Chapter 13

We left at dusk as planned with a few more people in tow than Meili seemed to have anticipated. Jasper had insisted Liam and Anna come with us. I knew my brother had only invited them along for two reasons: One, they were adults and he didn’t have to babysit them or be responsible for them, unlike if he had invited Paxton or Reese to tag along. And two, them coming meant the minivan was too small and we’d be forced to take his truck as well.

“I knew he wouldn’t drive the minivan,” Tristan whispered into my ear. We were crammed into the backseat of Jasper’s truck surrounded by bottles of cloaks he’d spent the last few hours creating. There was everything from cloaks of invisibility to cloaks of fear. He’d made more than enough of each to take down an entire army of Vodun, should we come against one. “He isn’t the type.”

“Got that right,” I muttered, remembering how clear my brother had made it last night to me. I wondered then if his inability to commit to Anna had been the reason they’d broken things off. It made sense. Jasper might seem childish at times, but when you took a look at him as a whole, he was more grown up than most his age. He had a house, a thriving business, a kick-ass truck, and a younger sister to raise.

I chewed along my bottom lip, thinking about how unfair I’d always thought things were when it came to not having our parents around. It had been hell trying to figure out what my period was with Jasper as my go-to person. He acted like he was going to throw up talking to me about it, which made me feel even more afraid of what my body was going through than I’m sure he intended. I’d never thought of it from his perspective though. Not once. He’d lost more than I had, because not only did he lose his parents, he’d also lost his freedom when he gained a kid to raise at eighteen.

“Hey, you okay?” Tristan interlaced his fingers through mine. I could feel his eyes on me, but couldn’t meet his stare.

“Fine. Things are just catching up with me is all.” It wasn’t a total lie. Things were catching up with me, and because of it, I was emotionally drained and we had only been on the road for fifteen minutes.

Tristan pressed his lips against my temple. “I get it. Trust me.”

His thumb moved in slow, soft circles along the top of my hand, and I leaned my head on his shoulder. It was a sweet moment, one that reminded me he was in this with me. He was also a pawn in the game between the Vodun and his tribe. They’d used him to get to me and only appeared to value him once he had a link to the mirror and their magic within it. I snuggled into his side more, thankful he was here with me.
