The Wolf Vs The Warlock

Nothing ruins your day more than a bloated, stinking corpse on your doorstep. My natural optimism has taken a serious beating lately. I've been working my butt off, drafting a series of outreach programs to help the poor, lost supe kids of the Hidden City before they fall through the cracks in our society and end up in our Otherworld Child Protective system.

There's one thing I desperately need, and that's funding. But there's no money to be had. Nobody wants to invest in these kids; it's enough to break your heart. The rejection letters are ruining my morning, and that's before I slipped on the bloated corpse at my front door.

Things take a turn when I'm summoned to a meeting with Mina, the matriarch of the Jupiter coven — my ex-boyfriend's mom. Mina's offering me exactly what I need. She's got a job for me. One that I'm not sure if I want to do anymore.
