Chapter twenty-one

Dante

Asher let out a low whistle. “Do you think we can do that?”

“Do you want me to chop your head off so we can see?” I raised my eyes, glaring at my brother with all the loathing I had for him for taking Isabel away from me.

“Whoa. I understand you’re angry, but do you want to kill me?”

I turned my attention back to Isabel. What should I do with her body while I hunted Silas? She needed to be somewhere safe. I guess now the curse had lifted, the castle wouldn’t turn her into a ghost. Her bedroom had a killer pet raven. She’d be a good watchguard over her body. Should I roll her up on the rug in case she turned into a ghost again?

“Dante?”

“What? No. Sorry, I was trying to figure out what to do with Isabel’s body while we get her head.” I rubbed a hand over my mouth. “I can’t believe I said that.”

“Does she have a coffin you can put her in?”

“A coffin?” I spluttered.

“Isn’t that what they sleep in?”

“Honestly, I don’t know. It was always night during the curse, and we were always awake.”

“Didn’t you get tired? It’s been months since I left you here.”

“Months?” I leaped to my feet. “So much time, yet we never slept or ate. The curse must have placed us in some sort of time bubble.”

“Silas is one powerful warlock. Everywhere I asked after him the people acted so afraid, but they were more afraid of me when I shifted into a monster.”

“We’re not monsters.”

“Werewolf. Same thing.”

“Have you met a monster?”

“No.”

“Then you don’t comprehend if we’re the same. During the curse, there was a monster in the pond.”

“A monster in the pond. Come on,” Asher scoffed, kicking his foot on the ground at the same time.

“He was an octopus before the curse. Silas’s curse warped things in here, but that’s changed now. I hope it has. He removed it, didn’t he?”

“Yes. We made a binding blood deal. He’d remove the curse if I fetched him her head. What would he want with her head?”

“I don’t know, but we’ll find out as soon as I place Isabel’s body in her bedroom then we go hunting.”

I slid one arm under her shoulders and the other under her lower back and rolled her body toward me as I stood. The fact she had no head made my eyes wet with tears as I tried not to look at her neck. It made me sick seeing her like this. Tending to her while she’d been recovering from the poison had been a worry, but this stressed me beyond what my pounding head could take.

“Open the door for me.”

Asher walked to the front door and opened it. I stepped over the threshold half expecting Isabel to turn into a ghost again. She didn’t. Instead, the sound of music emanated from the ballroom. Voices too. Were there people inside? Vampires? Ones who’d kill us if they saw us. Isabel had warned me about the ballroom.
