“We have always joked about you being a Luna. You have always put everyone else first. You take on things that should be far too much for you, but you seem to always make things work after a ton of personal sacrifice.”
He looks up at me. “The saw you leaving, but I’ve seen you really leave and I don’t know if I can go through that again.”
“I’m here now okay. That’s all I can say. The mate thing is something none of us have control over. We need to go find Elena and Gentry, want to get rid of a third point before Cam and Kota’s birthday. They mentioned something might be tied to when you guys come of age. I would like to have a majority control of the magic around here before that happens.”
“Told you.”
“Huh?”
“When you get up to pee, weird sh*t happens and you seem to like looking for it.”
“Shut up Dakota.”
“I like it when you use my whole name, Smalls.”
I just laugh.
“I’m going to shower and we are going to go look for trouble together.
Turns out trouble finds me more quickly than I want to admit. Everyone is downstairs in the formal dining room. We have actually turned it into our version of a war room from the warrior house. There are maps and lists everywhere. Nathaniel hung a large screen to show surveillance videos in here. When we walk in, all eyes fall on us and Jena is pale.
I rushed to her in an instant. “What? What happened?” I look around for my brother, thinking something might have happened to him while I was out cold. But, he’s right there beside her. There’s only one other thing that would put that look on her face. “What. Happened?”
I look around and my whole team looks sick, like physically ill. Everyone else is worried, I’m sure, based on their reactions.
“We found something early this morning on patrol near the spot where we got Gentry back.”
Wyatt starts, but doesn’t go on right away.
“Seriously! Somebody start talking now!” Every bad emotion I have is running through my body right now. Fear, anger, dread, shame. What could they have possibly found that would make every single person in this room look like they have seen a ghost?
“You got a delivery.”
Lil says, pushing a white box at me. I’m going to f*cking kill him and shove these white boxes down his throat. Anger surges through me.
“WHOA, Bitty. Take a breath.
“We got another box of who knows whose body parts and you’re telling me to take a breath?!?” I turn and yell at Oliver.
“No, I’m telling you to take a breath because you might set the house on fire.”
“WHAT!” I yell, How can he make jokes right now? Dakota is the one for jokes, not him.
“Baby, take a breath, please. I would hug you, but I’m kind of afraid right now.”
Now, Kota decides to step in.
“What are you talking about?”
“Look at your hands, Bitty.”
I look down.
“What the f*ck is happening?!” I looked surprised and scared. My hands are on fire. I can’t feel it, but they are on fire. The flames are licking up my arms, but I can’t feel a thing. I’m not even warm. “Is it just my hands?” I look at Oliver, he will tell me the truth.
“Uh, your eyes are red and glowing, but your hands are the only thing on fire.”
“New power unlocked.”
“Shut up Sam.”
My brother smacks him upside the head and I laugh. I let the anger go and laugh.
“No! Sam, keep it up. Whatever stupid you have going makes her happy. It’s calming her down.”
Lil points to me and I look down too. The flames are receding.
