Chapter 21

I blinked at the spot on the porch, my heart racing empty beats at the place Kason should've been. He'd gone outside the house, so had the poppies affected him before Claudia's blue spiral had done much damage? Or was he lying in bed while the life seeped out of him? A choked moan pushed between my clenched lips.

Please don't be dead, Kason.

Claudia looked on at the open doorway with her one dangling eye as if she could sense the magic contained within. She shoved me away.

"Legacy, huh?" she growled. "You only wish he could end fae power over you witches."

She knew everything now, and she would likely tell the rest of the fae all about it whether she took the Legacy seriously or not. I'd just invited a whole fish-smelling shit-storm to Kason's doorstep.

I stumbled into the howling wind up the porch steps, my body weakened from all my magic-using, my hands prickling in angry, bitter waves.
