Kieran

Kieran could hardly speak. He’d given powerful Ghost Whisperers ten times as much information as he’d just given Alexis. Uttering one word would’ve been more than he’d just given her. And yet she’d read the situation perfectly.

The others had tried to send his mother beyond the Line. They’d chimed their bells and fanned their candles, but in the end, he’d received only their condolences. They couldn’t force a spirit that did not want to go.

Alexis hadn’t even tried. She’d listened to the problem, directly from the source, and immediately tried to problem-solve. His stomach exploded in fireworks.

“She’s legit,” Zorn said, voicing Kieran’s thought. Zorn caught up to Kieran and kept pace. They walked along the sidewalk to a distant parking lot. People stopped to gawk, recognizing Kieran’s face. “I had my suspicions, but…”

“I’ve had people testing her all night. She has left them in complete awe.” Kieran shook his head and threw out his hand. Fog blasted down from the sky before swirling through the street, creating a thick white wall.

Drivers slammed on their brakes, squealing to a stop. He was already walking, crossing in front of them before waving his hand again and dissipating the weather effect.

“I’m in complete awe.” He stepped up onto the far curb. “Make sure she gets home okay.”

“Donovan is on it.”

“Tear down that fair. Make sure those beasts are placed in the magical reserves, and ensure the slaves have enough resources to start an independent life. Let the mayor know that I can be reasonable with regards to a magical fair, but it must be run correctly. What he allowed is appalling.”

“Of course, sir.” Zorn climbed the stairs of the parking garage behind him. “The standard letter, then?”

“Yes.” Kieran reached his car and paused, his mind and body both buzzing. “She didn’t slice down my chest once tonight.”

“Progress.”

“Was it? Or are there different magics at work?” He pulled his wallet from his pocket so he wouldn’t be sitting on it, then opened the car door. “Bring her in to be tested. I need to see what’s under the hood.”

“And the boy?”

Kieran stopped, having descended halfway into his car. He eyed Zorn in confusion. “What about him?”

“He has incredible potential, and he is one of the two things she cares about most in the world.”

Kieran had been so blinded by her incredible beauty, and the rich feel of her delicious magic, that he hadn’t noticed much else. She was becoming a weakness. A distraction. Something he craved when having spent too long without her quick wit and sparkling eyes.

Something he should cut out of his life immediately so as not to be consumed by her. But he needed her. He needed her magic.

He stilled for a moment, letting the rush of feeling course through him. Heavens, he wanted her. Like he’d never wanted any other woman. She was exciting and mysterious. The things she did for those kids would inspire saints, and she’d stood up to those beast handlers with unbelievable courage. She was strong and fierce, but soft-hearted.
