Chapter 294: Trail Invitation

At least my next visitor decided to knock. I was just approaching the door again to head to the Vegas when Sassafras entered the kitchen and jumped up on the table. I ignored him as I reached for the handle and jerked the door wide.

I wished instantly I'd left it shut. The snotty Enforcer from the night before pushed her way inside the moment I did. She cast her gaze around the room with a sneer before turning to me.

"I didn't invite you in." I scowled at her, watched the family magic crawl over the wards surrounding her, wondered what it was about her the coven's collective power despised so much. "What do you want?"

She scowled back at me, clearly unaccustomed to being treated with anything less than respect. Or more probably, fear.

Yeah, not likely. Angry contempt was about the best I could muster.

Besides, I had a feeling she hadn't been an Enforcer for long and under normal circumstances wouldn't have made the grade.
