Chapter 140

I wanted that, too, more than I’d ever wanted anything, but as soon as I turned the water off, all my
fears. crept back in.
Without a cure for Braden, I didn’t see how we could have a happy ending.
We stepped out of the shower and tossed on some robes Rhiannon had left for us
“How are we going to get out of this?” Katie asked, searching my face for answers I didn’t have.
I took her hands in mine, trying to make my voice sound confident. “Maybe it’s better if I turn myself into
the Council,” I said. “Maybe they’ll thank me for taking care of their little vampire problem.”
Katie looked horrified, but it seemed like the best option we had left. Perhaps I could even convince the
Council that Xander and Zane were the reason Braden and I crossed paths in the first place. Then if I
went down, at least I could take the Constantines down with me.
I just needed to make sure Katie was safely back in Stillwood before that happened.
“I’ll take you home,” I reassured her. “Even if things don’t work out for me, you can be with Asher and
Quinn again, and eventually you’ll forget you ever came to Constantine”

Tears sprang to Katie’s eyes. My heart sank to my stomach seeing her so upset.

She reached for my arms and clung to them desperately.
I didn’t want to fight her on this. Truthfully, the last thing I wanted to do was leave her and Stella
Rhiannon was a witch, for goddess’s sake. She must have other things she could try.
“Okay.” I told Katie. “Let me talk to Rhiannon and see if we can figure something out. You stay here
until I
come back.”
She nodded and let me go.
After getting dressed, I made my way down the hall silently, listening at each door for signs of
Rhiannon.
This loft apartment was deceptively large. But as I approached the second door, I heard Xander and
Zane’s
hushed voices.
+froze, and Colt pawed around inside me, my wolf hearing perking up to catch their conversation.
“So it’s settled then,” Xander said. He sounded agitated. “We get my mother to drive her back to the
mansion in the morning, and we take Mason to the Council to hand himself in.”
What the hell? No f ucking way were they going to change their minds and throw me under the bus just
when things with Katie were finally falling into place again.
And what the f uck was this about “driving her back to the mansion? They sure as hell hotter not he

planning to lock Katie up in Constantine again.
“I don’t know about this, Xander,” Zane said. He sounded equally short-fused and also exhausted, and
didn’t blame him. I’d rather fall on a silver blade than have to babysit Alpha Know-It-All As shole.
“You’re letting Gustav’s threats get to you. You’re not thinking this through.”
“Yes, I f ucking am,” he roared. I could hear him breathing heavily, trying to calm himself. “Look, there’s
a reason our wolves are drawn to Katie. And with Mason out of the picture, we might finally get to find
out why
that is. I need you with me on this, Zane.”
No response, just silence.
“If you don’t want to follow my orders,” Xander said, “Then don’t forget that I can make you.”
D amn, Zane was right. It really did sound like Xander was losing it. I needed to find Rhiannon, and
fast. After we talked with her about an alternative cure, I’d get Katie and Stella out of here and we’d go
somewhere, maybe back to Stillwood for the time being.
But whatever plan Xander had to steal Katie for himself…there was no way in hell that was happening.
I rushed down the hall, throwing open doors looking for Rhiannon. We needed to be out of here before

out of time, then maybe that wasn’t the worst thing in the world.
we ran
Finally, I threw open a heavy steel door at the end of the hall and heard the sound of shattering glass
and
a grumbling female voice Gabriela.
I crept into the dark room slowly, trying not to announce myself. It was some kind of storage room, filled
with shelves and shelves of what looked like spell supplies. Or at least that’s what it used to be. The
place
was totally trashed now.
From my place in the shadows, I watched as Gabriela ripped down shelves and shelves of glass vials,
jars, herbs, and all kinds of other supplies, tearing them to shreds and sending them shattering to the
ground. The smell in the air was nauseating. What the f uck was she doing, and where was Rhiannon?
My wolf senses perked up again as her mumbling got more manic. “I will not put my son in danger, not
again,” she said, still thrashing around the room. “If her memories come back, then everyone will know
the truth…” She froze and her eyes went wide. “Xander and Zane are mated to a hybrid.”
