He tilted his head. “What did they do to you?”

Anyone who knew mages, knew they would never let such a trespass go unpunished. The feelings of that moment of shame, hit me harder than a punch to the gut.

I swallowed and stared at the floor. Never would I ever forget what it felt like to be so totally humiliated. Beyond words humiliated. Reduced to nothing humiliated. Emotion swamped my senses. My hands trembled so hard I fisted them. My cheeks burned.

Onyx waited.

“I … I had to walk the … walk of shame.”

“I’ll kill them.”

“No,” I shouted to his back as he headed for the door.

He spun to face me. “No one, hurts you.”

“Onyx, I lived to tell the tale. And look at them now with their drooping dicks exposed for all the world to see. They won’t cross me again.”

He glanced out the window, A smile tugged on the ends of his lips. The mages raised posters in front of their lower parts that read, Witches rule.

I pulled out my phone to take pictures. “And I repeat… You of all people should know that it’s not wise to cross me.”

A storm of emotions flickered across his night-stalker’s face, as he remembered our first fights. How could he not. Each of us risked everything to get rid of the other. It was a supernatural battle of wills.

“Hmm,” he said after a moment. “So, what did you do to bring them here like this? It better be something bloody awful, or else I will kill them one by one, starting with the Lugnut twit.”

I smiled. “I had René put three targeted viruses in their Twitter accounts. You know he’s very inventive. And so am I. Our first virus froze the mages’ out of their accounts. The second sent out obscene messages on their behalf. And the third, my favorite, tweeted their conspiratorial comments against foreign countries.”

Onyx’s mouth ticked up on one side. “That’s why we have foreign spies roaming through Mystic Keep.”

“Probably,” I said.

He chuckled. “It’s never wise to cross a witch—especially if her name is Rebel.” His words tickled my ears.

“Now, you’re getting it.”
