Normally, I admired Vi’s spitfire energy. That wasn’t going to be my style, it seemed. Ice settled over me like a glacier sliding into place. It cooled the anger Bianca had stirred. I was oddly calm for once.
“I am not walking around, ripping out souls. I am doing my job and fixing what everyone else is breaking. If you have a problem with that, then maybe you should be out there trying to figure out whoever ripped Vince’s soul apart. It was a witch, after all. Wasn’t it?”
In Bianca’s case, looks could kill. I felt her magic trying to penetrate my own ward, but it was no use. She couldn’t get in anymore.
Ryder laughed. “I don’t know why you insist on messing with them. I thought you would have learned your lesson from Ness, but it seems like you want to poke every hornet’s nest you find. These girls are power houses that can kick your ass to the moon and back.”
“She doesn’t trust us,” Maddox said.
“To be fair, I wouldn’t trust anyone using soul magic, either.” I sighed and tried to run a hand through my hair. I was surprised when my fingers caught on a braid.
Maddox must have done my hair to keep it from getting too tangled. The realization made me want to kick everyone out of my room. This was getting out of hand. All I wanted was some alone time and a shower.
And maybe a pizza.
I leveled my gaze at Bianca again. “I’m not trying to cause harm. Can you trust that much?”
She exhaled through her nose. “Fine. Just know that I’m warding my house against you.”
Bianca shoved past Ryder and vanished. It seemed that the trouble with Vince had Bianca shaken. I wondered if she’d only now realized how much trouble we’d all been in.
And it was only going to get worse from here.
