"What? No. She shouldn't be." Indy mutters. Brax huffs as he gets shoved out of the way. Indy presses her eye to the other peephole.

"Why shouldn't she be?" I ask. My heart pounds as Xavi and Orion dip behind a wall. I didn't come here for Xavi to die

"The music starts soon. She hates it and keeps herself away. She shouldn't be here. Why is she out? She must know you are inside my house. Is she coming this way? You should get in the tunnel, just in case."

"It's okay."

"Her presence worries me." She sighs

"I won't be going anywhere while Xavi is out there." I tell her as I keep watch

Guards follow Thalia in a V formation. Her long green dress hides her feet, giving her the appearance that she is gliding along the ground. With a flick of her hand, the dead bodies move out of her path, but not out of the way of the guards.

Brax had said her gift was fire. There was definitely more. The entire situation told me that she is not a standard Witch. There was something far more powerful about her, to have this much power didn't make sense.

All the books I had managed to replace described Witches as nothing more than creatures of the earth. Creatures that use herbs and potions. They were described as harmless. It didn't match Cooper and it didn't match Thalia. And if they are really harmless, why did Wolves like me and Xavi exist?

The thick grey clouds that litter the sky above White Cliffs seem to be getting darker by the second.

"She doesn't like music?" I ask with a frown

"She hates it. I don't know why." Ivy mumbles

Thalia marches through on some kind of mission. Her guards keep formation as they follow her, trampling over the bodies in their path. I wasn't sure if they were aware of the dead or not.

"Are her guards Lycans?" I ask

"Most definitely!" Brax tells me. "Some are borderline Rogue, I can feel it."

"Are they under a spell or are they following her?"

"I can't be sure. Maybe both." Indy sighs. "I just know she walks around like she is the Queen of White Cliffs and Serkan lets her."

"The others that live here, how do they react when they see her?" Thalia and her guards turn the corner out of sight as Xavi and Orion speed back across the yard, charging inside as Brax opens the door.

'She was right there.' Xavi mutters through our link. 'She was right there and I could have ripped her throat out.'

"You would not have been able to get close enough before she killed you." I remind him. "Someone like her needs to be handled with precision."

It was as if all my birthdays had come at once when I found Xavi. A mate that I was never looking for. Coming into my life when I least expected it.

Everything about him was calm,

unless he was faced with a Witch. If

I speak of Thalia, all signs of

reasoning disappear into a black

hole. Anger, hatred, frustration

were

just some of the things that flooded through our bond. I knew it was

partly because of her beinas

a Witch, but mostly because of the curse she put on him.

He didn't trust Indy either. But that wasn't for me to fix. He had a lot more experience with Witches than did. If I wasn't here with Xavi, Indy would be dead. He was only holding back because I had asked him. Though I did hope he was wrong about her.

Indy wraps her arms around Orion and then punches him in the chest. "Don't do that to me!"

He rolls his eyes at her and pulls her back in for a hug. Squeezing her until she tells him she can't breathe.

"Indy? How do the others react to her?" I wanted to know what was in that tower but I wanted answers while there was little chance that we would be attacked.

"They don't. The only one they ever react to is Serkan. He is an Alpha. He is a Kitson."

I shift my focus back to the

darkening sky just as the subtle

sounds of music appear. Ripping a wooden plank from the window so that I could see better. Indy panics, grabbing the wood from my hands. "No, she will see." Narugi.com
