“I was trying to find the Everspell. How was I supposed to find it when you sent me on a wild goose chase, wouldn’t tell me anything, and leave me to rot! What choice did I have?”

  Zoey’s eyes studied him like flickering lights. “There are always choices. You could have hurt her!”

  Eli turned away running his hand through his hair. “She had a mark, I knew she was Fae or a spell maybe…”

  “What else did you find out?” Zoey cut him off.

  Eli turned to her. She had her arms wrapped around her herself as if to protect from what he had to say.

  “I saw glimpses of you and mainly her feelings of lonliness that was the dominate emotion,” Eli gently said. “Look, it was apparent to me that she kept all of her valuable things in one place and I saw it in a book. I thought maybe she was making a spell book.”

  “Wes got a hold of that book.” Zoey gazed at Eli as silence fell between them.

  “Maybe it will do him some good. He needs some direction in that area.”

  “Did you read any of it?” Zoey asked ignoring his comment.

  Eli shrugged his shoulders. “A little, but I was looking for the Everspell. The girl rambled. I didn’t know it was in her, I didn’t know she was a vessel. I should have caught that in the uniting.”

  “I put a spell over that. I wanted her protected,” Zoey said as Eli turned to her.
