“I think it is going to require that we get out of here so I can show you how much the world has changed,” I said, looking at the books they had laid out. “What are you guys looking at?”
“Well, we need to reinforce the wards. No one should be able to come in,” Aeon said, conveniently leaving out that my husband had come in, and he shouldn’t have been able to enter. “I’m worried it might not just be one person next time.”
I nodded, thinking that sounded like something Caston would do. He came from a powerful family. If he felt wronged, I wouldn’t doubt he would use the power from his family to get what he wanted.
“What do you have so far?” I asked.
“I found this.” Lucien showed me a spell.
“I don’t think it's going to be enough,” I said, looking at it. “We need something more specific and we might need you guys to power it up.”
“I was thinking it would have to be tied to us somehow or else it might not be strong enough.” Aeon nodded.
“You would tie it to all of us?’ Lu asked.
“Well, I wouldn’t, the spell needs power, but I think we will cross that hurdle if we can’t find a spell that would work.” I looked over the other text they had laid. “I think we would need something like this.”
I pointed to a book that was on the edge of the table.
“That was my first instinct too, but it might need a power source,” he said, giving me the book so I could have a better look.
I looked it over, seeing it was going to need a decent source of magic that no one had.
“We could use Maybon as our power source or a full moon. If we can tie the ward to you guys then maybe the power of the moon can boost the power too,” I said, thinking out loud.
“Maybon won’t give us a lot of power; would a full moon be better?” Aeon asked, standing next to me looking at the book. “What if we charged a circle—”
“Wouldn’t that take too long?” Lucien interrupted him. “Maybon is less than a week away and I think that might be too long to wait.”
“You’re right, we can’t wait,” Aeon looked worried. “We would still need to convince Zev if this is the spell we go with.”
“Maybe we can look for the rest of the hour and see what we can come up with,” I said, looking up at Aeon feeling Lucien walk closer to us. “Then if we don’t find anything, one of you guys will have to go talk to him.”
“I think we can start looking tomorrow.” Lucien stood behind me pushing my hair to the side to kiss my mark.
My body instinctively shivered with anticipation.
“Lu, we can’t put this off any longer,” Aeon said, looking at us with longing in his gaze. “We don’t have all day.”
Aeon stood in front of me looking torn on what to do, but I could see the worry on his face. He didn’t want to wait just in case Caston came back before they were ready.
“Once we find the spell we can have some down time.” I turned around to look at Lucien.
He looked disappointed, but he kissed my cheek.
“When I walk you to your room I expect you to let me give you a good night kiss, but not on these lips,” he whispered, making me shiver in anticipation. I didn’t know if I could wait almost a whole hour before my good night kiss and now I probably wouldn’t think of anything else.
Lucien smirked at me when he leaned back, then walked away from me. I caught Aeon’s heated gaze on me and I knew he heard everything.
“Come on, let's get to work so we can keep you safe,” Aeon said, looking back down at a text.
I noticed he said we instead of I, and I couldn’t help but actually feel safe for once.

Iwoke up to rain drenching me. The nights were getting cooler and the rain felt amazing. Waking up while it's hot and muggy is not the best. Once winter arrives, I’ll wake up to freezing temps that will make my dick feel like it’s about to fall off.
