“Katarina, we—”
I pushed up against the tree until I had space to push my leg up and kick off from the tree. He loosened his grip when I tried to yank my arm away, almost dislocating it. My training went out the window as I started to thrash in his hold, tired of this whole ordeal.
That’s when the vision hit as soon as he wrapped his arms around me.
This time a woman was looking through books, but one book in particular was standing out to me. I had seen it before, but I couldn’t figure out where until I realized she was in the library. It was my great aunt. The vision left as quickly as it came.
Her grimoire was here. She had to have hidden it or maybe she left it in the library.
“Katarina!”
I looked at Zev with wide eyes.
“We have to find Ava’s grimoire, it’s in the library,” I said quickly, trying to push him away.
“Wait, when the hell did you get Aeon’s magic?” he growled.
I was about to answer when I saw the necklace. This bastard had left me after I gave him my present and said present was hanging around his neck, WTF!
“If you hadn’t left that night of Yule, you would have been there when I got my first vision,” I snapped, pushing him away. “Don’t act like you are hurt because you didn’t know.”
Turning around to walk back to the library, I only made it a few steps before my legs buckled, and I was forced into a vision.
My aunt wiped her hand on a mirror. The same mirror that was in my bathroom.
“My sweet darling, I hope this finds you. I’ve had visions of you. Everything your grandmother and I have done has led you to this moment. I’m leaving all of my research here in the library for you along with Vivienne’s grimoire.” She held up a black and gold grimoire. “By now, I hope you have read Vivienne’s grimoire. She was tricked, Katarina. This spell is not what they think it is or any of us thought it was. Read my book darling, break the spell, and break the awful path our coven is following.”
“Katarina!” My body was laid down carefully on the floor. “Hellcat.”
The panic in his voice made me snap my eyes open quickly as I tried to get my bearings.
“Zev,” I croaked out, my voice sounding awful.
“Are you ok?” he cupped my face.
“Yeah, I just—”
I didn’t even know what to say. The vision wasn’t long, but it held so much information that I didn’t know how to process it. Zev picked me up with ease, walking me inside and up the stairs. It wasn’t much warmer here, but I didn’t realize how cold I was. He took me to his room, set me on his bed and took my shoes off. He quickly looked me over before going to the fireplace to get it started.
I turned on two candles to give us more light. It was odd that he brought me here, but the room had certainly changed since the last time I had been here. The bed was massive, just as comfortable as my own bed, maybe even a little more comfortable. The room had darker colors, with a lot of wood furniture and in the corner next to the big window was one of the chairs I liked to read in with an ottoman.
“Are you ok?” Zev pulled my attention to him, disappointed that he had pants on, but his dick had to be cold.
I nodded as my cheeks flushed, thinking about Zev in ways I knew I shouldn’t. He sat next to me, grabbing my cold hands, warming them with his own. The action felt intimate, and I didn’t know why.
“You scared me,” he said, looking down at our hands. “Your whole body went limp, and I was barely able to catch you. Your eyes were a vivid violet before they went completely black. I thought Caston had come back.”
I shook my head, hating the concern I heard in his voice.
“I haven’t felt him for weeks,” I said defensively, but then I didn’t feel him the first time. “I think my barriers are strong and I wear this all the time. Aeon gave it to me as Mr. Potter had suggested, to help strengthen my mind.”
I showed him my amethyst necklace.
“That was his mother’s.” Zev stared at it.
“I know. He said she never took it off, and that it was supposed to help with her visions. Amethyst is supposed to help center the mind and ward off any negativity,” I said, trying to figure out why it was such a big deal.
He nodded, but his eyes looked to be far away in a memory.
