We walked the streets of Sheunta Village and I saw the wary looks of the people as they watched us pass. Everyone was afraid and with good reason. Not many people were out and about. Most stayed indoors, and I preferred it that way. It was safer.

We passed the doctor’s office and crossed the street to the apothecary that was owned by Cosima Slade, my friend Scarlet’s mom. Cosima was the witch who put the suppression spell on me as a baby to keep my wolf suppressed.

“Stay out here,” I instructed the guards.

“I’m coming in with ye,” Liam countered.

I weighed my options and nodded. I trusted Liam. When I pushed the door to the apothecary open, the bell atop the door softly chimed, alerting the store owner of my entrance.

Inside, the store looked roughly the same as the last time I was there a couple years ago. Shelves and racks crammed to bursting with potions, tonics, and remedies for your everyday needs, plus a spell here and there for everything else. Jars lined the wall behind the register with unfamiliar herbs, and a middle-aged woman stood behind the counter with reddish brown hair, big doe eyes, and a heart-shaped mouth. Just like Scarlet. They could be twins.

Her eyes widened when she saw me. “Mackenzie!” she shouted as she came around the counter with her arms spread wide. “It’s about time ye came to see me, lass!”

Cosima enveloped me in a hug and I embraced her just as tightly. “It’s great to see you, Cosima. You look well.”

She pulled back and sized me up and down. “Ye don look so bad yerself!” she laughed.

“How’s Scarlet doing?” I asked, getting the formalities out of the way.

Cosima beamed at the mention of her daughter. “She’s thriving at the Academy, but she was beside herself when she couldn’t make it to your mating ceremony.” She frowned.

I waved her off. “No worries. School comes first. Scarlet needs to become the best witch in history,” I smirked.

“Aye.” Cosima smiled brightly. “She’s so talented, ye ken. She can go anywhere after graduation, to any coven.”

I twisted my mouth to the side. “Maybe I should recruit her before anyone snatches her up.”

Cosima brightened. “That would be lovely!” She straightened and refocused on me. “Anyway, Mackenzie, what brings ye to my shop?”

“I’m sure you’re no stranger to the rumors …” I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in frustration.

“Aye, I heard what happened.” Her face fell. “May the goddess be with them.”

Goddess? You know what, I wasn’t even going to touch that. To each their own.

“Our enemy is extremely powerful, Cosima; someone we can’t easily defeat,” I said. “I need your help.”

She jerked back in surprise. “Me? What could I possibly do to help?”

“You’re a powerful witch. You must know some way to keep someone out of your mind,” I urged.

I’d given this a lot of thought. Could Abaddon really control the air, or was he just controlling their minds into thinking they couldn’t breathe? The latter was my guess.
