Celebrating our win against Killian was amazing and completely necessary. You have to celebrate your wins otherwise you’ll get lost in the missions.
And I am absolutely considering the drugs and stalker missions.
But it’s time to get back to work and solve these issues.
“The director has called us in to report on the case. I submitted our written report but he’s requiring a verbal one as well,” Aksel tells us over breakfast the morning after we played poker.
“Is that going to be a problem?” Anna asks.
“No, but we need to recover the stolen items to close out the case completely. We should use the absque stone to get into Killian’s house and locate the items.”
“You can return the artifacts but that spell book needs to be destroyed,” Anna says, her voice serious.
“Agreed,” I say. “We can get the stone from close to my home.”
“Let’s go do it then. We have to report tonight so we need to get going if we want to get everything done in time.”
We all finish eating and dress in warm clothes. We have all sorts of gear when on missions and I already got Anna the right clothes when we went to meet my mom. We transport to the mountains by my home. My mom is going to kill me if she finds out I came back with my mate-in-laws and Anna without telling her.
She’s going to love all of them and try to smother them with love. I should probably bring them here soon considering how many of them could use that.
I lead them through the snowy terrain until we reach the spot I used to sneak out to see when I was a kid. We slip inside the cave entrance.
The absque stone glows from where it is growing on the walls of the cave.
“It’s gorgeous,” Anna says in awe.
“It doesn’t look real.” Griffyn spins so he can see every angle.
It looks like the moon is glowing from within every area of the cave. The angles on the stone reflect that light into little kaleidoscopes of colors. It’s incredible.
“We are some of the few people who will ever see this. Not even everyone from my village risks coming here to see it,” I tell them.
“I hate to cut this short but we still have to go to Killian’s house,” Aksel says.
“We can come back one day,” I promise.
I reach up and use my shifter strength to break a piece of the absque stone off. The glow fades the longer it’s sitting in my hand.
We leave the cave and transport again to what was Killian’s house. As soon as we get to the warmer weather everyone strips their jackets off.
“Are you going to take it now?” I ask Rion and gesture to the castle.
He shivers. “I don’t want anything to do with him but maybe I’ll sell it and buy a different spot in Ireland that we can visit. If Anna is interested of course.”
Rion wraps his arm around her shoulder and she smiles up at him.
“I would love to have a place in your home country to visit.”
When we are done dealing with her stalker, we’re going to need a place to live. To plan our future in. I’m going to have to talk to Aksel about it because knowing him, he already has plans drawn up.
Blaze holds the stone and walks through the barrier. It disintegrates for him and the rest of us follow through the hole.
“That emphasizes why this stone is illegal,” I say, looking back at that ward that broke down like it was nothing.
“We can’t let anyone know we had this,” Aksel points out.
