Tegan snorted. “It’s almost definitely a trap.”

Everyone shouted. Tenn just closed his eyes in defeat. Bentley snort-laughed.

“Tegan. What the hell?” Tim grumbled. “Elaborate. Now.”

“Look, rock and a hard place and all that jazz.” She gestured to her elder brother. “Truth is, we have no idea whose dream he saw. For all we know it could’ve been Valathame or one of the other angels who sent it. Could’ve been King Lucy sneaking one in for us. I feel very confident in the fact that, trap or not, we’re going to find Sweyn right where that dream says we will.”

“I don’t like that answer,” Warner whispered. “Keep talking.”

“If Coop’s dream wasn’t a trap, then someone thinks this could be our chance to kill the bitch⁠—”

“And if it was a trap?” I gripped the hilts of my sais strapped to my thighs. “Then what?”

“Then we need to know his dreams are being infiltrated. Knowledge is power. If it’s a trap, then I need to figure out some extra safety measures for his mind so Lilith can’t sneak in.” At that, Tegan shuddered but she shook it off. “I’ve notified Thorne, Sage, and Saffie about the dream and that we’re going. They didn’t respond, but I trust if it’s a trap, they’ll sense it⁠—”

“Because it’s daylight, which means if the Unseelie are out, they’re on the fey lines.” I cursed. “Because the fey lines run rampant through New Orleans.”

“You got it, Franks.” Tegan pursed her lips. “But maybe go see if Everest is awake? I don’t want to disturb his rest but just try? Leave a note if he is?”

“On it.” I slid around Lennox and hurried up the stairs to my room.

Tegan told me not to wake him, that he needed his rest—-and he really did need to rest. He’d used a lot of magic and strength in the Land of the Lore and then last night in Central Park. Without him we may not have all walked out of those battles. The weakness in him when I’d found him in my bathroom trying not to feed from me was alarming. But I had a really bad feeling about this plan of ours. It was a trap. It had to be. We all suspected it. I didn’t know if that made us going more or less reckless. Tegan had made good points about needing to know one way or another. Perhaps that was why we were going through with it. Then again, she’d just sent me up here to see if Everest was awake so that spoke volumes about her concerns.
