Chapter 39: A Call to Meet the Coven

Liliana's POV

The dull chime of a grandfather clock echoed four long rings. The knee of her left leg was still twisted and throbbing from the heavy impact.

"Mrs. Xander? Where are you?"

Lights began flipping on from the back of the house, moving in a wave to the entry foyer. A wave of solace flooded Liliana's limbs. A sob of relief rose to the back of her throat and pulsed out.

"Mrs. Medford? What are you doing here? Thank goodness you came. I fell down the stairs. Not sure if anything is ok."

In the next instance, a robust set of arms was lifting her off the floor. Mr. Medford's kind eyes met her gaze. "Mr. Xander sent a message telling us to return to the house immediately. What in the world is going on? Did he hurt you?"
