Chapter 150

Uninvited Guests

SKYLA.

We reach the venue soon enough, and it is as beautiful as its name. The entire building is made of mainly crystal glass, with pearlescent pillars and beams.

The witches are surrounding it, blending into the shadows of the trees and archways.

Most are outside…

Perfect.

“The witches think the attack will come from the outside, don’t they?’ I say through the link as the doors shut behind us.

It’s… breathtaking. Damn, I never knew the Arden’s had such a stunning place…

I’m admiring the dancing rays of light when something pops out to me. Within it, dancing subtly along the chandeliers and vines of roses and ivy, Bastet’s sign jumps out at me.

How clever…

This place is hooked up… with Bastet’s symbols everywhere,’ I murmur.

‘Let’s just say Raihana, Maria, Catherine, Delsanra, and the younger girls worked the

entire night to make sure it is not lacking in any way.’ Mama explains appreciatively.

‘I owe them,’ I say quietly.

‘We all do.’ Mama says.

‘Your fucker has a message for you,’ Dad grumbles. ‘But it’s not fucking import-‘ 201

‘He says he loves you, and not long now. Await the signal and believe in yourself.’ Mama takes

over from Dad. (1
