found nothing regarding the female, which is oh so helpful.

“I did learn something,” I say with a smile. “Sawyer and Gage are quite adventurous. The two of them are on fire together. You should see the places they’ve fooled around. There’s this one memory I found in Sawyer’s mind that was sitting right at the forefront. He must have been thinking about it, considering he loves the look of his mate in a suit. Anyway, so Gage is dressed like a CEO and Sawyer is one of his employees. Talk about a hot office scene. You should have watched the two of them go at it on the desk. Sawyer pushed Gage down and pulled his stiff—”

“Sol!” Lilah yells at me.

“What? I was going to say belt. Honestly, kitten. Get your mind out of the gutter.” I roll my eyes.

A hand softly touches my forearm. I turn and find Lealla. “While I love each of you, I need you to get your heads out of the clouds and focus.” Her voice isn’t harsh but there is an edge to it. Lealla is one of the most kind and loving females out there. If she’s stressed, it’s for a reason.

“What have you seen?” Ford asks her. Not only is Lealla the reason this pack exists, she’s also psychic.

“Nothing. I have seen absolutely nothing. There are times when I get glimpses of things regarding other events but know that I can’t say anything for fear of altering the future. This isn’t one of them. I have no idea who’s hurting those in the pack. Well, she only hurt Eaton. What happened to Ari did nothing other than make our alpha female furious. She’s currently outside with Rion, both as wolves, as they comb the property with Carter and Cash.”

“Good idea,” I say. “With their powerful senses of smell, hopefully they can find something.”

Suddenly, magic begins to prickle my skin. I tense and scan the room. Lilah takes my hand in hers as she looks around as well.

“Where’s it coming from?” Ford asks.

“The door,” Sienna says.

We shift our gaze to the doorway and find Whit there with his hands splayed and lifted in the air. The male is one of the more calm wolves in the pack. He’s been through a lot lately and isn’t one to draw attention to himself, so for him to use his fae magic—yes, he’s both shifter and fae, thanks to his parents—something must be wrong.

With Lilah’s hand in mine, I begin to push through the crowd of paranormals and make my way over to Whit. We reach him at the same time as Camden does.

“What’s going on?” Camden asks.

“Caspian’s been hurt,” Whit replies with a slight tremble to his voice. Caspian is a member of the fae. He and Whit have become close friends since everything went down with Whit’s mom. “I’m putting a ward up over the room.”

“Whoever this is has fae in them,” Lilah states. “I’m not sure a ward will do much good.”

“Maybe not, although it may slow them down.”

“And if they’re already in the room?” Camden asks.

“Then they will have a hard time leaving. But I don’t think they are. Caspian and I were coming down the stairs to join the party when it was like the rug was pulled out from under him. He quickly tumbled down the stairs. He was barely able to use his magic to stop himself from hitting the floor hard. Then a deep gash appeared on his leg that wasn’t from the fall. It was like someone was flaying him open right in front of me. A second one appeared after that. I didn’t know whether to shift and go on the attack or use my magic. In the end, he healed while I put us in a small impenetrable bubble.” Whit’s eyes meet Camden’s. “I can’t lose anyone else.” I’m not sure if he’s talking about Caspian or Camden or someone else in the pack at this point.

This would be a good time to deep dive into Whit’s head to find out what he’s thinking. Lilah pulls my hand and brings us out of the room. I sigh. I’ll have to figure that mystery out another time. We easily pass through the ward. I’m sure Whit made it so all of us could move around but not a stranger to the pack.

Caspian is in the hallway casually leaning against the wall. His hair is its usual dark blue and he’s not in costume, just casual, human
