had a very injured wolf shifter on my hands.
Which reminded me. Since when the hell was Jake a wolf shifter? Bastard should've told me. No wonder why he wouldn't touch any of the SPAWN weapons or the weyfinder. They couldn't be handled by magical beings--only straight up Guardians.
God, I was so stupid. I should've figured this out sooner.
When I pulled up to Necromancer Frankie's house, I slammed on the brakes. Probably more than I should've sounding from the loud groan I got from Jake. That should teach him not to lie to me again. Asshole.
Two of Frankie's assistants met me at the back of the truck. They took Jake out and we hurried into the house. Frankie nodded at me, silently telling me to stay out of the way. I stayed in the waiting room. They shut the door, Jake on the other side of it.
I sat in a chair and held my head in my hands. How had things gotten so fucked up? The coven betrayed me. They almost got the amber stone. They probably did something to the fucking ley line!
SHIT.
I stood and started pacing the waiting room, which actually was a real waiting room. Frankie was a necromancer only to the magical beings, but to the humans, he was a spiritual healer and advisor. You know, that new age crap.
The air shimmered in front of me. I wasn't half as shocked to see Green Eyes as I would've been oh about an hour ago. "How...?"
He shrugged. "I stole a piece of your hair earlier."
I shook my head, but I didn't have enough energy to argue with him about how he shouldn't have been able to find me if he played by the rules. Now that he had my hair though, he'd be able to find me in any place that wasn't magically warded off. For instance, he could find me here, but not at my house. That had the best wards in the city.
Green Eyes looked me over and then took in our surroundings. Even though his face was harsh-beautiful, his features softened minutely. "Are you injured?"
I took a moment to take stock of myself. My right elbow hurt like a bitch and there were some things here and there, but for the most part, I thought I was good. "Doesn't seem to be so bad."
A long howl erupted from the room where Jake and the others went. I grimaced.
"Not as bad as your friend I take it?"
I shook my head and sat, my legs bobbing up and down with the energy that was all bottled up inside. One would think I would've been overspent, but that was the thing about adrenaline, it was hard to get rid of.
"I really fucked this up, Green Eyes. The coven tried to steal...something of mine." If the stone really was that coveted, there was no way I wanted to tell him I had it. You couldn't trust fae. "I think they did something even worse to the ley line."
He sat beside me. "That's why, and coincidentally how, I could find you. It's on full blast baby cakes. Even if I hadn't stolen a piece of your hair, I'm pretty sure I would've been able to draw enough energy from my surroundings to find you."
I tugged at the ends of my hair. How did this go so horribly wrong? Instead of trying to put this to bed so I could focus on Damen, I just made this immeasurably worse. I should've listened to Jake. He told me not to do it, but I was stubborn and didn't listen. Fuck me.
The fey touched my shoulder and I froze. He snatched his hand away immediately. "Okay, okay. See we're not at that point in our relationship either. No problem. I'm good." He paused for a few brief seconds so I could let the weird slide off me. "I tried to catch you at the library earlier. I think I may have given one of your patrons a heart attack."
My mouth fell open. "You showed yourself?"
He looked at me down his nose. "In a watered down version of course. No reason to show off the goods to the humans, you know what I'm saying?"
He laughed and I didn't. Fae were a weird magical species. So full of themselves.
"Do you have something for me? Any news?"
"I asked around. Turns out there have been instances in which the ley lines have turned good paranormals bad." He
