CHAPTER 9

DECLAN

“Lass?” My voice was rougher and a bit more panicked than I intended as I searched the property for Narcissa.

Zachariah had just walked outside to tell the others that he would be able to include all of them under his magic so they could see the dead at tonight’s party. Unbeknown to Narcissa, I was able to see them as well. Which is something I would have told her…if I’d been able to find her, but it was clear her little ass was no longer in the back yard.

A weird feeling, a lot like panic, struck me and I searched the bottom floor of the house, ignoring her grandmother’s questioning gaze before I climbed the stairs. I let my magic expand out, and I could feel that the wards were still very much in place. I entered her bedroom and opened the balcony, relieved to see a streak of red standing in the front yard.

What in the bloody hell was she doing?

I stepped onto the railing and jumped down, causing her to turn as a warm glint entered her eyes. “What are you doing out front, lass?”

I knew the wards made humans feel uncomfortable, so the media and police weren’t focused on us, but I still didn’t like her out in the open like this. Open and vulnerable. She fixed me with a look. “Before we hold this party, I want to give Nero and the other asshole a chance to give back the shifters and stop this nonsense.”

“You aren’t turning yourself in,” I growled.

“No shit.” She squeezed my hand. “I also don’t want to have tea with the dead and go to war with the two bastards without having asked them to cut it out.”

“You were going to go over there alone?” I frowned as she watched me with light amusement.

“No, I knew you would come find me. I was waiting,” she chirped. “Ready?”

“Should we tell the others?” I looked back at the house, knowing they would be concerned at her sudden disappearance.

She stepped backwards and offered me a rogue grin. “Do you feel like you need permission?”

I grunted and plastered her to my chest before opening the gate. She inhaled sharply, and I was tempted to swipe away all the fucking spirits that crowded around her. Bloody inconsiderate assholes.

Immediately the news trucks were turning their cameras towards us, and I kept a hand on her back as we approached the house, the security guards watching us cautiously. Shifters. Specifically hellhounds, and not part of Draco’s pack if my senses were right.

“We’re here to see Mayor Lourn,” she stated pleasantly as the shifters watched us, eyes narrowed in caution as if trying to gauge our intentions. They were right to be concerned. One of them pressed a button on their mic, and I briefly heard Mayor Lourn’s static voice over the tech piece.

Suddenly the door opened, and Mayor Lourn’s obnoxious smile filled the space as reporters began shouting questions at him. My grip tightened on my little cherry, and she walked forward, her magic seeping out to cover the interior of the estate.
