How?
She explained about Alexis then told her the plan.
Oh, my God. Alexis is alive? I hunted for her in the future for years but couldn’t find her. Still, I had the oddest sense she wasn’t dead. So, how did you locate her?
Natalie heard the shower shut off and turned to watch Grant open the door. Magnificent was too small a word. She had to shift her gaze away from him to stay focused on the conversation. I’m convinced it’s my connection to, and now bonding with, one of the finest men I’ve ever known. I have odd powers and manifestations these days.
Extraordinary. All right, I’ll alert my guards. Let me know if you need back up.
For some reason, a certainty came over Natalie. I can’t explain it, but this needs to happen between Kryder and us. We’ve got this. Besides, I have a ghost helping me out.
Right. Grant’s wife.
She’s been wonderful. Essential.
All right. Let me know when you have control of Kryder.
This time when she disconnected, she asked Grant if he’d been afflicted with the conversation. As she spoke, she headed to the shower.
“Not at all.”
“Good. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
She traded places with Grant, wrapped her hair in a towel then hopped beneath the spray. She washed up as fast as she could then made quick work of getting dressed.
Grant, however, stood staring at his ruined leathers. “Shit.”
Natalie hurried to the closet. “I forgot to say that I had Ryan send some of your clothes to the compound earlier, while we were in the ER.”
“You are an amazing woman.”
She chuckled. “Thank you for that, but I think I’m just really, really practical. Speaking of which. We’d better go.” She’d had only enough time to run a brush twice through her hair and pull it back in a ponytail.
She dressed in double time in her usual tunic and leggings, then swept to the front door where he was waiting. She stuck close to his heels.
Agnes stood by the tall front door of the compound when they entered the back of the building by way of the terrace. The invisibility spell held so Agnes wouldn’t be able to see them.
Natalie spoke to her telepathically and let her know they were ready to leave secretly but to be sure to bring her guards in.
She opened the door then waved her people back into the building. Each of four guards trotted in swiftly. When they were well away from the door, Natalie took Grant’s hand and slipped around the small group and crossed the threshold.
Once more, she contacted Agnes. We’re walking through now. Feel free to close the door tight behind us.
Got it. Just let me know if you need my help. I have a small army ready to go to war with Kryder.
I know you do. I’ll let you know how things progress.
She stood beside Grant just off the walkway where one of the guards would usually be standing. Everything glowed which told her their invisibility spell held.
She released her wolf and watched as the iridescent creature began pacing through the yard. Grant, can you see my wolf?
Yes. I’m watching her. I know she sees things you and I can’t.
Like invisible wolves and fae.
Exactly.
Her wolf stopped suddenly and lifted her snout to the sky.
