As soon as we’re outside any transportation blockers we go back to the house.

Everyone is gathered waiting for us in the living room. I hop into Felix’s arms and pull Griffyn into the embrace as well.

“I can feel your anxiety. What’s wrong, Kitten?” Felix asks.

Having their touch helps me push the worry away. We need to focus and deal with this, not freak out.

“We figured out what Killian’s plan is,” Aksel informs them.

“What is it?” Rion asks.

I untangle myself from Griffyn and Felix before moving to Rion. I hug him as well and the last of my worry is gone.

“The spell is to destroy mate bonds at a large scale.” Blaze crosses his arms and widens his stance like he’s ready to fight Killian right now.

“What the hell?”

“Fuck!”

“That’s possible?”

Everyone is understandably upset.

“Yes, it’s possible. The spell was sitting in that book. When we finish Killian, we need to make sure his copy of the book is destroyed so no one can attempt to do this again,” Aksel says.

I completely agree. We need to stop this from happening now and forever.

“Mate bonds are sacred and should be protected at all costs.” Felix keeps his eyes glued to mine while he says it.

“We need to know what ingredients he already has. If we can determine what he needs then we can stop him,” Rion says.

“And potentially find him,” Griffyn says.

“We know what he has from Eugine. Should we show the items to Michael and see if any are familiar? I doubt he knew much about what heirlooms his family had,” I say.

Everyone thinks about it. Michael really won’t be that helpful. He’s just too young.

“Maybe they had their items listed online for collectors. A lot of elite supernaturals boast about what they have even if they never plan to sell it.”

“Where would we find that? It can’t just be online normally, right?”

“Right. But, if you know where to look then you can find all sorts of supernatural stuff online. Aksel, can you get into this sort of thing?”

“Yes.” Aksel grabs his computer and starts typing something in that looks nothing like a normal website.

It doesn’t start with WWW or HTTP and it doesn’t end with .com or any other common domain. It’s a random series of letters, numbers, and symbols.

I’m shocked when a website pops up showing listings for different websites. Titles like mages for hire and job listings display.

Aksel goes past them all and clicks on a symbol of a vase near the bottom.

A blank page pops up and Aksel types in another series of characters before he’s admitted to a page all about artifacts and collections. I’m impressed that Aksel knows how to get here.

“Does anyone have access to this?” I ask.

“No, it’s password-protected and a secret. It’s designed so that only those they deem worthy can get in. I only have access because of my family name.”

He scrolls through the page until he finds what he’s looking for. The Shoft family’s collection.
