“No, you’re fine It’s okay I know you’re teasing, but I think I’ drink soon”

“Yeah, I think we’re all going to need a drink,” Lucien agreed, then walked over to the door He unlocked it fro Baer and Wiley’s roo-sized bed Oh, and the plethora of ic-related items spread around the room

Gio followed Lucien into the roootten for now as he slowly approached the coffee table where Wiley had a ed with candles of different colors, crystals, and even a little bit of dirt

Now this hat he’d iic would look like What Lucien and Calder could do fro But what Wiley was preparing to do with crystals, candles, and other spell ingredients seeical to him It hat he saw in movies and read about in books

And Wiley was a mate He wasn’t a Weaver Could he do this because of his bond with Baer?

And if he ic too?

“Is it okay if I sit here? Should I back up?” Gio asked,toward a spot opposite Wiley with the table between them

“Oh, no Go ahead,” Wiley replied with a wave of his hand He looked down at the old leather-bound book at his side, checking so before he reached out and moved one of the crystals on the map

“Have you always been into ic?”

Wiley’s expression scrunched up; then he laughed “I draw comic books, so I’ve always been into characters with superpowers I just never thought I’d have any of my own”

“I always thought you were super adorable,” Baer said, earning a groan from Lucien Wiley didn’t care He siant red bow on it

“But we found these old spell books around the tiot the ability to understand the thoughts and feelings of animals from him, but I can’t shift,” Wiley explained when he could finally tear his eyes froy that can be directed into spells I’h”

“Are you the only one who can do these spells?”

“Oh, no! Well, I mean the Weavers can, of course They’re the ones rote down the spells But this generation hasn’t studied theifts they already have; trying to figure those things out is quite a steep learning curve”

Gio cleared his throat, fully aware that Lucien and Calder could hear him “But the other mates…”

“I don’t know Probably so Dane has focusedbecause that’s the focus of his powers and we need all the healing help we can get Cort hasn’t tried these spells yet He’s had his powers only a couple ofa lot under Grey His power see Grey is also trying to teach Cort how to remove the mind-control spell”
