Please.”

My eyes moved to the machine, and I shook my head. I needed to find Mikayla. I knew getting attached wasn’t supposed to part of the job, but I couldn’t help it. Surprisingly, she was with Grayson when I found her, crying. I was just about to ask him why she was when, as soon as Mikayla rushed off, he spoke first

“There’s a way to save her.”

hark “What?*

I blinked, taken aback. “What?”

“She’s going to die, but there’s a way she doesn’t have to stay dead. She just has to put this on.” He raised his hand, showing me a ring I had vaguely noticed before, one that he never took off. I always thought it was a family crest or something

“I don’t understand. What does a ring have to do with this?”

“I had Maria make it for me. It was a dangerous spell, and it can only be used once, but it grants me three chances to come back to life.”

What?

But he wasn’t finished. “I have one chance left. I don’t know if it automatically resets on someone else’s finger, but that doesn’t matter. There’s a chance left, and if she puts it on, she’ll come back from the dead.”

Unfortunately for me?” He scoffed. “He survived, and the price I paid for that act was too much I wanted him gone, and I had to make sure that this time, I wouldn’t fail. So I had Maria do a spell to seal the entire house so people could enter but they couldn’t leave. Because of my father’s condition and his pride, he drove all wolves away from the main house, so it wasn’t hard to get him alone. But then…” He stopped talking for a moment, pain flashing across his eyes for a second. “My mother and Elaine’s parents came home early. They weren’t supposed to, and I tried everything to stop it.
