and chittering of unseen animals preoccupied my senses.

Before long, a strange presence filled the air, and I suspected that we

were being watched. I took Savannah’s arm and raised a finger to my lips.

It wasn’t a sound that caught my attention, but rather a feeling of power

and silence. The noises of the forest died around us as a high-pitched

humming reverberated through the trees. My claws slipped out, and my

muscles tensed.

The smell of melon and sugar dulled my senses as a woman stepped

through a curtain of moss dangling from the gnarled trees. Had it been there

moments before? I couldn’t remember.

“Blessed day, beauties,” the woman drawled in a seductive voice,

planting her hands on her full hips. She stood over six feet tall, and her wild,

dark hair hung loosely around her, draped with vines and flowers. A crown of

stag horns rose above her brow, and her nails were sharpened into points.

“Now, which one of you summoned me?”

“I did,” Savannah said, slipping around me.

“My, my, two wolf pups lost in my wood. What brings you here?” The

woman’s eyes darkened as she gaped at Savannah, taking a step forward.

“That’s close enough,” I growled. Cavra’s head snapped to mine like an

animal’s, and her eyes brightened back to an emerald green. She smiled

maliciously as she took my measure but quickly set her gaze back on

Savannah.

I sensed Savannah’s fear, but she stood tall, betraying nothing. “We

understand that you dictated a book— The Grimoire of Nightmares—to a

witch named Sorsha Delamont. That book was stolen by a blood sorcerer,

and he’s using it to trap people in their dreams. We came to seek your help in

stopping him.”

The woman tilted her head back and let out a hearty laugh, the air around

her vibrating with magic. Whatever she was, she was powerful, and I didn’t

like it one godsdamned bit.
