“Can someone fuckin’ do something with her so we can find my goddamn daughter?” Cyrus snarls, and I shoot him a glare.
“We’ll find her. Give me a minute to go lay Karsyn back down,” I snap, not taking kindly to my brother’s demanding tone. He’s not the Alpha here, and he sure as hell isn’t a part of this club.
“Daddy.” The trembling in my daughter’s voice is the only thing that cuts through the haze starting to overtake me where my brother is concerned.
“It’s okay, Sage,” I tell her, calming my voice as I glance at her. “I promise. I’ll help find your cousin. Just let me put Karsyn in my room, okay?”
“Okay.” Sage nods, her expression one of confusion and fear. She doesn’t understand what’s going on, and she’s scared out of her mind because she and Jazmine have all but been raised together despite the rivalry between my club and Cyrus’s. Mostly because of my brother and me, not just the clubs.
Turning away from those in the room, I ignore the scent of question, confusion, anger, and fear, and carry Karsyn back to my room. My head was still spinning from the vision she shared with me. I didn’t even know that witches could do that. Then again, as I’ve learned, she’s more than just an earth witch, and I got to admit it’s damn freaky because if what conclusion comes to mind, it’s more than imperative that Karsyn is protected. Her and my daughter both. And I can only assume this other woman she mentioned is just as important as my niece.
Karsyn said the other woman was Cyrus’s mate. Ironic as it is it’s still enough to fuck with anyone’s head. Cyrus is a single dad just as I am. Maybe fate has a funny way of going about things.
Yeah, right.
What I still don’t understand is what she meant about Death coming. Who the hell are we looking for? I understand from her vision that whoever he is, he’s powerful.
In my room, I lay Karsyn’s small form in the middle of the unmade bed and pull the covers over her to keep her warm. Last night, carrying her back here her body is definitely not like a shifter’s. The blood that runs through her veins isn’t warming as others who are half-shifters. Then again, I didn’t know witches and shifters could mate until yesterday.
Fuck.It’s completely unheard of.
Leaning down, I brace an arm on either side of Karsyn and dip my face down into her neck, smelling the sweet floral scent that seems to be all her. It’s unique, and already there’s a hint of mine mixing with hers. I haven’t even marked her, yet that scent is there as if I had begun the process.
Pushing away from her, I shove thoughts of her and this being a mating to the back of my mind. Right now, it needs to be about finding my niece.
I need to get to the school, making my way back to where everyone is waiting. First thing, I meet Cyrus’s gaze.
“I do this my way. You don’t like it, get fucked, you got me?” I don’t bother waiting for him to answer as I turn toward my brothers. “Dane, Tucker, Tobias, get to the school, see if you can’t pick up the scent trail.”
“Got it, Prez,” Tobia grumbles.
“We’ll find her,” Tucker growls, his voice taking on the sound of the leopard inside him. He’s not a shifter to fuck with. He’s one of my best trackers and damn protective when it comes to kids. Secretly, I think he’s Sage’s favorite brother in the club.
Dane steps forward so that no others could hear him. “Don’t leave my sister unprotected.”
“Not leaving her without someone watching over her.” My wolf wouldn’t let me even if I wanted to. He and I are both in agreement when it comes to our little Syn.
Syn.
Yeah, it suits her. She’s definitely got a body meant for sinning, that’s for sure.
“I’ll sit with her,” Daniel announces, and without waiting for my agreement, he turns and heads in the direction I’d just left.
I let out a heavy breath and look at my little girl once more. Holding my arms out, I motion for her to come to me. Sage doesn’t disappoint and rushes to me, throwing herself in my arms. Lifting her into my arms, I inhale the scent that is solely hers. But it’s not just her scent that I catch. It’s the faint hint of a blood witch, meaning one had been close to her.
“You’re going to save Jazmine, aren’t you, Daddy?” she utters, wrapping those little arms of hers around my neck, her head laying against my shoulder.
“Yeah, sweetheart, you’re gonna stick close to Big Daddy while I help your uncle find your cousin,” I answer, give her a squeeze, and set her back on her feet. “Until I get back, you don’t go anywhere, even around here, without Big Daddy right by your side.”
“I’ll take her back to the house,” Big Daddy states, wrapping an arm around her and tucking her into his side.
“No, keep her here,” I command, not liking the idea of her being away from where I know she’s safe.
“Not with that witch . . .”
The growl that rumbles in my chest, loud enough to halt Big Daddy from speaking further. He might be an Alpha, but he knows I top him. My strength is unlike any other. It’s another reason Cyrus and I never got along. He and I both are from the same cloth and would end up killing each other because of it.“Karsyn is more than a fuckin’ witch,” I snarl, leveling my dad and brother with a glare. “Not only is she my mate, she’s an earth witch blessed by the moon and gifted in ways I can’t even begin to explain to you all.”
“How the fuck do you know she’s not tricking you?” Cyrus demands. “That she’s not a part of why my daughter is now being taken?”
