I stayed exactly where I was long after the fog had completely swallowed their silhouettes. The pressure of the witch’s magic still lingered in the air. It felt like the echo of a storm that refused to fully pass. My beast remained rigid inside me, ears pricked, muscles coiled, waiting for something to happen. If they caught me now, I could take them down, but the witch was an unknown. A risk I couldn’t take.

I exhaled slowly, forcing my breathing to steady. The fog shifted below, drifting in slow currents around the streetlights. Was she waiting for me to make a move? Waiting for Kitty to make a move?

The thought tightened my chest, and the bond flickered.

It wasn’t emotion that reached me. Kitty wasn’t in pain or frightened. It was flashes of movement. Large paws covered in thick, whirling shadows pressing into the earth. Thick trees higher up the hill, with city lights peeking between the trunks, twinkling like stars in the distance. A surge of raw, violent energy that pulsed once, then again, somewhere beyond the city. My beast turned his attention to her immediately.

Kitty was out hunting again.

She shouldn’t have been out tonight, not with this much magic in play, not with someone powerful enough to mask an entire street standing just beneath me. She should have stayed safe behind Nathan’s wards. But the bond didn’t carry hesitation or doubt. Only focus.

I didn’t mean to reach for her, but the connection happened insinctively, like my magic leaned towards hers before I could stop it. The response was immediate. My shadows tightened around me, then thickened, growing denser without my command.

I stilled. Wasn’t she too far for this?

Power flowed through the shadows, perfectly compatible with mine, yet much more than I could ever hope to possess on my own. I’d felt the same the night we sealed the dark magic away. It soaked into me, wrapping around every cell, flowing in my veins and around my beast.

I flexed my fingers slowly, watching the shadows respond. They moved like liquid, condensing instead of spreading. The darkness around me didn’t just hide me anymore; it dissolved me. Even the warmth of my body faded into the surrounding air.

Like the witch’s fog. No, it was better. The witch’s magic filled the space, pressing her aura outwards. Mine erased my presence. And this wasn’t just my strength, this was Kitty’s.

Her power threaded through mine, sharpening it, refining it on a cellular level. The bond fed the shadows in a way that made them stronger than anything I’d used before.

Stronger than what I felt below me.

I moved carefully from my hiding spot behind the ventilation uit, keeping my focus on the fog below. The shadows flowed with me, clinging tighter as they adjusted to every movement. When I stepped out completely, nothing reacted below. No ripple in the fog, no shift in the air, and Bronson’s people remained in their hiding spots while Carter tore up the old warehouse.

I crossed the rooftop, each movement deliberate as my beast tracked for any reaction. Still nothing. When I reached the edge, I didn’t hesitate; I jumped to the next building. Then stopped.

There was still silence around me. The landing barely disturbed he gravel. The shadows absorbed even that, swallowing every sound. It felt as if my weight never truly touched the surface.

I moved again until I reached the fire escape. Even when I climbed down the old, rusty steps, the fog down the street

remained in places. Still cautious, I kept to the shadows, avoiding the streetlights. Even though I was still hiding, each step felt lighter. It was like I simply wasn’t present. Just gone.

After three blocks, I slipped into the forest and crouched as I looked back. Only then did I finally let myself breathe fully. The shadows loosened around me, giving me a little more breathing room, and I slumped back against a trunk.

I’d never run from a fight in my life, but that urge had pressed me until the bond flared and Kitty shared her strength with me. The bond pulsed stronger. She was closer now. My beast’s attention moved from the threat near that warehouse, shifting to Kitty. She was moving towards the city, and with every step she took, the shadows grew stronger.

I closed my eyes briefly and reached outward.

But I slammed right into that wall again. I couldn’t feel any echoes of her emotions in the bond besides this cold precision. She still wasn’t letting me in. That same pain from the morning filled my chest and rolled through my whole body. I slumped against the tree, clutching my chest as if I could physically stop the ache.

When would she give me a chance to redeem myself?

‘Your Majesty?’ Tanner’s voice cut through the chaos in my head

‘Stand down,’ I answered. ‘Do not engage. Move cautiously. There is known magic in the area.

‘Understood, Tanner said.

I spread my senses wider until I found all the agents, and waited until they started moving. The fog was still ahead, still hiding the three occupants inside. I could only imagine the terrible plans they were cooking up for Kitty.

A howl broke the silence in the air, followed by a loud crash. A large brown wolf broke through the wrecked rafters in front of the loading bay and slipped into the forest. Carter. He’d finally accepted the truth that I’d laid a trap for him.

The fog opened up, releasing the witch, Fiona, and Bronson again.

“What the hell happened?” Bronson shouted.

When one of the group came forward and whispered something in his ear, Bronson looked towards the warehouse, and snarl formed on his face. His aura surged, and his fury pressed against me even at this distance.

“He was trying to trap us here,” Bronson said. “He must be near. The Bureau must be here, too. Find them!”

There was rustling in the trees as several wolves moved to follow the command.

“It won’t do you any good now,” the cloaked woman said. “He’s already gone. Let’s proceed with our plan. I will contact you again when the time is right.”

The fog rose the way my shadows did, and completely engulfed her. And then it rolled down the street the way it had come. My shadows instinctively tightened around me, and I felt weightless again. But the fog didn’t even stop when it went past where I hid.

When she was gone, the city felt different. The fog still lingered in patches, but my focus shifted entirely inward. Each pulse from her grew clearer, more defined.

She was cutting through wolves.

I saw it in flashes. The violence, the efficient strikes. The bond carried no guilt, no adrenaline, no bloodlust. Just a deep satisfaction, the kind that came when a deep hunger was finally appeased. With every strike, my shadows grew stronger.

I rose again and began moving, my shadows blending with the darkness as I slipped between the trees. My beast lifted his head sharply. Kitty was close now, still outside the city but near enough that the bond thrummed steadily in my chest. Her magic brushed against mine, further swallowing the faint light around me. No one could find me now.

The thought should have reassured me, but it turned my focus back to Kitty. She was Bronson’s target. That bastard still believed Kitty was weak.

The bond shifted. Kitty was heading in my direction. Fear slid back into my chest as I thought of what would happen if Kitty encountered Bronson and that witch.

The power feeding my shadows was still growing, building in steady, unstoppable waves, and if I could feel it this clearly, then so could they.
