Natalie would have been freaked out, certainly become pissed, if she hadn’t already come to an understanding about who Landris was. She understood him or thought she did. Just to be sure, she accessed her wolf. Even her vision changed as she saw what her wolf saw. Everything seemed expanded with colors. She saw that Landris pulsed with the energy of a specific spell.
She spoke her mind. “You don’t fool me, Landris. All these years, you’ve hidden behind your spells. You don’t even know who you are anymore or what you really want. Survival, yes. Possibly wealth. But there’s more here because my wolf can see you.”
He moved c
loser to her and peered into her eyes. She had never seen such pure gray irises before but with a thin white line rimming them. His power swelled over her once more.
He used another spell and pushed at her mind, trying to gain access. But her wolf, whom she’d started to think of as a type of bodyguard, merely growled softly at him.
Without thinking about it too much, she focused on the wizard and though it cramped the muscles of her back, she allowed herself to glimpse his future, though what returned to her seemed more like a vision of his life. She saw a woman haunting him. “She’s coming, Landris, and she’s beautiful. She’s with you now, but she lives in the shadows. One day she won’t, then all your spells will have no effect. Nothing will be able to protect your heart. Nothing.”
His brows rose. “You’ve seen all this?”
“Yes.”
Landris’s lips quirked. “I can see why Kryder wants you. Few women have your brand of insight or courage. So, you’ve seen my future then?”
“Only a very small part.”
“What else did you sense?”
“How dangerous you are, yet vulnerable. But we need the invisibility spell. Please help us.”
“You’ll have to stop me from leaving.”
“What do you mean?”
“You heard me. If you want my help, you must prevent me from leaving this room.”
Panic shot through her veins. One quick glance down the space showed her there were at least six exits. How the hell were they supposed to stop him from leaving?
She glanced back at him. “How?”
His smile grew broader. He shrugged his shoulders, then slowly started to fade.
Grant caught her arm. “We have to track him.”
“How?”
“The future? Can you do it?”
She nodded. “I’ll try. But we need him, Grant.”
“I know.”
She switched to telepathy. As soon as I find the direction he intends to go, you must intercept him.
Understood. I’m at your command.
This was on her, on her ability to do the most difficult aspect of her alter faeness.
As Landris faded completely, his expression of ‘there’s no way you can stop me’, fired Natalie up. She mentally slid sideways into the future, ignoring the usual aches and pains. She didn’t see Landris at all, not even in a future peek. But she saw Grant’s location and that was all she needed to see.
Go to the elevator door, face away from it and push hard.
Grant flew like a shot. She watched him shove and sure enough he connected with something solid.
Natalie didn’t wait. This wizard was powerful and gifted.
