My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest when they start walking to the back of the library. They pass Blaze and Aksel, then another one hundred shelves, at least, before stopping. There are no identifying markers on it but the keeper knows where they’re going.
They pull a book off the shelf and hand it to me before walking away.
I’m afraid to look down and see if this is the book we need. It seems impossible that the keeper helped me.
I brace myself to look down and see that the title says Magus Liber Carminum.
Elation fills me.
We are finally going to get ahead of Killian. I can feel it.
Blaze and Aksel followed the Keeper and I. Aksel looks shocked at what just happened.
“Is that the book?” Blaze asks.
“Yes! The Keeper showed it to me.”
“How did you convince them to help? It felt impossible.” I guarantee Aksel is annoyed that the Keeper ignored him but helped me.
“I told them why we needed it,” I confess. “They seemed concerned when I said the name, which makes me worried about what’s inside here.”
We walk to a table and carefully open the book. The book has to stay here so we need to find what we’re looking for before we are kicked out.
The pages feel fragile but I know they’re protected by magic.
We look for the names of the artifacts on each page of the spell. The entire thing is in Latin which complicates things.
When we talked about the book being in Latin and how we would read it, the guys were all thinking of magical solutions like a spell to translate it.
I used my previous human life to solve the problem simply with a translator app.
“There!” Blaze points to the Confractus Vas listed on this page.
Further down the page the Factorem Larva and Slabrira Nasc are listed as well.
“This is it,” I say.
I pull out my phone and use a translator app to read the page.
I might throw up at what I see.
“Is Killian… Is he trying to destroy mate bonds?” My voice shakes as I ask.
I grab Aksel and Blaze’s hands to squeeze them tight.
“It appears that way,” Aksel says, voice hard. “Take a picture and let’s see if these items are in any other spells. Maybe it isn’t this.”
I snap a few pictures just to be sure we can read every word.
The artifacts aren’t mentioned anywhere else and my dread only grows.
“Let’s get back to the others,” I say.
I want to get back to my mates and hold them close while this fear smothers me.
Aksel nods.
The stairs take forever and I have to remind myself to stay calm when it takes so long to get out.
