“Goddess, no, don’t fucking thank me. I’ll feel like an even bigger asshole and then I’ll have to start being nice,” he grumbled, finally hugging me back.

Zev was always hard to feel through the bond, but today my brother felt like a storm of emotions threatening to bury him. I pushed all my love for him into our pack through the bond to ease his emotions.

“Come on, let’s run. I’m freezing my ass off,” I said shifting, already feeling a lot warmer.

Zev howled into the night and I joined him. All that would complete this feeling would be Aeon and Katarina. At times like these, I wished she was a shifter. Running with her would be so amazing, but she was perfect just the way she was.

We ran around a few times, my wolf feeling frustrated that we didn’t find anything. He was insistent in running some more, but I didn’t want to waste this time looking for something that was not there. I ran back to my clothes to change when I noticed Katarina and Aeon opening the door.

“Where is Zev?” Aeon asked, looking around.

Zev?I said through our bond. I hadn’t tried it since the last time we had all ran together. I didn’t even know it was a possibility until it had happened. When Katarina heard me the last time, I was relieved but also worried by what it meant.

I’m running back to you; my wolf was particularly interested in the ward by the animals. Something is not right, but I didn’t see anything.

I shifted back so I could tell them.

“Lucien, when you moved my stuff, do you remember seeing a necklace? It had a purple stone on it,” Katarina asked me quickly, looking desperate.

“I don’t remember seeing it, but how big was the stone?” I asked, putting on my pants.

“I mean maybe the size of a nickel, it’s not that big but I need it. My sister—”

“Something doesn’t feel right,” Zev spoke as he walked to us.

“Zev, do you remember seeing a necklace when you were moving my stuff?” Katarina asked quickly. “Please tell me you saw it.”

Zev stayed quiet for a second before he nodded his head.

“Yeah, I put it on the nightstand by the bathroom.” He slid on his pants.

“Oh, my Goddess!” She threw herself at Zev. “Thank you!”

She kissed him on the lips quickly before she raced back inside. Zev looked to be in shock, quickly recovering as we all followed her inside.

“What’s going on?” I asked Aeon.

“I don’t know, we were trying to make the spell work with what we had. She then looked like she was having a vision before she took off to our room.” We climbed the stairs. “Then she kept talking about being able to get what we needed. She just needed to find that necklace.”

“How does a necklace get us what we want?” Zev sounded just as confused as I felt.

“Fuck! Yes!”

We heard Katarina yell.

“I guess she found it,” I said, hoping that meant we could really make this spell work.

“Come on, Serena!” Katarina yelled in frustration. “Son of a bitch, answer me.”

“Who are you talking to?” I asked, as I walked into the room.

“This necklace is like a walkie talkie, if I can get ahold of her, we might be able to have her get the stuff for us, and we won’t have to substitute anything.” She looked excited, but I knew it wasn’t going to last long.

“You want to bring another Belladonna here?” Zev snapped.

“It’s my sister, she will help us,” she snapped back at him.

“You expect us to just let her walk onto the property? What if she brings more Belladonnas?” Zev growled.
