Levi was the calmest one of us all, he always had been. I was pacing up and down, feeling like I was going out of my mind with worry. I needed to do something. I needed to find her. James was beyond hysterical, and Adara had eventually sedated him.

Gunnar stood quietly to one side, but I knew he wasn’t okay. Kiran and Levi kept whispering to each other, then Kiran looked at me and walked down the hall to his study. I followed him inside, and a few seconds later, Levi joined us.

“What’s going on?” I asked Kiran, and he looked at Levi. I couldn’t decipher the look on his face but something told me I was about to find out.

“His name’s Jeffrey White,” Levi said, and my eyes snapped up to him. Jeffrey White. I knew that name. Son of a bitch. No wonder he looked so familiar.

“He was in our school. He’s four years older than us,” I said.

“He owns some property in Sterling, Salamatof, and Nikiski,” Levi said.

“Three different towns?” I said, in dismay.

    Kari’s resurrection ceremony was done the very next night. James had insisted on it. He didn’t want her to be vulnerable without her healing again. Kari hadn’t spoken to me since that night we brought Gunnar home, as if she too blamed me, like I blamed myself. I called and texted, but all I got in return was silence. She read my texts, but that was the only thing I got, a read notification.Her resurrection had been done in private. Only James was with her in the clearing. He was shutting everyone out, and we only knew she’d shifted successfully, when we heard her sorrowful howls from deep within the forest.Four days later, we stood in the clearing with Gunnar’s body lying in the middle. We’d already held his funeral, and the church had been packed. The lie we told was that he’d died from anaphylactic shock from an allergy we hadn’t known about. It was hard to swallow, but it was still better than the truth.Kari stood next to James looking down. She looked different since her resurr

    In the study, Levi highlighted the locations of the properties Jeffrey White owned. He tapped on the map showing the property in Salamatof. “He owns a cottage here on the lake. It’s remote, and there’s nothing for miles. That’s where I believe he’s keeping her.”“Okay, let’s go,” I said, and stood up.“Not so fast, Kai. You see that footpath? We’ll enter that stretch of woods from this side, then move towards the cottage, so we can line up with the building from different angles. We don’t know if he’s armed or not. Chances are, he is; he took her for a reason, and I believe he wants us to find him. I suggest I go in from the front, and you two can follow behind me, in your other invisible realm thing,” Levi said, and I nodded my head.“Now can we go?” I asked him half an hour later, when Levi finished talking about entry points and exit routes.“Kai, your only concern when we breach, is Kari, and getting her out. We’ll handle Jeffrey. Do you understand? I don’t care how mad you are o

    Kari stood in the boutique and looked at herself in the mirror. She turned from side to side and sighed. She liked the dress, but it just didn’t feel like the right one. She wished her mother was there. Shoran always had a great sense of style.“I don’t think blue’s really my color,” she said to the assistant, who smiled at her.“The emerald green dress will really compliment your coloring,” she said to Kari.“I’ll try it on next,” Kari said, with a smile. The assistant returned with the dress, and Kari smiled again. “It’s beautiful.”“I think it will look perfect on you,” the woman said.Kari put the dress on and stepped out of the dressing room. It fit her perfectly, and she knew this was the dress. She stood in front of the mirror again and studied herself. Would Kai like it? A light blush appeared on her cheeks, and she smiled again.Kari walked up to the pay station and placed the dress carefully on the counter. “I left my handbag in the car. Can you wrap this up for me? I’ll be

    I called Kari’s number again, and with each word spoken, my heart sank more. It went to voicemail again, and I turned around. Kiran frowned as he put his glass down and looked at me with a worried expression on his face.“What is it?” he asked me.“Nobody knows where Kari is,” I said, and James walked over to us, as well. “Saga hasn’t spoken to her all day, and now her phone’s off.”Levi took his phone out and dialed a number. “Bluebird, get me the location of the number I’m sending to you.” Levi typed on his phone, and went back to his conversation with Bluebird. He listened to whatever she was saying, then he ended the call.“Her phone pinged from a tower in Sterling at 6 p.m.,” Levi said, as we stood apart from the rest of the people who had already arrived.“That’s when I phoned her. It just rang and rang, and I assumed she might be busy getting ready.” I turned around and walked out of the room and into the garage. Kiran, Levi, and James followed me outside.“Get in,” Levi said,

    I was still in bed, my muscles still sore from the previous day’s extreme training with Kiran. Kari’s phone call had woken me up, and I wished I could just roll over and go back to sleep. I was still tired, even though I didn’t mind her waking me up.“I’ll see you tonight,” Kari said.“I haven’t seen you in four days,” I said.I’d been busy with Kiran and my family, spending time with Saga and William, and with my mother. It was nice to be home, and Kiran had gone overboard on the whole hotel thing. He took me to work with him every day, and tried to teach me everything he knew, so that when my acceptance came through, I’d be ready to complete my first year in one month. At least, that’s what it felt like.“Liar, we have breakfast together every morning. I do miss you, but I have to go get my dress. Imagine the rumors if I show up in something I’ve already worn,” she said, and chuckled.It was her resurrection later that night, and though it was barely 6 a.m., she was ready to head ou
