Chapter 208 

The trip home was filled with silence.

It wasn’t the comfortable kind that faded

into the background and made your

eyelids grow heavy as the purr of the car’s engine droned on and on.

This one was full of tension and unspoken words that were so loud they needn’t be spoken at all.

 

Zeke, Clara, and Mason hitched a ride with Asher and I since Tessa was currently tied up and unconscious in the back of the work van Breyona drove. Giovanni and Tristan had no choice but to sit back there as well considering they were the only windows blacked out from the rising sun.

It would’ve been safer to wait until dark to move, but we didn’t have the time to

waste.

There was no telling if Ember would come back for her twin with more witches, and now that the location of the safe haven was compromised, we needed every spare warrior available to protect the territory.

It did help that Deacon, Dina, and Spence stayed behind, but there was still the risk

of the witches attacking during the day.

Since my nerves were too frayed to sleep, I spent the entire drive home thinking of ways to magically protect the safe haven Asher and I created.

Undoubtedly, Cordelia would be able to help. She could use her protection magic to cast an alarm – like spell, one that would alert us if any witches crossed the boundary, but it would do nothing to give us a heads up

telling her about Tessa, she very reluctantly gave me a bundle of some bitter smelling plant she called Hemlock. There wasn’t a drug or herb on this planet that could take away a witch’s power, but this poisonous root would make it harder for Tessa to have access to it. The only stipulation was that it couldn’t be administered for more than a couple weeks, or you’d run the risk of death. It gave us time,
