Celeste looked at Julienne. âSo where are they?â
Julienneâs face drastically paled, and her eyes took on a bleak, haunted look. âIâm not sure I should tell.â
Celesteâs gaze shifted through the room. âHmm. Letâs see. I know you lifted the text, but where would your sneaking mind send it? It would have to be a place where you could get to them but others couldnât.â
Morgan nodded slowly. âThat is the way I usually think.â He drew in a deep steadying breath. His skin felt tight, suffocating. Suddenly, he was burning up. Swallowing past the knot in his throat, he slipped off his suit coat and unbuttoned his vest. A sharp pain zagged through his skull, causing him to grimace.
Celeste frowned. âReal genius move on your part, forgetting what you did.â
Morgan released a scoffing sound. âYou make it sound like I have mislaid them forever.â He gestured impatiently. âJulienne, please, do not be a hindrance at this point. Where did I put the writings?â
Seating herself on the edge of a nearby chair, Julienne threaded her fingers together and pressed her hands between her knees. She let her gaze drop. âMaybe itâs better they stay gone. That way, no one can ever use them again.â Her words carried a subtle sting.
Celeste considered this before nodding. âWhile I would agree no one should have them, the fact remains they are your sole source of reference to what Xavier created. He is dead. He canât undo the damage himself. And you do have the advantage of knowing the source of his creation.â
Face pale, taut, Julienne glanced down at her hands. âSo you think it would be all right to use them to kill that thing, but then get rid of them?â
Morgan released a breath. âShe does not trust that I will handle the responsibility wisely.â
Julienne gave a start, then sighed unpleasantly. âThose things have been trouble from the beginning.â
âAnd you just donât want to see him do anything stupid?â Celeste added.
Morgan straightened his shoulders. âYour faith in my abilities truly touches me.â
A sour expression appeared on Celesteâs face. âSomething stupid is your mode of operation ninety-nine percent of the time, Morgan. You go right in, without any regard for the consequences to yourself.â
âI would not think you would be worried about what happens to me.â
Celeste shot him a dirty look. âThatâs where youâre wrong,â she snapped. âYou donât care that others do.â
âWhy the hell are you all over it anyway?â
A flush prickled her skin. âYou are the most hardheaded, piggish male I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. You just assume everything is going to be your way, and then you do as you please.â
âAnd this conversation is important why?â
Celeste furrowed her brow into a thunderous scowl. âBecause you arenât considering how your possession of the Cachaen writings will affect anyone else. Youâre not the only one the fallout will have an impact on. Not in the least. It might be all right in your mind to blow everything to pieces. But what about the people around you? Your decisions touch their lives, too.
