her explode and destroy everything in the vicinity.
She fell to her knees, squeezing her eyes shut. Her breaths came out fast and labored. Zoe put a hand on her back, and Willa flinched, willing herself to resist letting the surge of power free.
Calm down , she chanted inside her head. Calm down.
“Willa,” Kristoff called.
The blood drained from her face when she opened her eyes. Josef let out a cry as Kristoff stuck Josef in the heart with a piece of wood from a broken table.
Before their eyes, Josef’s body crumbled and turned into dust, dust that littered the floor and faded within seconds.
She flickered a look up to the vampire she loved.
“We don’t need him. I know where Lukas is.”
All around her were dead bodies. Her nose twitched at the smell of their souls. She sucked in a breath of the intoxicating scent.
She looked down at her hands as they began to shake. Her palms started to itch with a hunger that she’d never revealed but knew Kristoff would understand. She could relate to the vampires in more ways than one. Immortality was expected of a witch that had reached Grand Caster Elite status through experience, pure birth, and sacrifice. But this—what fought to escape each time death was near, was...unique.
Falling to her knees, she tossed her head back as tall black shadows stepped from her body, multiplying as they did their work. She shook with need, whimpering at the anticipation.
There was one thing that separated Willa’s Caster abilities from Stephanie’s, Zoe’s, and countless witches all over the world. One that hadn’t existed in centuries until Willa was born. One ability Lukas had used against her for so long.
Now, she would use it for more than her escape from him.
Willa would use it against him.
Willa’s blue eyes glowed a bright gold as she lifted both arms.
“Thank you for this gift,” she whispered to the spirits that guided her, and the shadows that served her.
Each soul from every massacred human and vampire that surrounded her was claimed by her shadows, and brought back to her in a funnel of power that absorbed into her pores. She hissed at the sensation that filled her.
Damn, it felt better than sex.
When she opened her eyes, Zoe and Kristoff stared at her in silence, their eyes wide as they watched her glow intensify to a nearly blinding light.
Once it faded, Willa cracked her neck and stood.
A satisfied smile came to her face as she hovered above the ballroom’s floor.
The vampire king of the West may have captured the queen of the witches once before. But he would now pay the price.
With his soul.
“Let’s go.”
