Chapter Seven

Woodhurst was aptly named. There was a lot of forest around the town. I didn’t spend a lot of time in them but there were parks that weren’t too hard to reach on foot and the movement felt good after so long locked up in that tiny room. The air between the boughs was gold with the light that trickled through, thick and living. The trails smelled of pine and were cheerfully at odds with my own morose mood.

I walked the trails deep into the park until I found a small clearing with a pair of picnic tables. One of them was dilapidated and caved in on itself but the other was still in decent condition. This place must have been meant as a destination spot in the trails and hadn’t worked out. Clearly nobody had been here in a long time.

A gentle breeze swept through the clearing, brushing over my sweat soaked shirt and skin. If I’d been in my right mind, I would have said it was way too hot to be out here, which was probably why the trails had been deserted. The breeze felt good.

I sat at the still functioning table and pulled out the envelope. I stared at it. The torn paper seemed to stare back at me. I should have been the one to open it. My hands shook. My mouth went dry. Whatever was in here had been enough to convince Officer Jenkins to believe I would kidnap my own sister. I tried to swallow and couldn’t. My mouth was too dry.

Fuck it. I’d wanted to know this for so long. One asshole’s opinion wouldn’t change anything. I yanked out the report and read it. A big portion was given over to a table of allele sizes, whatever the fuck an allele was. The table correlated with a number of terms that were both scientific and arcane and meant next to jack to me. The real meat of it, the part that I could understand, was written in a section titled “Interpretation” at the bottom beneath the table.

I don’t know how long I stared at it before I sensed Scarlett and Absinthe approaching.

“We’ve gotten better at locating you,” Scarlett said. “It was actually easier to find you here than when you were camping out in that shed.”

The shed. It was hard to believe that just that morning I’d lived the dream most guys never got to fulfil with these two gorgeous women. I looked from them to the paper and then back. If what was on it was true, then there was no way that anything I’d done to them was in some way good. The memory of our lovemaking was tainted. I had poisoned their minds with my magic and bound them to me, stealing their free will. This was not a new debate for me, I’d argued with myself about it ever since I’d first bound Scarlett. Now I knew the source of my magic and knew for a certainty where it fell on the morality spectrum.
