We were quiet for a little bit, before Matt spoke up. “Are you sure you know what you’re talking about?”

Could he be any more patronizing? I willed myself not to lose my temper. Allies. We need Allies. We’d have a better chance against Luciana and the others if we had more witches on our side. “I’m certain. And not only that, she called up a demon to raise Daniel from the dead. He… It wasn’t right. His skin was gray and starting to rot. She turned her own son into a monster. She’s has to be stopped.”

He scanned my face, most likely looking to see if I was lying.

“Watch the road!” I yelled as the tires skidded on gravel again. He faced frontward in time to swerve away from the oncoming traffic.

God. He was going to kill us. “Just watch the road,” I said it much softer the second time.

“Raising demons is really bad. That’s not gray magic, that’s black. Why isn’t your coven standing up to her?”

Where did I start? “The thing about Luciana is that she’s a good speaker. She’s convinced everyone that what she’s doing is what’s best for the coven and now they follow her like lemmings. And she’s got a massive hatred for the wolves. Any complaints that the coven had, she found a way to blame them on the pack.”

“Come on, Claudia.”

I ground my teeth together as he said my name. Clod-ia. With that one word, I knew douchebag Matt was back. All the hope that he might help us fled.

“You have to realize that the wolves aren’t our friends.”

No. I didn’t realize that. So far, they were the only ones willing to help. “Why not?”

“Because of a centuries-old feud. That friction isn’t going to end just because you made a few friends.”

“I know all about the feud. And I know it’s not going to end just because I want it to, but she’s evil. She’s willing to start a war with the Weres just because my cousin was bitten—”

“Sounds like reason enough—”
