Evie

I swallowed down my hurt as Nathaniel walked away from me. Beneath the hurt was confusion. He knew there was nothing between Liam and me. He likely even already knew Liam was dating someone else, thanks to his compulsive need to know everything that was happening in his pack.

Annoyance battled with concern. As much as I wanted to fight it out with Nathaniel, he’d made it clear he didn’t want to talk. If he needed his space, I’d give it to him. To be honest, after that reaction, I needed a few hours of space.

Changing course, I headed back toward the road. I had work to do anyway. We needed to find the remaining labs—not to mention, we also needed to come up with a plan that would allow us to hit them all at the same time.

Rose was in my office when I arrived.

“You look glum,” she said, and I sighed.

“Relationship stuff.”

“I heard about the mating. Congrats.”

“Thanks. What have you got?”

She nodded at the board. “Your uncle got in touch. He decided to follow the thread Keigan left when he spilled everything to Danica.” Her face twisted, and I couldn’t blame her. Keigan had been a Discipulus mage and my sister’s mentor. Rose had worked with him too. And when Danica was held in the underworld, she learned he’d worked at the very lab that had kidnapped and imprisoned our mom.

“What did Eachann say?”

Rose’s mouth twisted. “He’s obviously the mysterious type. He said to tell you he found something, and that Keigan is just the start.”

Well, that was cryptic. Thankfully, I was due to meet my uncle here tomorrow. I’d pick his brain then.

Rose planted herself at Kyla’s desk, and we worked quietly for a few hours. The biggest issue with narrowing down the labs was digging through the various shell companies. If we were going to take HFE down, we had to make sure they could never reorganize again.

Pulling the lapis lazuli out of my pocket, I studied it. I’d been compulsively checking it every day, but so far, Hellaphine was still in the seelie realm. As much as I hated how she was being treated, the longer she stayed there, the more time it would give us to find all the labs.

Eventually, Rose left to meet with Steve. “I’ll keep you updated,” she said as she strolled toward the door.

Nodding absently, I dove into my research. Excitement shot through me. I was seeing the patterns now. HFE thought they were untouchable. Sure, they’d buried their labs in those shell companies, but they used the exact same pattern each time. As soon as I dug deeper, their cover fell apart.

“Evie.”

I jolted. Hunter was standing in the doorway. “Jeez, make some noise. How was your trip?”

“Fine. But what the hell is going on here?”

Frowning, I clicked into the next link. “What are you talking about?”

“Evie. Something’s wrong with Nathaniel.”

I looked up, my attention narrowing on his face. Hunter’s expression was livid, and my heart thudded harder in my chest. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, he’s acting strangely.
