The entire thing was old and sad looking. It’s roof seemed sunken into the second floor, dipping in the middle. The windows were boarded in some places and blown out in others. There was a bed of dead flowers in front of it and patches of grass scattered around in the dirt.

“Gods be damned,” Maximus cursed. I turned to see him stagger out of the car. He looked around. “The fuck are We?”

“Cardiff.”

We both looked towards Kairos. He shrugged.

“My mum’s from here,” he said, nonchalantly. “Keywolf pack.”

I looked out at the roaring ocean again. Waves smacked against the rocks with reckless abandon. I frowned and turned back to Kairos. “Do people swim here?”

“Yeah,” he stepped closer to me. “When it’s not freezing out.”

“Where’s Valentin?” I asked.

“Warding the place,” Kairos pointed towards the cottage. I frowned again as I spotted Valentin coming from around the back of the house.

His hands were held up and he seemed to be moving them in repetitive pattern. Every once in a while, a ripple would come out of his hands and he’d move to the next spot. I looked back over at the car.

Kairos and Maximus had gotten the trunk open and were pulling our bags out. I went over to help them and together we unloaded the car. We brought all of the bags over to the cottage. Valentin was waiting for us at the door. He kicked it open with his foot and gestured us all in.

“Welcome to your new home,” he deadpanned.

I stepped past the barrier of the hut and into it. I was half expecting it to be a shithole. Instead, it was just as nice as Valentin’s house on campus was. It was full of dark wooden furniture with gold carvings. There were several dim lamps littering the room along with a few velvet chairs. The entire hut seemed to be a mirage for a seemingly normal house.

“Quaint,” Maximus chimed in, dropping his bags next to mine. I met his eyes and gave him a soft smile.

“Smells like moth balls,” Kairos grumbled.

He too dropped his bags next to mine. But he kept a much more sizeable space between us than Maximus had. I tried to give him a similar smile, but he avoided looking at me. Something within me twinged with sadness.

“Right,” Valentin pushed into the hut himself. “There’s two rooms upstairs. One has bunk beds and one with a queen. Boys, you can take the bunk beds so Zora can have her own room. I’ll take the smaller room downstairs since I won’t be here as often.”

“Top bunk,” Maximus said. He glanced at Kairos who just scowled at him. Maximus stuck his tongue out when Kairos turned back to look at Valentin. I smothered my laugh with my hand.

“Go drop your things,” Valentin said. “Then we can get started on training.” “Training?” I balked. “Here I was thinking today would be a day off.”

Valentin shook his head. “Sorry, love,” he gave me a soft smile. “We don’t know when the vampires are planning the attack. We need to get your powers under control as soon as possible.”

My cheeks heated slightly at the pet name. Valentin cleared noticed, eyes flickering with something nefarious. He turned away and gestured to the bags at our feet. Each of us picked up a bag and walked towards the grand looking wood stairway.

I went up first, the boys following behind me. I veered off to the left at the top of the staircase and wandered down a hall. The first door was a bathroom, clean and neat. The second seemed to be my room.
