“She is cruel,” he says, the smile now gone. “You have seen the terror she caused here. Go and fix her. She’s all wrong right now.”

“And what if we can’t? What if we have to kill her?”

“Tatiana,” Tanya yells at me. “We willneverkill her. Think of your baby.”

“Okay, what if we have to imprison her?”

“You won’t be able to do that again. She would never fall for it, and she is way too strong now to let that happen.” John walks over and growls at Valefar, who isn’t affected by him. “You need to get her to deal, and I’m afraid to say it, but I don’t know if you can.”

“So why come to us?” I ask him, and he looks over his shoulder.

“That york that has been following you is closer now, and I would prefer you to reach your sister before it kills you all.” He claps his hands. “Up now. I would suggest you run.”

I slide my shoes back on and do just that.

ChapterTwenty-Three

TALIA

“Someone is coming,” Cinitta says as she steps out the front door.

I get up and follow her. “Who?”

“Your sisters,” she replies, unsure. “With the wolves,” she adds.

“We should welcome them.” I smile as I head to the barrier to greet them. My sisters don’t even bother smiling when they see me.

That’s not very nice.

As they approach, Tatiana tentatively extends her hand out and touches the barrier. It shakes under her hand but doesn’t move.

“Are you going to let us in?” she asks.

“Why are you here?” I ask. “This is the witches’ quadrant.”

“You opened a portal,” one of the wolves yells, and I can hear the anger in her voice.

“I did no such thing.” I smile.

Tatiana glares at me.

“You did, and you let something into our world.”

“Like?” I ask with a lift of my brow.

“A york.”

“Oh, really?” I look back to Cinitta. “Do you know what a york is, Cinitta?” She shakes her head. “It’s something that can take the form of someone you loved and lost in order to suck your soul from your body and kill you.”

“That doesn’t sound good,” Cinitta replies.

“It’s killed half our people,” Tatiana adds.

“Your people?” I tilt my head. “Are we not your people anymore?”

“You know you are.”

“But you said…yourpeople.”
