me.”
“She’ll come around,” she murmured. “Tyla’s been through a lot of heartache. I know she’d kill me if I told you this, but she’s just afraid. You need to show her she has nothing to worry about.”
Leaning my head against the couch, I blew out a frustrated breath. Getting Tyla to listen was like trying to move a brick wall. I guess I was just going to have to break it down.
Tyla
I could feel the warmth beside me and turned into it. Fingers caressed my arm and I smiled. Breathing deeply, Sebastian’s scent filled my lungs and reality reared its ugly head. Gasping, I opened my eyes and sat up, head pounding. Sebastian stared back at me, the top half of his body bare. I really wanted to look under the covers to see if he was completely naked, but then I remembered why I was there in the first place. The memories from the stone flashed before my eyes.
“Where are we?” I asked.
Sebastian looked at me with his mesmerizing crystal blue eyes. “In a cabin just down the road from Amelie’s. After you passed out last night, we needed a place to stay. I figured we could go back there today.”
I looked at the clock and realized I’d been out for over twelve hours. “Holy shit, my parents. I need to call them.”
Sebastian reached for my phone on the bedside table and tossed it to me. “It’s already been done. I know you wanted to talk to them, but they kept calling. I had to tell them something.”
My throat tightened and I nodded. It was probably best he’d done it anyway. “I understand. How did they take it?”
He shrugged. “Like I thought they would. They just want you home safe.”
I glanced around the room for the stone. It was the only way I was going to find Amelie. “Where’s the stone?” I asked.
“It’s in safekeeping. What did you see this last time?”
Closing my eyes, I could see his face. He was a wolf, tall and very good looking with dark hair and hazel eyes. Amelie envisioned him a lot; they’d been intimate. “A man,” I explained, opening my eyes. “He was Amelie’s lover. She had to have mentioned him in her journal.”
Nodding, he pulled the covers away and got out of bed. My eyes shot to his bare ass. I couldn’t take my gaze away from his beautifully sculpted body. Sure, I was used to seeing the men in my pack naked, but I’d never get enough of Sebastian. He slid on a pair of pants and walked over to a table in the corner where the journal sat. He picked it up and tossed it to me.
“I didn’t read any of it. I figured you’d want to be the one to do it,” he murmured.
“Thanks,” I said, holding it to my chest.
He nodded again and walked by me to grab his shirt. “I also talked to Seraphina. She said only someone really powerful can do the kind of linking spell found on that stone.”
I opened the journal to a random page. “Maybe Amelie knows someone like that. I guess we’ll find out.” My stomach growled. “We should probably get something to eat soon.” I hadn’t eaten since we’d left Wyoming.
Sebastian put on his shirt and headed for the door. “As soon as you’re ready, we’ll go.” He glanced back at me one more time before shutting the door behind him.
Looking down at my hands to find dirt still caked under my nails, I realized I desperately needed a shower. Once I was showered and dressed, I tucked the journal under my arm and met Sebastian downstairs.
“I’m ready,” I called out. More snow had started to fall, and it’d do little to help us on our mission, covering up the tracks we’d followed the day before. I looked out the window and groaned. “What are we going to do?”
Sebastian followed my gaze. “Our best bet is to go through the journal today, front to back. And tomorrow, we can return to Amelie’s.”
Nodding, I fully agreed with him. It was going to take all day to get through her journal. Hopping in the car to get something to eat, I opened it up and started reading while Sebastian drove us
