I scowled and eyed the stairs. My heart sank. I knew those two were mad for each other, that soulmate stunt Tegan pulled had really messed them both up. I couldn’t imagine how this felt for them. At least I got my soulmate in the person I wanted. I glanced around the living room to see if everyone else had picked up on this and knew right away no one had missed a damn thing. Each of their expressions were tight and sad. The couples in the room all held on to each other a little tighter. It was the first time I saw visual proof that the rest of this Coven family knew about their feelings for each other because normally they all acted like they were oblivious.

I sighed. Goddess, I love this group.

And then Cooper laughed, like a big laugh that probably made his shoulders bounce. The sound echoed down the stairs and into the room. Everyone jumped like they’d been electrocuted. No one else spoke. All gazes were locked on the bottom of the stairs. As Cooper and Savannah rounded the stairs and walked into the living room, the first thing I noticed was how bright their eyes were and how wide their smiles were.

Then I noticed they were holding hands. Tightly, like they were afraid they’d be torn apart.

It did funny things to my own heart to see that. They must have decided to be together for now . . . until Cooper’s real soulmate showed up. It must have been a difficult decision, to be willing to give your love to someone knowing it wouldn’t last. I snuck a glance around the room and smirked. No one was looking at them, but they all had seen it. Lots of eyebrows were raised and smiles were being hidden.

Tenn cleared his throat. “Okay. We’re all here now, I guess. Let’s get started.” He patted Tegan’s shoulder.

Nothing happened. She seemed to be out.

Hunter scowled so hard his eyebrows dropped over his eyes. Cooper looked a blink away from a nervous breakdown. Emersyn’s flames grew bigger. Kessler was already lifting Mona off his lap like he thought he had to do something. But it was the concern in Bentley’s eyes that sent a chill down my spine, as he just stared at the ground in front of him.

“Babe?” Tenn frowned and gave her a little shake. When she didn’t wake, he shook her harder. “Babe? Tegan?”

Nothing.

Tenn’s eyes widened. “Katherine?”

She cursed and climbed to her feet. “Let me go whip her up something. Be right back. Myrtle is still down there.”

I pursed my lips and eyed her. “Zap her?”
