“And there were kids in mine,” he snapped, which is not something he wants to think about, not something she needs to know about, but the he’s too angry to care. Angry at her, angrier at himself. “I’m not making any promises, but maybe it would be wise to get a fucking head start.”

“And my family never did anything to yours. My grandmother would rather we die than go dark!” She took a step closer to him, refusing to leave. “If I’m going to die because of you than at least be man enough to fucking do it yourself. If I die, I’m not bringing anyone else down with me. Either you do it your damn self or don’t do it at all because I swear to every fucking god that ever was, I will fucking haunt you, Wilder.”

He recoiled at that information, an instinctive reaction stronger than he meant for it to be, but the idea that she’d used any magic on him at all was deeply unsettling. “Jesus Christ, Colette, just get out.”

“Not without your word that you won’t send someone after me. There are kids in my family, Wilder.

“My element is air, Wilder, it’s a lot easier to control and a lot more subtle. It’s not like I go around doing spells other than the occasional boost to coffee to help with hangovers.” She probably shouldn’t have admitted to that one, but the girl could pull winds strong enough to create her own tornado if she needed to. Afterall, she had been doing magic her entire life. “If you’re going to cause my death then do it your goddamn self.”

“…does Konis expect me to be there? Because I’m not sure how she would feel about having me around her family and I don’t think it would be wise to surprise her with that.” Not that she hadn’t just been dropping in to his house whenever she wanted for ages now.

That one made her eyes roll. “She doesn’t even know I’m here. She will likely never invite you to this shit because that’s just who she is.” Ava left out the fact that Konis herself didn’t exactly like coming to these events and she thought that, maybe, having someone her sister actually seemed to have a bond with there would help.
