I share a look with the guys. It’s better than nothing, but we’ll have to move quickly. If King finds out we know, he could move her again and make damn sure we never find her. I can’t let that happen.

“Where is it?” I ask.

“Basically, in the middle of nowhere,” Jazmyn says, laying out a map on the table.

I move closer.

“He’s good. He even removed it from the maps.” Jazmyn points out the spot they think Kiarra is. It’s up near Boston, out in the ocean—at least fifty miles out. But it’s not as far as I thought.

She’s not halfway across the world, which is something.

Not that it would matter with the way we have access to portals, but the idea of her being closer to us helps ease the tightness in my chest a little.

“The area is not only concealed but blocks any portals to or from it, so we’ll have to go the old fashion way…” Jazmyn continues.

“Guess we know where the power from those spells from the Cardinal Three went,” I mumble. Rion and Kai nod.

Jazmyn looks at me. “Unless…” She narrows her eyes at me like she’s trying to drill a hole into my skull.

“Unless? Spit it out. I’m not going to play twenty questions with you just so you can hear the sound of your own voice.”

Jazmyn rolls her eyes so hard it looks like she is about to a have a seizure. “That girl deserves a fucking award for putting up with you.”

“I am the fucking reward, and Kiarra will figure that out once she gets acquainted with my dick, so say what you need to, so I can be on my way. We don’t have all fucking day.”

Draven looks like he wants to take me to the Underworld himself. I smirk at him, hoping he’ll try.

“You’re an elemental Dragon?” Jazmyn asks, knowing quite well what I am and where I’m from. But I play along, hoping it’ll get me out of this room sooner.

“Half. What about it?”

“Elemental Dragons are known to have the ability to manipulate energy when shifted,” she says, more in a statement than a question.

I give her a deadpanned look. “Again, what about it?”

Jazmyn clenches her jaw, getting sick of my apparent lack of psychic abilities, because hell if I know where she’s going with this.

“I’m not a fucking mind reader, so spit it out or move the fuck on.”

She sighs, looking like she’s losing all will to live. But she can wait until after she’s helped us find Kiarra, then she can go and jump off a cliff for all I care.

“You should be able to draw the energy from the spells King is using to block portals. And since I have to fucking spell it out, you can then portal there and go all fucking

Hulk and get your girl.” Huh.

I guess it could be possible. Not that I have ever tried before, but power is power, and I can draw it to myself in whatever form it is made from. I just need some way to release the energy I absorb.

I smile to myself, thinking of ways my little mate could help with that.

“But you’re going to need a couple of more members from your flight to pull the amount of energy King is using on these spells,” Jazmyn says with a smug look, making me lose any sliver of happiness I had.

It was no secret that I didn’t get along with my flight— my so-called family. My flight was nothing more than deadbeats and traitors. The thought of having to deal with them made my blood boil.

The guys give me a look, but I’m not about to make a big deal about this. If contacting them was the best way to get Kiarra back, then I’d drag them down there myself.

“I’ll contact them,” I tell her.

Kai turns to me, “If you need me to—”
