Jaguar Night
“Dolan dragged the dead animal away, far into the woods, and left it for the coyotes and vultures. In the background he heard Meghan calling for Luka until her voice broke, and when he returned he convinced the women that Jenny and Anica should stay at the ranch house—the only fully warded structure left on the property. They brought in Jenny’s dog, who distrusted the smell of them all—not just the smoke, but the biting, bitter smell of the flame devil itself.Anica took the couch, Jenny the guest bed…and Dolan pulled off his boots and jeans in Meghan’s room, scrubbed his face, hands and arms in her bathroom and eased into the bed beside her sleeping form. Tonight, in here, they were safe. The rest of the ranch…not so much.But if Meghan had guessed, she hadn’t protested…she might well have picked up from him the terrible danger of manipulating wards when exhausted to this extent. And the Core would need time to recover from the night’s work as well. Whoever had created amulets for the p...robes and flame devil—the remnants of which would be just inside the boundaries somewhere—that person would need rest, too.Come the following days, they’d repair and reinforce the wards as they repaired the ranch.MoreLess
