Tangled in Moonlight: Unshifted (Ava and Lucas)

Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Ava: Radio Silence

The phone doesn't even ring anymore. It goes straight to voicemail.

Kellan's rings, but there's no answer.

Vester's rings, too. But he also doesn't answer.

In fact, we've tried everyone. No one's answering.

If we hadn't already had successful calls since being in the Fae Ward, I'd suspect that we can't call people. Instead…

"Something's wrong."

Stating the obvious does nothing to ease the tension in my room. The thrill of success over me reaching my magic earlier is long gone, leaving us all staring at our phones.

Magister Orion was kind enough to send a folding table upstairs for us to use, and Marcus uses it to spread a few papers across its surface.

"I've summarized all the information we've learned since being in the Fae Ward, but it's very little. I think our best bet is to ask Magister Orion and Sister Miriam to see if they can use their resources to better source intel on what's going on outside the city."

The papers are a pathetic level of information.

Marcus had a few text messages from Jericho, stating that rogues were encroaching on Westwood territory. We have no news about Blackwood, but with Kellan and Vester's silence, it doesn't bode well. We know that the alpha of Whispering Pines has something to do with all of this, but we don't know if he's working with Renard or the vampires.

We have far more questions than answers, and frustration bubbles in my belly. Is this how Lucas felt, when he searched for me after the Gala?
