“You're calling about Tessa, right? Don’t worry, you don’t need to panic. I've got this handled.”
“I...” Stella faltered.
“Trust me,” Marie cut in, her tone fierce but warm. “As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to Tessa. You just

“No!” Marie snapped.
“Then stop wasting time. Find her.”
“Abraham-"
He cut her off. “We're done here.” And ended the call.
Stella glared at him, cheeks puffed.
He looked down at her with that calm, implacable gaze. “What?”

“Why won't you tell Marie? You're all playing sg| don’t understand. Ashen Pact is already chaos. Isn't
that enough?”
Her indignation made him smile faintly. He sat on the edge of the bed, drawing her head against his chest.
“Half of Ashen Pact already belongs to your sister,” he said.
Her eyes widened. “What?”
“She isn’t stealing-it’s hers to reclaim.”
Reclaiming... her own? Stella peeked up at him, suspicion dawning. “So you really are carving

Abraham pinched her cheek, then bent and stole a kiss. Sweetness lingered from the honey she'd eaten earlier.
