“What?” we all replied in unison.
“Rylee is using her powers, but they feel small because she herself is actually small. Morgan has shrunk her. Which means she’s keeping her in a dollhouse. Probably with Ash.” “What!?” everyone repeated again.
“Are you telling me that my mate and my unborn pup have been shrunk!? Like she’s some kind of Polly Pocket!?”
“Basically.”
“f**k this, I’m going in there right now and killing these mother fuckers!” I got to my feet and was about to storm over there when Svetlana restrained me with her powers. “Killing her does not reverse the spell. Killing her will solidify it. We have to let Rylee know that we are here first.”
“How!?”
“Have you tried to mind link her?” We turned around to see Lanie behind us.
“Lanie!? What are you doing here? I asked you to stay behind with Brent and the others,” Chad chastised her.
“I was worried about Rylee. I couldn’t help it,” she replied.
“If you aren’t Rylee’s sister,” I said to her and shook my head. She just smiled. “No, Lanie, I haven’t tried to link her. But, I might as well do that now since you’ve mentioned it.” Dearest? Can you hear me? Rylee?
Wyatt? I heard a faint voice. It was so faint I almost thought I imagined it. Wyatt? I heard it again.
Rylee, I can barely hear you.
I… runk… ollh …use.
What?
I… hrunk … in … ullhouse.
You’re shrunk and in a dollhouse?
Y…s!
Don’t worry, Svetlana figured that out. We’re about a hundred yards away from the shack that you’re being held in. Rylee, Ash sold his soul to Morgan. Oh… sen… upid… bit…
Dammit, your size is making your link come in weak. …uck… is… ucks…
Rylee, are you in the dollhouse right now? … O…
What?
No… ot out… iding be… eaup…
You got out and are hiding behind a teacup? … es!
Ash… ied… itch memo… ake you … ad guy.
Ash tried to switch your memories and make me the bad guy?
Ye…
Okay. Just hang tight. We’re coming to get you. And this time, I won’t stop you from killing him. But first, we need to reverse the shrinking spell on you. Hur… Ash… ill noti… I’m… on…
Hurry before Ash notices that you’re gone. Wait, are you saying that he is in the dollhouse with you? How is that possible? His body is with Morgan in the shack. …on’t know. Just… me… of… ere
We’ll get you out of there.
I broke the link with Rylee and looked around at everyone. I could see they were expecting some good news.
“I was able to link her,” I told them, and they all smiled and silently high-fived. “The connection is weak, and she just confirmed that she has, indeed, been shrunk and put into a dollhouse. She says that she got out and is hiding behind a teacup. She also said that Ash was in the dollhouse with her and that we have to hurry before he realizes that she escaped.”
“How is that possible?” Richard asked.
“His soul is in the dollhouse while his body sleeps in full size,” Svetlana answered.
“What else did she say?” Lanie asked.
“When I told her that Ash sold his soul, she said that he tried to switch her memories and make me out to be the bad guy.”
“An alteration of the spell that I used on you,” Svetlana stated.
“It doesn’t appear to have worked, though.”
“Of course, it wouldn’t. Rylee is a Primordial. Dark magic used directly on her has no effect, especially like that one. Her wolf can switch their subconscious just as the spell is cast, and it would counteract it. That is why the Primordial cannot fall victim to spells and potions.” I had to admit, I liked hearing that.
“Okay, now that we know my sister is in there, what are we going to do?” Lanie asked. I didn’t respond but instead linked with Jason and had him bring everyone to our location. It would only take about twenty minutes, given that’s how long we were here before Lanie showed up out of the blue.
After everyone arrived, I sent Svetlana and J first so that Svetlana could check for magical booby traps and for J to concentrate on Rylee. It appeared that Rylee was trying to use her powers for something, but because of her current size, it wasn’t packing the punch that it needed. Once Svetlana gave us the all-clear, we all went in towards the shack, surrounding it completely. When we got close enough to the door, I was about to shift and break it down, but then it swung open.
“Did you really think that I didn’t know you were outside?” Morgan challenged me.
“All I want is my mate. Hand her over to me, and we can go our separate ways.” “Mmmm… No.”
