I nodded, and Jaxson led the way through the jungle. He seemed to know

exactly where he was going, which was a mercy, as I had no freaking clue if

I sensed the maenad before she stepped out of the trees.

“You made it,” Cavra whispered with a mixture of shock and disbelief,

her gaze locked on the bloodstone. “What a delightful surprise . ”

She observed Savannah, and a dangerous light flickered in her eyes. The

maenad couldn’t be trusted. Her sweet voice hid a wicked cunning and lust

for power, which made my skin itch.

I stepped between them, claws extended, blocking Cavra’s view. “How

does this play out now?”

It took every bit of strength to maintain my calm. My protective instincts

were still in overdrive after what had unfolded in the jungle, and I was certain

that Cavra was far more dangerous than anything we’d encountered there.

The maenad examined me with a deadpan expression, and then her lips

twitched up in a faint smile. “Don’t worry. I’m true to my word, wolf man.

Give me the bloodstone, and I’ll fulfill my end of the bargain…with your

help, of course.”

“What do you mean, with our help?” I growled.

“The spell you’ve asked of me is not a simple one. I’ll need you to

contribute a bit of your magic to bring it to fruition.”

“What’re you suggesting?” Savannah asked, suspicion ringing in her

voice.

“I’m a maenad. I draw my power from passion and pleasure, so I’ll need

you two to join me and my family in our revel. Come.” Cavra turned and

motioned for us to follow with the flick of her wrist.

Savannah shrugged and stepped past me, but I caught her hand. She had

no fucking clue how bad it was.
