THADDEUS' POV
Everything is falling perfectly into place. The abduction of seven witches has thrown their entire community into disarray—even if one managed to escape, it changes nothing.
They’ve scattered like frightened prey, scrambling for shelter, hiding in the shadows. But it’s only a matter of time before we track them all down. Aster and I have a plan—one that will flush them out and bring their fragile covens to their knees.
Their panic is only the beginning; soon, they’ll have nowhere left to run.
Our first strike against the Altaires was a success. My men have begun disrupting the blood supply—intercepting shipments, corrupting what remains. I've embedded agents within the blood banks, tampering with reserves to ensure their lifeblood turns to poison.
Already, unrest simmers
