The Graves Estate makes Nocturnus look tiny in comparison. I can smell
the hemlock even before we approach the thick iron gates. The fumes stick
to my throat like sludge, burning my nostrils and making my head pound.
The tension builds between us the closer we get to the main house. I
peer out the window, straining my eyes to see what lies beyond the
darkness, searching for any flicker of light or life. A deep sense of dread
settles into my bones. There is something not right about this place. And I
thought Tenebrose gave me the creeps.
Atlas squeezes my shoulder. “Don’t be afraid, love.”
“Understatement of the year,” Valentin mutters from behind the wheel.
A chill snakes up my back. If fear were a living, breathing entity, then
this is where it lives. “How angry is he?” I murmur.
“I don’t remember a time when my father wasn’t angry,” Riot hisses.
“We killed Zeke. Bastard or not, he was still his son. There will be
consequences.”
Fuck. “I killed his son… I’ll accept the punishment.”
The three of them collectively tense. Valentin jerks his head, finally
looking at me for the first time since we embarked on this journey. “If
Holden Graves touches a fucking hair on your head—”
“He won’t,” Riot snaps. “I promise you… he won’t.”
Atlas rubs both my shoulders as if he could miraculously massage the
anxiety right out of me. “We stand together. Zeke tried to take our coven
and our girl. According to the Nocturnus bi-laws, we did nothing wrong.”
I clasp my neck as my freshly carved sigil starts to burn. The stench of
hemlock thickens, and I can barely breathe. “Fuck.”
“You’ll get used to it,” Valentin quips.
His body is rigid, his tone icy. If I didn’t already know him, I’d be
downright terrified. “Get used to parts of my flesh randomly catching on
fire? No, I don’t think so.”
Atlas kneads his fingers deeper into my muscles. “Pain reminds us
we’re alive, Maur. It connects us. Here, dab this on your neck and thigh.”
I take the vial of poison from him and nearly pass out from the scent.
“What the fuck is this?”
“Nightshade. It will temporarily deaden the nerves around your sigils.”
Even Atlas’s tone is darker than usual. He’s usually the most cheerful of the
three. I guess no one is safe from the ominous vibes of Riot’s family home.
I can’t believe anyone grew up here. But it’s starting to make more sense as
to why he is the way he is. I imagine hell would feel more welcoming than
this place.
The ravens squawk alongside the car, bound to us by an unseen cord.
Their power over us has weakened, but it still hangs by a delicate thread.
Valentin says that once I get more sigils, we’ll be able to overtake them
completely. But the curse my family has placed on Nocturnus still clings to
our souls like a whisper.
