"Have you seen the Alphas?" I asked Marcus, the only remaining shifter in the Clinic. I had set his broken arm when he came in, and it was already healing. At this rate, it would be completely healed within twenty-four hours.Bailey and I had worked all through the night patching up one shifter after another, but I hadn't seen or heard from Xander or Elias. "The last time I saw them, they were assessing the damage and seeing to the other shifters." Marcus adjusted the sling around his shoulders and hopped off the examination table. "I'll tell them you're looking for them when I see them. I shook my head, walking with him toward the front. "Thanks, but that won't be necessary, as long as they're okay."Marcus lifted his arm. "Hey! Thanks, Doc! This feels good!"I smirked, amazed that shifters healed so quickly. "Be careful not to move your arm around too much. I don't want to have to reset it in the middle of the night."He laughed. "Thanks, Doc. But I think I'm good." He raised his e

Just then, Xander and Elias stepped off the elevator."What's going on?" Elias asked, looking between Daphne and me."I found a locator spell, and I think we may be able to find the prisoner," I replied. "Or at least the hideout for Nightshade.""Good," Xander said. "Then what are we waiting for?""Come in and let me look at the spell," Daphne said, opening the door wide. When we walked in, Daphne led us to the massive, ornately carved wooden table. "Please, sit." She motioned toward the other chairs and then reached for the book. "Kalyssa, let's take a look at the spell."When I set the book before her, Daphne read through the spell and then turned the pages. Then she pointed to another spell. "This is the one. The other spell was good, but this one is better." She looked up at the Alphas. "But first, we'll need something that belonged to him. What was his name?"Xander motioned toward me. "We tortured him for days and he wouldn't tell us anything. But just before the attack yesterda

Pushing myself faster, I had never felt so free in my life. I kicked up dirt and the fresh lichen as I pushed myself harder, moving quickly through the trees, easily dodging them as I ran. "Are we leaving the Oasis?" Xander asked in the Pack Mind, laughing. "The edge is right up ahead, and then there's nothing but desert.""Stop," Elias said, stepping in front of me. "Smell the air."When I came to a stop, my muscles already felt better. I did as he said and caught the scent of something that smelled delicious. "Deer?"Elias nodded, smiling. "To the left.""Oh, you should have let her smell them out," Xander turned to me. "It's more fun that way. It satisfies the hunter in you."I nodded, smiling. "Well, either way, I'm starving, and they smell delicious." We stalked toward the left, and there was a small herd of mule deer. "How do I do this?""Why are you whispering?" Xander asked mentally, chuckling. I nudged his shoulder, and not gently. "Ow!" Xander laughed. "The deer can't hear

After saying goodbye to Cruz, I headed to the Clinic, eager to see if Bailey had received my message. But I was glad that I ran into Cruz. I didn't like the way we had left things, and I missed our friendship."Hi, Bailey! Anyone home?" I asked, stepping inside.Bailey came out from the back. "What are you doing here? I didn't think you'd be in today."I shrugged. "I finished early."Even though I trusted Bailey with my life, I didn't want it getting around that we knew where Nightshade was. The last thing we needed was for them to get tipped off and know we were coming. In fact, I had the feeling that when it was time to go, it would be at a moment's notice. We had a mole in the Diamond Pack, and it was the only way to make sure we kept the element of surprise on our side."So, have you had many patients?" I asked, looking around. "Man! You've been one busy lady! This place is immaculate!""Thanks," she said, smiling proudly. "I had just a few dislocated or broken fingers come in, alo

"Do me a favor and get my grimoire from the table over there, Kalyssa." In her suite, Daphne quickly took candles from the shelf and placed them on the table, along with a ceramic bowl.I nodded, setting her grimoire gingerly on the table. "Now, take the hair out of his hairbrush." She started lighting the candles. I did as she asked and soon had a few strands of his hair. "What do I do with them?""Set them in the bowl." She nodded toward the center of the table and paged quickly through her grimoire."Does every witch have a grimoire?" I asked, watching.Daphne nodded. "Every witch worth her salt." She tilted her head to the side. "I'll get you a grimoire, and you can start your own. Of course, the one I gave you belongs to your people. But that doesn't mean you can't have one of your own."I nodded, knowing that time was of the essence. Xander was waiting for Cruz's location. And every moment we wasted was another moment that Cruz was captive.Daphne raised her hands over the bowl
