Chapter 14 : Dark Discoveries

‘Something bad….’

Sasha’s words rang in my head as I tried to focus on finding a new project to write up a proposal for. There were plenty of sites in Egoren that needed attention.

But I couldn’t shake Shasha’s warning about the temple from my mind.

Part of me wanted to believe she’d been spooked by her near-fall, but I knew that couldn’t be it. It seemed crazy to risk my career by reporting her ‘feelings of evil’ to King Xander. But, if there was something to it, I would be to blame if people got hurt because of it.

I warred with my options for the better part of an hour before I cursed out loud and went to find Brady.

He was waiting in the hall.

“Need to talk?” Brady asked, those damn lips twitching again.

“Shut up,” I grumbled. “Where’s Phoebe?”

“Sleeping.”

“You still catch spooky vibes, don’t you?”

“Can I sense the difference between good and evil? Yes,” Brady said. “Why? You want me to go hit Donovan Clarke again?”
