“Thinking about it. I’ve got a shifter case lined up—the woman’s adoptive sister isvile. But...I don’t know. I might take some time to just be with Pandora.”
Joel smirked. “Do it.”
“I think I will.”
My tablet buzzed with a reminder for my session with Fester.
A call from Rowan Clearwater a few hours ago had already left my brain scrambled, but it was actually just another slap to the face. Fester—my student—was part of Dark Veil. Sabine’s intel had confirmed it.
I exhaled through my nose, staring at the screen. I’d messaged our group chat about everything when I heard. They were pissed.
Hunter Darkmore
Rowan Clearwater called. Fester’s in Dark Veil. Intel confirmed.
Reed Nyx
I knew something was off with him!
Skel Grimshaw
He’s nosy as fuck.
Bram
I’m actually surprised. He’s more weaselly than anything.
Dexter Shadowheart
Want me to kill him?
Pandora Gravesend
Are you sure? His soul is never as evil as the others from Dark Veil I’ve been in contact with.
Hunter Darkmore
Don’t kill him yet, Dex. Pandora, I have a session with him today. I’ll update you. But stay away from him, okay?
“What?” Joel asked, catching the shift in my mood.
“It’s Fester. He’s with Dark Veil,” I muttered, looking up from my screen.
Joel’s entire demeanor changed, lemonade cup hitting the table, empty. “You’re kidding.”
“I wish I was. Sabine’s intel is solid.” I scowled. “You know it is.”
“Fuck.” Joel scrubbed a hand down his face. “Jenni’s friends with him!”
“I know. So is Pandora.” I clenched my jaw. “I already told her and the guys in our group chat. Death knows, but I think you should talk to him and both of you let Jenni know in case she isn’t aware.”
Joel looked like he wanted to punch something. “If he tries anything with my mate?—”
“You kill the threat,” I told him, standing up. “I’ve got a session with him in a few minutes.”
His eyes narrowed but he nodded. “Be careful, man.”
“Always.” I left the cafeteria and made my way through the building to my office.
