Pryce agreed.

“We know who is here following Genesis! We figured it out!”

Well, holy shit.

Maybe they could do this without their dead.

Chapter Twenty-One

Same Building

Same Time

Before The Storm

To say that Ridge was restless would be an understatement. Only, he simply couldn’t find peace. Awake. Asleep. In between. There was no place he could go to hide from the cold-hard truth in his world.

His wife had cheated on him and had gone behind his back to have an affair.

Whether it was because of him, or not, he’d never know, but Ridge knew that the bottom line was that he’d caused this.

His ties to Lucian were the reason, and there was no doubt in his mind that he’d pushed Wynter too far.

How was he going to get past this?

What he needed was someone to help him figure this out, and he couldn’t ask the one person he’d normally talk to.

Even with Wynter’s death, he still wanted the man.

Was it the spell?

Was it more?

When he felt the touch to his mind, he knew who it would be, and he realized that he must have summoned him.

Ridge, are you okay?

At first, he didn’t answer.
