“I had to leave to see my laluna.” The sadness on his features tugged at my heart. “They want me to bring you and Brace to them before you reform the melding bond. They have some information to release.”
    I reached up and smoothed the frown lines framing his stunning eyes. “What’s wrong, Dad?”
    He hesitated a moment, as if he were about to say something, but changed his mind. His eyes dulled even further. “I wish I could tell you, baby girl, but there’re some things that are outside my control.”
    After Brace, Josian was the most powerful Walker I knew, and it scared me a little that my dad was so stressed out. That he was keeping secrets from me.
    As we moved around the dance floor I wracked my brain trying to figure out what could be bothering him. Clearly it was something he either couldn’t tell me, or didn’t want to. Was it about the Seventine? If it was, he most surely should be clueing me in. I needed every piece of information to try to best them in this final battle.
    Josian’s eyes never left my face as he gracefully swirled me around – I was as uncoordinated as always. If I wasn’t mistaken there was pleading in his bronze depths. He wanted me to figure it out. But I just couldn’t think. Maybe his laluna was a hint. He’d mentioned them without much pressure from me, but that made me think that it wasn’t about them. Except, what if it was to do with the stones and he could only tell me so much?
    Were they threatening or controlling him? But that would mean they had to be in his head. I needed to talk to Brace about this. I’d avoided mentioning it to anyone besides Lucy, because I didn’t want to create any suspicion around my dad. But Brace was smart with these things, and he knew how the Walker world worked. His ideas would probably be a hell of a lot closer to the truth than mine.
    Speaking of, I smiled as my mate danced past with his mom, Lasandra. She was laughing and grinning up into her son’s handsome features. The moment he turned to rest tender eyes on me, her smile dried up. Yes, she was still not a fan, and I was hoping that we didn’t need to deal with that anytime soon.
    I was distracted then. A hum of foreign energy suddenly infiltrated the wedding party. It seeped across and then slammed against me with a recognizable force. I turned my head to try to pinpoint it, and I wasn’t the only one – every Walker in the vicinity was locked in on this new power.
    Josian straightened, his hands falling as he let go of me. “Well, I wouldn’t have believed they’d leave their home. Your little Lucy is an important lady.” He grinned. “And this is the answer to a question you asked me long ago. You’re about to meet Lucy’s father. The moment I first saw her I sensed his energy, but considering she was from Earth, I thought it nothing more than a weird coincidence. Until Malisna explained what had happened.”
    Josian was chattier than usual, probably overcompensating for all those things he couldn’t tell me. And I guessed his words meant the faeries were coming.
    The large cloud of power continued moving from the gates of Angelisian toward us. The energy was strong, humming through the air and clashing with the Walker energy inside. Brace moved to stand next to me, which wasn’t a surprise; he was extra protective of me now.
    “What is it, Abbs?” Lucy fluttered to my other side, her exquisite, translucent wings moving so rapidly I almost couldn’t see them. “Colt’s gone all growly, and his mind has shifted into this weird black-and-white landscape.”
    I widened my eyes, a broad grin spreading across my face. “Are you telling me he thinks like a dog?”
    “Wolf,” he growled at me. “I’m a bloody wolf.”
    I waved him aside. Growly-wolf-Colton was such a common occurrence there was no need for worry. Although I noticed the way Brace was watching his best friend. If I’d still been able to hear his thoughts, no doubt I’d be seeing my mate’s
