“Your credit card,” Raven retorted. “How long are you going to be?”

“I’ll be there in forty-five.” He disconnected his Bluetooth and drove on, through rush hour traffic, into the heart of Manhattan.

He was uneasy about how simply Julia had given into his request, but he wasn’t sure that there was anything to worry about. Even though Julia was an Aldwin, she was hardly a practicing witch from what he knew about her. Then again, how much did he really know about her? The rest of the Council was going to have to help fill in the blanks for him.

Lane’s circumstances were strange, to say the least. The fact that she didn’t even have a cell phone of her own was a troubling matter. On a whim, he dialled out to the Council phone in Lane’s possession, eager to hear what the aftermath of his visit had done to Julia, but Lane didn’t answer.

Tomorrow, when she comes to the office, I’ll have her set up with her own phone, he thought. The sooner I release Julia’s hold on her, the better.

He wondered if he had his work cut out for him.
