“This is the very last thing we need to be dealing with. Killian is out there planning to destroy mate bonds, we need to keep our focus on that and ignore this attention-seeking idiot,” I say.
The guys are all glaring at the envelope that was slid under the door.
“We can’t let it go,” Aksel grits out.
“He’s right. This person shot you, they’re a threat whether we want to deal with them or not.” Griffyn’s voice is tight as he talks about that incident.
“We all need to find a way to get a lead on this stalker,” Felix says.
“I just don’t want this to become our focus,” I try again, ignoring the sharp pain shooting through my skull.
Based on the tension and fury radiating off all of them, there’s no point trying to be reasonable.
“We are your mates, Spark. We can’t ignore this threat to you,” Blaze says while he stares into my eyes intently.
“Fine, but Killian is priority one.” This time I’m not trying to convince them, I’m telling them.
“Yes, he’s priority one but if we have an opening to deal with the stalker then we take it,” Aksel agrees.
I nod.
“At the risk of your fury turning on me, I can feel your pain, Anna,” Felix says gently.
“I hate it,” Griffyn adds.
I huff.
A sharp knife digs into my skull and I work hard not to bend over in pain.
“That’s it.” Felix picks me up and pulls me tight to his body. He starts moving towards the stairs to take me up.
“No, the artifact. I-”
Aksel cuts me off. “We will finish looking. You go get some blood and sleep. That’s an order.”

After Anna drinks from me and falls asleep, I sneak back downstairs to help the others.
“Felix, I think we found it,” Griffyn tells me as soon as I come into the kitchen.
“The artifact?” I ask.
“Yes,” Rion answers.
I lean on Aksel’s chair where he’s looking at a familiar object. A bowl with runes carved into the red clay. It’s listed as an unidentified object which explains why we couldn’t find it.
“Where is it?”
“The Reme’s have it,” Aksel says darkly.
“This artifact is sitting in the demon elder’s home?” I ask in disbelief.
Why is everything so complicated?
“That explains why Killian doesn’t have it yet. The only place more heavily guarded than their home is Killian’s fortress.”
