I shot him a look, but it didn’t have much bite. “You’d complain no matter what time we left.”

“True,” Alex chimed in, grinning. “But I’m with him on this one. Can we at least not get up before daybreak tomorrow?*

Isaiah glanced at me, pulling his phone from his pocket to check our location. He frowned at the screen, then nod making good time. We don’t have to rush in the morning. We’ll still peach the next town by sunset.”

“Yes!” the twins exclaimed in unison, high–fiving each other. I couldn’t help but smirk at their enthusiasm.

“Alright,” I conceded, lying back against a fallen log. “Get some rest. We’ll set up camp here for the night.”

They didn’t need to be told twice. Within minutes, Austin was snoring again, and Alex wasn’t far behind. Isaiah lay close to me, his shoulder brushing mine as he slowly fell asleep.

Her presence was suffocating, the air around her crackling with dark energy.

“Well, well, well,” she drawled, her voice laced with disdain. “I’ve been looking for you.”

I bared my teeth, fury boiling over. “Looks like you finally found us. You here for a beating?”

The witch sneered. “Arrogant mutt. I’m here for pest control.
