An hour later, we finally arrived in White Hills. It was a tiny town surrounded by mountains and forests. There was only one highway in or out of the town. Henry parked in a shared parking lot a block from Ascelinâs shop.
We didnât know for sure that Logan lived in White Hills, let alone his exact address. However, his girlfriend was Ascelinâs daughter, so we hoped Ascelin knew where to find the demon. Ascelin was also Huntâs brother.
The paranormal world was a complex web.
âStay here,â I said to Rita as Henry dressed Darwin in a hoodie and carefully picked him up.
âI thought splitting up was a bad idea.â
âIt is, but weâve only met this half-demon once and weâre not sure heâs trustworthy.â
She relented and we walked to Ascelinâs magic shop. Several people stared at us because Henry was carrying what looked very much like a dead person. Fortunately, the shop was unlocked.
Henry tensed the second I opened the door and I hesitated. After a moment, I prodded him until he moved out of the way. The shop was small and cramped. There were five bookcases to the left, all packed with magic supplies, including potions, potion ingredients, books, crystals, precious stones, and small boxes. To the right of the door was a long, glass cabinet/counter combo, full of rings, coins, and wooden plaques with sigils etched into or painted on them. Between the bookshelves and the counter was a narrow aisle. Against the far wall was an old reading chair facing the door and a small end table.
We were immediately bombarded by two massive black wolves. Iâd never seen three-hundred-pound wolves before. They growled at Henry, who pushed me behind him, shoved Darwin at me, and growled back. âShifters.â
âDeimos! Phobos! Stand down!â a woman demanded.
The dogs both stopped growling and took a step back. The woman who emerged from behind the bookshelf was beautiful. She had dark brown hair and silver eyes. While her face was sweet and her smile was welcoming, her eyes warned that she would kill anyone who threatened her. Her deep red satin shirt and blue jeans accented her curves without being revealing. She actually looked a lot like Remington, except for her eye color. My intuition warned me that she was dangerous, and it was a sensation I knew well. Vampire.
âI havenât seen you two around, but Iâm fairly new myself. Are you visitors?â
âYeah. We were hoping to speak to Ascelin.â
âHeâs not here, but he should be back in a few minutes.â She gestured to the chair and I set Darwin in it. âIâm his daughter, Aurora. Everyone calls me Rory.â She held out her hand and I shook it. She sniffed us discreetly. âA wizard and a shifter. Welcome to White Hills.â
âThank you. Weâve actually come not to talk to your father but your boyfriend, Logan Wayne. We need help healing our friend from a monster bite.â
âHow is my boyfriend supposed to do that?â
âIt was a demonic sort of monster.â
âOh. Heâs with my father.
