“She wants to show them the garden.”

“Em, you need to understand how dangerous this woman is.”

I stiffened. “I know she is, Max. She’s got you spooked, and it takes a lot to scare you. Not to mention the fact that she is always several moves ahead of us, like when she called me when I was about to call her.”

Max shook his head.

“But more important.” I sighed. “Delphine thinks she can fix my cracked mind. That means she must be some kind of fucking sorcerer. I can rock with that.”

Kaz made it to us.

Emilio saw me and whimpered.

Kaz landed a kiss on his cheek and shushed him. “You will be with her soon, but you are with daddy now.”

Still holding Tisha’s hand, Paolo pointed to the right. “Plane, mysh!”

“Yeah. Big planes.”

Grinning, Paolo nodded.

Kaz shifted Emilio to his left arm and draped his massive arm protectively around my waist. “How are you, mysh?”

“Nervous, but ready.”

“Good.”

We all headed over to Rafael.

I knew the moment, Kaz spotted Rafael. His body stiffened against mine and a groan of annoyance left him.

I placed a fake smile on my face. “Remember, we’re not in Russia. We need to make nice with the Comedienne. Alright?”

Kaz grumbled something unintelligible under his breath.

Maybe, I should figure out the Squishy Spider.

Soon, we all made it to Rafael and stopped three feet in front of him.

Tension thickened the space.

An amused expression spread across Rafael’s face. “Here we are.”

I quirked my brows.

Rafael dramatically gestured to me, twirling his fingers and bowing. “The Mouse.”

Ummm. okay.

I nodded.

“And the Lion.” Then, with a sudden and forceful outward movement, Rafael extended his arms and slashed his fingers through the air like some violent cat swiping at an intruder. A half growl, half chuckle left him. “Roar! Roar!”

I widened my eyes.

What the fuck?

Paolo quickly left Tisha and got next to me, hiding behind my leg.
