Chapter

Twenty

With my parents on the run, my name cleared, and the mage who’d been after me dead, I was able to return home.

Winnie and Natalia both bombarded me with affection and demands for food. Once they were fed, I walked to what was left of my house, careful of where I stepped, searching for anything left I could salvage.

As I sifted through the wreckage, I came up with nothing I could take.

With a defeated sigh, I walked over to where the guys all stood, whispering together. “Nothing is salvageable, it seems. Sorry to have made you all waste a trip up here.”

“It wasn’t a waste,” Caleb said. Natalia sat on his shoulder, rubbing her head against his cheek. “We got to come see your pets and ensure they were safe and feed them.”

“Speaking of Natalia and Winnie,” Riddick said. “We could take them to the farm at the werewolf den in Jinla, where they would be spoiled rotten by the children.”

“You think they’d take them?” I asked.

Caleb smiled. “Papa Dan will be excited to have them, especially Natalia. I bet Natalia and he will get on swimmingly, won’t you, Natalia?”

Natalia cawed and bobbed her head.

“Well, I guess I better grab Winnie’s cage from the barn then,” I said and headed that way.

Branson followed behind me. “It’s up on the second shelf, so I’ll help you get it down.”

Smiling wide, I looked over my shoulder at him. “Why thank you, tall man. I appreciate your height assistance.”

Once inside the barn, we headed to the shelves where I stored the supplies and Branson easily pulled down the metal cage, carrying it out to the SUV to get it prepared for Winnie.

I grabbed what was left of her sack of pellets and the bag of bird feed I had for Natalia. Taking a breath, I looked around the barn and realized I had medical items to pack up as well.

“Need some help?” Triston asked, making me yelp in surprise.

I spun and smacked his shoulder. “You snuck in here on purpose.”

He chuckled and kissed my cheek. “Perhaps.”

In a few minutes, we had all of my items packed up and ready to transport. Not that I necessarily needed them now that I wasn’t going to be treating creatures, but they were mine and useful and who knew when one of the guys might need some quick bandages.

“Ready?” Riddick asked from the doorway of the barn.

I nodded and hefted my medical kit backpack on my shoulders, but Triston pulled it off and carried it as well as two other large duffel bags, giving me a wink as he walked away.

It must be nice to carry so much. Yes, I could use my telekinesis to do those things, when it was working.

Fear coursed through me at the fact that it had been three hours and I still couldn’t access my magic. What if it was permanently gone? Then what good was I? How could I protect myself let alone others without my powers?

“Hey,” Riddick whispered and set his hands on my upper arms.
