Chapter 25: Meet the Pendragons

**Jax**

The following two days were filled with a tension I hadn't felt since the days leading up to our fight with Rector and the Zoya Coven. Everyone was on edge waiting for Piper's sisters to arrive. Chloe was insisting we not kill Ivy, but rather strip her of her magic and then lock her up. Even though Abby hadn't said anything, her aura was hard to ignore - she was terrified that some or all of us wouldn't come out alive. Isach, mostly, but her overall concern was widespread.

I hadn't found another moment alone with Piper since the other day at the pool, and that in and of itself was enough to make me miserable, but add that to everything else, and I was the crankiest vampire on the planet. And Piper didn't hesitate to let me know it, either. Her teasing was the only thing currently keeping me sane. Well, sort of.
