Capítulo 195: Chapter 195: Traitors And Tests

"Ah, Sydlynn." Odette rose smoothly to her feet, smiling as if nothing remotely nasty and conniving was going on. "So lovely of you to visit."

I glared at the pair of Hayle witches as I nodded curtly in return.

"Your messenger insisted," I said.

"We really must be going." Celeste bowed her head to Odette. "A pleasure, Ms. Dumont."

"Celeste," Odette took her hand and squeezed it. "Delightful." She turned to James who looked ill. "So charming."

The two hurried past me, but not before I shot them both a powerful question.

What the hell are you doing here?

A courtesy call, Celeste sent back while James's mind trembled. And none of your business.

We'll see. I stayed with them all the way to the car, only letting them go when I knew neither would let their shields down.

Odette smiled at me, an endless look of satisfaction. She planned this, clearly, wanted me to catch them with her, all the while not warning either of them I was coming.
