will do as I say, but I can’t make Laurel do anything, and she won’t help us.

There’s been too much bad blood over the years.”

“Maybe not my aunt, but I might be able to twist my cousin’s arm.”

Jaxson gave a bitter laugh. “The lead distributor of wolfsbane in the

world? I guarantee he’s not going to help, if he even knows how to do

anything else but blow things up.”

Images of the weapons manufacturing operation flooded my mind, and

my stomach twisted. But I knew deep down that my cousin was better than

that. He had to be. I’d seen it.

I could make this happen.

“You don’t know him,” I growled defensively.

Sam, who was still on the phone—but apparently monitoring our

conversation—just rolled her eyes.

Jaxson rose and stalked to the side of the room. “I know enough.”

Pangs of protectiveness shot through me, and I snarled. “It literally can’t

hurt to ask. And if he doesn’t know how to do it, maybe he knows someone

who does.”

I held my breath as Jaxson considered. His pack wasn’t going to like this.

“Give me your phone.” He handed it over, and I dialed Casey as I

swiveled around on my stool.

Ragged breathing came across the line as he picked up. “Laurent, you

motherfucker, is Savy with you?”

What was Casey doing? Running a marathon?

“Hey, Case, it’s me. I’m borrowing Jaxson’s phone.”

“Where the hell are you?”

I put my finger in my ear to block the sounds of Sam on the other line,

talking to Neve. “I’m in Dockside. And I need your help with some magic.”
