Headlights shine through the back window as a car drives by, reminding me where we are.
“I can’t believe we just did that!” I say.
Aksel leans forward and kisses me so I can taste myself on him. I’m sure he can still taste himself too.
He straightens my dress, opens the door, and picks me up before carrying me around to the passenger side and putting me in.
“I will make up how I’ve treated you on my knees for the rest of our life if I have to. You deserve nothing less.”
I smile, appreciating this apology. I wouldn’t mind a few more.
I spend the entire drive back with his hand drawing circles on my leg and when we get home, Blaze and Felix’s eyes flash when they smell what we’ve been up to.
It’s perfect.

Anna
Aksel walks in and crosses his arms.
“I went to see the Garmentas,” Aksel says.
“How did it go?” Griffyn asks.
“They were suspicious and kept quiet until I mentioned my father sending me to connect with them. After that, they told me someone will be in touch.”
“I guess we will see then,” I say.
“I have news. The book isn’t in public access but it is in the underground library used to protect and preserve books,” Felix folds his arms.
“Isn’t it impossible to get in there?” Griffyn asks.
“That’s why it wasn’t good news,” Felix says.
“There might be a chance I can get in as a councilman,” Aksel offers.
“Call and find out right now,” Blaze demands.
Aksel stiffens at the urgency in Blaze’s voice but pulls out his phone and moves away from us.
The rest of us just wait for him. Griffyn wraps me up in his arms and peppers kisses along my neck. Felix is leaning against the wall but Rion and Blaze are watching the way Griffyn is touching me.
I offer a hand to each of them and wait to see what happens. Rion takes my hand immediately. It feels like going back in time to before Killian came into my life.
Blaze is slower but when he finally takes my hand, his grip is strong.
Felix is grinning like crazy from his spot at the wall.
When Aksel comes back he notices the position but doesn’t comment. “I can go today but I can only bring two people with me.”
“It would be smartest to take Rion, but he can’t be seen in public,” I say.
“You’ll have to find the spell that includes those ingredients without me.” Rion is frowning.
I know he’ll be so grateful when he can exist without Killian bringing him down.
“I’ll take Anna and Blaze with me. We can do it.”
