Chapter 184
Aaliyah
When I returned to the house with Imani and Poppy after the tour, I found Makayla in the living room with a spell book on her lap. Large red candles were lit on the table.
I walked closer, and she raised her head from the book.
"There are rumors that the King has been searching for you," Makayla said.
"You mean Vladimir?" I asked.
"Yes," she replied. "He wants your son dead."
Panic gripped me, and my eyes widened. "I really need to meet my family."
"You can't leave this city," she said. "Not now, when Vladimir has sent Lycans all over Vlékhut to find you. But if you want, we can find a way for you to reach them by phone."
"Yes... yes... I'd appreciate that."
"Alright, but that cannot happen now," she said. "We need to start the process of you fully unlocking your magic."
I sat down on the chair next to her. "I think I'm ready."
