10 Sebastian Tyla was still passed out by the time we got to the cabin I’d rented, so I carried her inside and laid her on the bed. Taking one last glance at her, I shut the door to the bedroom and retreated downstairs. I pulled out the stone and set it on the kitchen table. Why hadn’t it worked for me? Sliding my phone out, I dialed Seraphina’s number. She was one of the Royal Pack elders, and a wolf who had the magic of a witch. “Hello,” she answered. “Seraphina, it’s Sebastian.” “Oh dear, you don’t sound so good. I take it there’s bad news.” Sighing, I sat down on the couch. “It’s not good. In fact, I have to call Sophia and Erle as soon as I get off the phone with you.” “Where’s Tyla?” I closed my eyes and concentrated on her in the room above. She was still breathing heavily.
