CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

It had been a long day. Reg let Julian drive her back home rather than transport herself directly there and let him find out about another of her powers. He knew far too much about her as it was. Julian opened his door to get out of the car at the same time as Reg.

“Stay put,” Reg told him. “I’m fine. I’ll let you know if I figure anything out. About Davyn. You’ll be among the first to hear.”

“I’ll walk you in,” Julian declared.

“I don’t need an escort. I’ll see myself in.”

Julian looked around. “How do you know that soul drinker isn’t close by, just waiting for you to come back home? He knows where you live. You cut him off; he will want to talk to you again.”

“He can’t come into the yard. He is barred from it. He can’t get into the garden or the cottage. I’ll be just fine there.”

“It isn’t safe,” Julian warned. “Associating with him, you open yourself up to all kinds of dangers. He could be here. You don’t know.”

“I do know. I would be able to feel him here.” Reg insisted. “Goodbye.” She slammed the passenger-side door closed.

Through the window, she could see Julian shaking his head at her. But he pulled his door shut and didn’t attempt to follow her or walk with her into the yard.

Reg was tired and riled up at the same time. First Corvin demanding to know where she had been and trying to control her life, and then Julian, her self-appointed guardian, trying to keep her from doing anything he might consider dangerous. As if Reg didn’t know what she was doing. She had a lot more experience than he did with Corvin’s kind. At least she assumed so. With Corvin, anyway. Even if Julian knew other power drinkers, he did not know Corvin. Warlocks were individuals, just like any other class of people. There were bound to be both bad ones and good ones. She couldn’t judge just by the reputation of the class. That was prejudice.

She paused at the gate to the backyard and took a quick look around. Corvin had startled her there before. It was as far as he could go before the wards would stop him. But looking around, she didn’t see him anywhere. He was probably pretty angry after Reg had hung up on him, but he hadn’t come to the house to confront her about it. She would already know about it.

Reg unlatched the gate, pushed it open, and entered the garden. She could feel the warm, welcoming glow of her home and the enchanted garden. It was a place she could be perfectly comfortable and at home. Safe from any outside influences. Julian had been able to enter the garden, but he wasn’t Corvin. And he wasn’t someone who had tried to enter with evil intentions. The fact that it was against the magical community’s rules to bar a magical investigator from entering was not something that Reg had ever discussed with Sarah.
