"Odessa, are you guys okay?" Caroline chirped worriedly when Kaelos and I came back to Blood Oak the following morning. "It's all over the news. The attack on the Luminari Coven."
Althea had stayed back in the Luminari to join the other coven leaders in discussing with the council of North American high covens.
While I'd have loved to stay back and argue my ass off with some old scheming witches—that's a lie, I wouldn't have—I had hopes that Althea and her charms could win the trust of the witches to our side.
"We're fine, Car." I smiled, wishing I could hug her as Kaelos and I settled into the seats at the dining table. "Just a little... Riled up actually. There's been a new change in our war plans."
Her eyebrows furrowed, her eyes flicking from Kaelos and me.
My husband had his eyes glued to his phone, the lines on his forehead telling me that he was seeing something he'd rather not have to.
