“Okay. Now that’s some cool shit.” Rafe clapped his hands together.
Greyson shot him a disapproving stare.
“What? Bruh, that was hella cool. I mean, it would be pretty scary if she wasn’t on our side.”
Greyson rolled his eyes and looked to Samantha with his no-nonsense demeanor frozen in place. “So are they good?”
Julian blew out a breath. “Hey. I was having a moment.”
“It was awesome.” Cassia wore a huge smile.
“It’s protection,” Samantha explained. “All the goodness. The pure essential life from the Goddess. But it all comes from within you both. It’s a physical manifestation of what’s already in you. It’s an amplification of the light. But none of this…not the salt … not this spell is forever.”
“It buys us time.” Julian said.
“There’s something I need to tell you. This.” Samantha looked into the bowl and turned it around to reveal a letter formation at the bottom. A. “This. I don’t know if the Goddess intends this as a warning or advice. You may want to reach out to the fae to see if he has knowledge of these hellhounds. There’s a creature in this town that understands hellfire but he’s?—"
“Kellan. Yeah, I know him.” He was dangerous but useful at times.
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea,” Greyson advised.
“Kellan used to keep to Frenchman, but he’s been moving every few months. Kade tracks him,” Luca divulged. “Personally I don’t trust his ass. He gets people into too many situations making promises he can’t keep.”
“We could rush him without warning. Demand a response about what’s going on with the hellhounds. Do it on neutral territory so he can’t try dragging one of us into his fiery play pits,” Julian suggested.
“It’s on,” Rafe said in agreement.
“I’ve a mind to strangle the life out of that fae,” Greyson growled.
“Not before we get answers. We start with Kellan and then go to Idaho. Track down who was in that house. This shit is coming to an end. No more fires. No more chasing. They aren’t getting Cassia . They are the hunted now, boys and girls. I’m putting an end to this bullshit.”
“Same.” Cassia agreed. “I’m done running. I want to fight these things.”
“Believe in yourself,” Samantha told her. “These hellhounds are coming to you for a reason. Trust your instincts. You’ve got a couple of days until they wake up and you lose your protective shields. Until then try to meditate. Maybe something will come to you.”

“I could have flashed us all over to Logan,” Greyson complained. “I don’t like sitting in the back.”
“Don’t be a baby, dude. You get to hang back here with me. Relax,” Rafe told the ancient vampire.
“I offered to switch seats,” Cassia reminded him.
“No, no, no. You need this time close to your … you know, near Julian.” Greyson rolled his eyes.
“You guys are the ones with the super juice. Y’all look like you’re glowing like Christmas bulbs,” Rafe told them.
“Easy.” Julian smiled.
“It felt so good, though. I feel like I could go anywhere or do anything.” Cassia’s smile brimmed ear to ear.
“Ah, that’s good because we’re going to see an Alpha, He’s having a get together and invited us.”
“Logan?” she asked.
“Yes, have you met him?” Julian asked, a low vibe of jealousy pitted in his stomach. He didn’t want her anywhere around any wolves. Mark her, his wolf told him. Julian shook it off and concentrated on driving.
“Of course I know of him, but I keep a low profile down here. I don’t shift in front of others.”
