“Visit a seer with me.”
“No,” she says.
“We have to know how to break the curse. It’s the only way you get rid of me.”
“No, a stake through the heart gets rid of you. And the only ones who need to know how to break the curse are me and Ambrose.”
“Did you tell him?”
“What?” She snaps as she stops.
“Did you tell him everything you know about the prophecy?”
“I told him everything I was told by a seer. The rest is just dreams.”
I raise my eyebrows.Now we’re getting somewhere.“You’ve had dreams about the prophecy?”
“I’m not telling you anything.”
I sigh. “What is Ambrose’s curse?”
Her face pales. “I’m never telling you that.”
“That bad, huh? If I knew, could I destroy him?”
She growls. “I’ll never let you hurt him.”
I scoff. “Your frail, human body couldn’t stop me.”
“I could.”
“Fine, don’t answer me. I know he has a personal curse, just like all the witches. And I know each Moonlight pack member has their own curse as a result of their alpha being a witch. Don’t you want to know what the vampires’ curse is? What mine is?”
“No, I hope whatever it is is very, very…” she stops as if something has interrupted her thought.
“Very, very?”
She shakes her head as if she can focus again. “Painful.”
“You have to ask if you want to know.”
But Lumi isn’t listening to me. Her mind is elsewhere occupied, which could only mean one thing—Ambrose is communicating with her in her mind.
I test the waters, gently pushing against her mind, but I’m locked out.
They are talking.
Which means he’s close by. I don’t think the bond has limitless abilities to communicate from any distance.
“We should head back,” I say, turning toward the castle.
She nods, reluctantly.
We walk back in silence until we reach my home. When we reach the grounds, I turn toward the woods.
“What are you doing?” she asks.
“Going hunting with the rest of the pack in the north woods. I trust you can find a way to occupy your time while I’m away.”
