"So as one of the Fates, Amara, you knohy Dorian cannot see rinned

"Why then?"

She looked up at Dorian and then back to me "Perhaps this is a conversation better left between the two of you"

I looked to Dorian expectantly "Noould be a good time to make those phone calls"

I could tell Dorian didn’t want to discuss it, either at all or with an audience so I nodded and headed out to the rooftop patio Walking over to the wall, I leaned against it and punched in Fiona’s number

"Hello?" She sounded confused

"It’s Gwen"

"Where are you calling fronize the area code"

"I’ a little crowded" Understatement of the year

"What does that round and wondered if Ethan was sitting next to her eavesdropping and rolling his eyes Thatwas mutual

"Never ues had invaded our hometown My dra because I have reason to believe the council members restored the protection spell"

"Just ato someone and then her footsteps as she walked away "What have you gotten yourself into, Gwen?"

My face scrunched in confusion "I haven’t done anything Why? What have you heard?"

"Everyone is gossiping about you, saying that you’re going through with it" Fiona’s voice was a hiss as she tried to keep her voice down and still coat her words with the severity of what she was saying

"Going through hat?"

"Well tell them you heard it from the source that it’s not true I swear everyone in Moon is worse than a group of teenagers" I sedfrustration "Have they restored the protection spell?" I knew the answer before Fiona spoke

"Yes, they were successful like two days ago I…never "

"Spill it, Fiona"

"It just…Holly has been spotted around the castle acting like everything’s peachy"

My frustration quickly grew into anger Why the hell hadn’t Charles called me to let me know the spell was back in place? And asn’t Holly held up in a dirty cell?

"I knew they wouldn’t believe et off scott free," I bit out "Is Charles at the castle now?"

"I don’t know I haven’t seen him today"

The line went silent for a moment "Sorry for the rant How are you? How’s the spell casting going?"

"Moon is okay, but it’s not hoood and I’ve learned a lot of cool new spells"

I could hear the sood Moon ht now You wouldn’t want to be drawn into the drahed but it sounded fake to ht? You said Flora was invaded? By what?"

"I’hed and this tiues and the bond with Aiden but I didn’t want to worry her when she was thousands ofbut work herself up
