The notification came through faster than I expected.

A message.

From Jeffery.

I opened it without hesitation.

The image filled the screen, clear and sharp–and there it was.

Exactly what I was looking for.

For a second, I just stared at it.

Taking it in.

Comparing it in my head without even trying.

It matched.

I wasn’t even sure what I was supposed to feel.

Relief?

Because I wasn’t imagining things?

Or concern…

Because I wasn’t?

I didn’t stay there long enough to decide.

I turned and headed straight out, my steps quick as I made my way back down the hallway. This

time, I didn’t slow down at the door. I pushed it open and walked in without knocking.

Helen and Faye were both there.

Seated.

Talking.

They stopped the moment I entered.

I didn’t say anything.

I just walked up to them and held the phone out.

The kind of magic werewolves had practiced in ages long buried and forgotten.

Her thoughts moved quickly, connecting one thing to another.

The dream Alexander had described.

The chanting, the altar, the blood–then Faye.

What Helen already suspected about it–what it could mean, what it could be wanted for.

And now this.

The mark.

It wasn’t random.

It wasn’t irritation.

It wasn’t coincidence.

It was a sign.

A claim… A beginning.

“What are you saying?” Alexander’s reaction came out just as fast, disbelief cutting through his

tone.

“Hold on-” Faye added quickly, lifting a hand slightly like she was trying to slow everything down. What mark are you both talking about?”

Her eyes moved between them again, searching, trying to understand what they were seeing that she wasn’t.

Helen looked at her for a moment.

Then spoke.

“You can’t see it,” she said. “Not the real thing.”

Faye frowned.

“What do you mean I can’t see it? But you can.”

“Because you’re the one with the mark,” Helen replied. “The one carrying it.”

A brief pause.

“And by the time you can see it,” she added, quieter now, “it will be the final stage of the spell.”

That was enough.

Alexander stepped back and lowered himself into the nearest seat, his expression tightening as he tried to process everything at once.
