Chapter 13

Imani

That dream was insane.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead.

Did Aiden dream with me again?

Savory smells drifted into the bedroom. A conversation filled the space. Aiden talked to another man. It didn’t sound like Blaze.

I think that’s Damian.

I rose from bed and eavesdropped.

Damian laughed. “I love what you’ve done with the place. Is this for me?”

Aiden didn’t sound like he found the joke funny. “What do you want?”

“I wanted to show you this.”

Half a minute passed.

Aiden spoke, “What is it?”

“A poem. I think. Or maybe it is a song. Open it,” Damian said. “Perhaps it means nothing.”

“If you found it in the witch’s pocket, then it means something. I’ve never known one to carry poems around. They’re usually chants, spells, or something else. For witches, words are power and spoken exactly right. Anything can happen.”

The sound of paper unfolding came next.

Yawning, I stretched my arms and then checked my phone. The screen showed ten missed calls from Harper.

Dang it. I have to check-in with her.

Aiden’s voice captured my attention. “Has Sherwin been taking good care of the witch?”

“He said her essence is too strong for anything he could give her or come up with.”

Aiden sighed. “He should still try.”

“King, I actually agree with him.”

King? Did Damian just call Aiden that?

“And why do you agree with him?” Aiden asked.

“Magic saturates her. I can smell it down to her bones.”

“And you’ve been doing a lot of smelling?”

Damian coughed. “Well. . .no. I mean. The few times that I’ve been in Sherwin’s cabin to check on her.”

I left the bed, put on my robe, and tiptoed to the door.

Skepticism coated Aiden’s words. “Hmmm. What other observations have you found?”

“At night, her power rises. Sometimes she even glows.”

“Glow?”

“It’s a bronze hue that forms all over her body, even her clothes. Sometimes she opens her eyes. And they’re. . .it’s hard to describe. They’re like kaleidoscopes.”

“Kaleidoscope eyes?” Aiden sounded skeptical. “And you didn’t eat those mushrooms you found in the forest a few days ago?”

“No.”

“Hmmm. Go ahead. I’ll study this paper and see if there is something here. We’ve woken my mate. She is about to come out.”

I widened my eyes.

Oh. He’s talking about me now.

I went to the bathroom to wash my face. Once done, I left the bedroom and followed the trail of savory scents. When I made it to the dining room, I gasped at what I saw. Aiden had picked tons of flowers this morning. Several vases were full and scattered around the table. He must have run out of vases because there were pitchers, pots, and cups full of flowers too. And there were all types of flowers—red roses, white lilies, purplish-pink orchids, and pale-yellow gardenias.

So beautiful.

I turned my attention back to the table. Lit candles sat at the center. Plates were on both sides. One had a stack of four juicy steaks. Eggs, steak, and a tiny bowl of fruit covered the other.

Aiden walked in from the kitchen, carrying two glasses of orange juice. “Good morning, Imani.”

My body hummed from his presence.
