“We’re in!” Meryn said, walking over to where Kendrick was.
Aiden looked uneasy. “Baby, maybe you should stay here with Izzy and Amelia and eat cake.”
“Fuck that. Those dudes have been in that box for like weeks. I wanna see if they’re still alive.” Her eyes brightened. “And if they are, I wanna see what state they’re in.”
Aiden sighed. “Okay baby.”
“Remember, I may not be able to do anything!” Kincaid shouted as Nigel, Neil and Pip pushed him out the door laughing.
“I am very interested to see how their auras look,” Cas admitted. “I may be able to share what I learn with others in the city who can see auras. Maybe that could help in keeping watch?”
“It would be more than we have now,” Aiden admitted.
“Hurry up! I wanna see if ferals turn into zombies if left locked up long enough!” Meryn said, pulling on Aiden’s hand.
Anne shuddered. “I’m definitely staying here then, eating cake.”
Kendrick kissed the top of her head. “Do not worry my love, they will not be around for long.”
“Good,” she said, picking up her teacup.
“Come on!” Meryn bellowed from the hallway.
Cas shook her head as she and Priest followed the impatient woman out the door.
Chapter Ten
Cas followed the group down to a building in town that had warriors standing out front. She looked up at her mate questioningly, who in return got the deer in the headlights look. “Umm this is the building that we’ve been using as the morgue.”
Cas stopped at stared. Her people were in there, cold and dead.
“The portal is just on the inside. We don’t have to go where the storage part is,” Priest explained, pulling her close.
“I’m being silly.”
“You’re kinda not,” Meryn said, eyeballing the building. “Dead bodies don’t bother me, but morgues are just fucking creepy.”
Cas exhaled in relief. “So, it’s not just me.”
“Nope,” Meryn said, popping the ‘p’.
Pip walked over with a parasol held over his head. Why he needed a parasol when it wasn’t bright or raining, she didn’t know, but he looked surprisingly good with one. He took Meryn’s hand. “I can help you.”
Meryn melted on the spot. “Thanks, Pip.”
Swinging hands, they walked through the door.
“I kinda want one,” she admitted.
“A kid?” Priest asked.
“No, a Pip. He’s adorable.”
“I’m afraid you’re stuck with me instead,” he said, offering her his hand.
Feeling devilish, she brought his hand up and nipped it playfully. “I’ve been remiss in torturing you today.”
He closed his eyes and groaned. “My brothers are going to think I’m the world’s biggest pervert if I walk in there with a hard on.”
