She kissed me on my lips, catching me off guard before she grabbed the grimoire. When she opened it, it was blank, she pulled a knife from her thigh and sliced her hand, letting a few drops of blood hit the first page. It shimmered while words slowly started to appear on the page.

“I hope those brutes have been treating you kindly. If not, I have a spell that will cause them to have boils on their butts, and not just on the outside.” Katarina read and she laughed.

She looked relieved.

“Well, it seems we have some more studying to do.” She smiled at me, looking hopeful.

“Yeah, it does,” I said, as we climbed down to Lucien and Aeon.

“Jackpot boys! Let’s get the fuck out of here,” Katarina said, looking excited.

Ava’s book ended up being a gold mine of research. That night we found so much information that we had no idea what to do with it. But my happiness at finding the book was overshadowed when I found out all of my stuff had been moved to the pack room as they liked to call it.

I didn’t even let Lucien and Aeon sleep with me when they said they thought it was a good idea and confessed to moving my things a couple of days ago. Even though it was nice being able to have so much room for all of us, hearing that it was actually meant for Vivienne just gave me a weird feeling. I wouldn’t admit it, but I did enjoy having a space to call our own and having a fireplace in your room was amazing. The weather seemed to be getting colder and colder, so it was nice being able to walk around the warm room without having to run to my bathroom to pee.

Over the last few days we saw Ava had narrowed it down to several spells, but she wasn’t sure what would work the best and she didn’t have the guys. She didn’t have the original spell, but she had something that she thought was similar to Vivienne’s grimoire.

“Ava was a genius,” Aeon said, as he looked over one of the spells we had narrowed it down to. “She was extremely detailed. Her ingenuity was amazing.”

I smiled at the awe in his voice.

“I don’t understand why she didn’t tell us this is what she was doing.” Zev stated, pacing in front of the fire, looking through her grimoire. Ava kept a very detailed journal, explaining what happened almost every day, and Zev had taken to reading it.

I snorted at his comment, earning a glare from him.

“I mean, do you blame her?” I raised my brows at Zev.

“Maybe it would have been different.” He shrugged his shoulders.

“Different how?” I was irritated.

“She could have been our mate instead.” He narrowed his eyes at me.

Jealousy flared through me that he would say something like that.

“Zev,” Aeon chided.

“I’m just saying she could have been our mate; I mean she did have magic and—”

The sound of my chair scooting back up stopped his speaking.

“I’m sure she would rather have died by her own hand than to have to deal with you,” I snapped, walking to the table we had snacks on, praying I didn’t sound jealous.

“I’m sure she would have rather died coming on my cock.”

I turned around to glare at him.

“She can’t choke on two inches, Zev.” I rolled my eyes hearing one of the others chuckle even though we all knew he had the biggest, and was, the biggest dick.

“Well, you certainly begged for my two-inch cock like you were a bitch in heat.”

This asshole. So, I chose violence. I flung two knives at him anticipating he would try and catch them, when one hit his shoulder. I threw one more hoping it would hit something. He wasn’t expecting the last one I threw; it embedded itself into his forearm.

He growled, seeing him yanking at them gave me satisfaction that he was bleeding.
