“Obviously.” Griffyn rolls his eyes.
We don’t cross any other traps as we make it inside and start looking through the house.
There is what looks like an altar set up in the formal living room. Bowls, a fire pit, and the missing artifacts sit there.
“He was so close to completing this spell,” I observe.
“Scary close,” Anna agrees.
The book is sitting open on the top of the altar with the mate bond spell open.
Aksel gathers up the six artifacts and I help him carry them all.
“Burn it, Blaze,” Anna says.
Blaze tosses the book into the fireplace and shoots fire at it. The book burns in seconds until there is nothing left and no one can use it in the future.
A weight is lifted off my shoulders as I feel certain my mate bond with Anna is secure. My animal is less agitated with that knowledge. He hasn’t been calm since we learned about this threat.
The mate bond is everything to him.
“Let’s get out of here,” I say, grabbing Anna’s hand and pulling her towards the door.
This space is tainted and I want nothing to do with it.
Everyone follows me out and to the other side of the wards. We grab our clothes and go back to the house.
“It’s time we go, so drop off the winter clothes, and let’s go. Anna and Rion, we won’t be long. If for some reason, it takes longer than two hours, come looking,” Aksel says.
I don’t think there’s anything waiting for us but it’s always best to be prepared.
Just like the day we got assigned the case that brought us to Anna, we get to the supernatural council’s headquarters.
It’s in an isolated part of Oregon, away from humans, with nothing on the outside to identify it as a magical building. Its inconspicuousness ends with its size, ten stories tall, and takes up fifteen acres.
A man that smells like magic leads us back to a room with the director standing in it.
“Boys, glad to have you back here with us. Report.”
He has our written report in his hand with all the details.
Aksel takes the lead. “We located the vampire and had to track his whereabouts. As you know, there were hostages found along the way that have now been freed. We discovered one more hostage that was unexpected. The vampire had a twin whose name is Rion and we discovered the assigned vampire was Killian. He has now been killed by Blaze’s dragon fire and will no longer be an issue for our community.”
We need to clear Rion’s name so he can have complete freedom. He deserves it after everything he’s been through.
“That’s a lot. You have proof of the death I assume?”
Aksel presents the picture we pulled from security footage of only Aksel and Blaze standing over the body as Blaze shoots fire. We couldn’t present the video since it had Anna and Rion on it as well.
“What about this twin? You’re certain he won’t be a problem?” Director asks.
“Yes, we have spent time questioning him and working to understand the situation. He was a victim of his brother for a long time,” Aksel explains.
We need Rion to be cleared of any suspicion so he can live a normal life with us.
“None of this was reported at the time?”
We broke protocol by keeping this information to ourselves and that could become a problem here. It would be the director’s right to discipline us but I would do it again for Anna.
