Chapter Eight

“You’re sure this is safe to carry around?” Isa asked, looking down doubtfully at the small box full of fuses and wires.

Vinny laughed. “Yup, it’s safe to carry. I’d just recommend against dropping it.”

Isa winced. She didn’t think that joke was all that funny. She’d rather not think about the possibility of accidentally blowing herself up.

“I can’t thank you enough, Vinny,” Leo said as he too looked down at the box. “I knew I could count on you to rig together something at the last minute.”

Vinny laughed again, his loud guffaws filling the room. Isa had no idea how he could sound so jolly in the middle of such serious times. But all of the shifters in Bear Hollow seemed to be much more relaxed than Isa would have expected. They were frustrated, sad, and angry, of course. But they were also hopeful and optimistic about the future. It was another reason Isa wanted to move to Bear Hollow. This place felt so much more alive and more genuine than Gilt Hollow.

Not to mention, Isa now had a shifter lifemate.

Lifemate. She turned the word over and over in her mind, relishing the sound of it. She had never believed true love would find her. In fact, she had wondered if true love actually existed. But she had no doubt in her mind that what she felt for Leo, and what he felt for her, was real. He was her destiny. How had she gotten so lucky?

Easier said than done.

Isa and Leo bid goodbye to Vinny, and Isa turned a worried eye up to the sky as they started walking back toward the tunnel that would take them back to Gilt Hollow. It was about four in the morning. The sky was still dark, for now. But it wouldn’t be too long before streaks of dawn started to blaze across the sky. Isa had to get to the palace and set off the explosion before everyone in the palace woke up. If she did this while everyone was still sleeping, she could avoid accidentally killing anyone. No one ever slept in the west wing of the palace, and since everyone was short on guards these days, the west wing was not even patrolled at night. The Emperor’s guards who had managed to survive the poisoning fiasco all concentrated on guarding the east wing, where the royal family slept.

I can’t believe I’m doing this. Isa’s thoughts grew troubled as they crossed the tunnel and entered the Gilt Hollow forest. The bag that held the bomb Vinny had made was slung across her back, and it felt ten times heavier than it should have. Even though Isa knew she was doing the right thing, she couldn’t help but feel guilty. Her parents would never understand why she would do something like this. Her father truly believed that shifters
