THE FAINT HOWLING sound tugged at me, as if it were pulling me towards
consciousness. The closer I got, the louder it became.
Someone cursed.
“Is Riven doing this?” a feminine voice asked, worry filling her tone.
I knew that voice. Some part of my brain tried to connect it with the
person it belonged to, but I couldn’t quite get there.
A deeper voice answered, “His power shouldn’t be reaching this far.”
For a moment, there was nothing but the sound of the wind.
“Maybe this was a mistake…”
The male voice let out a growl. “You doubt me?”
“N-no, it’s just—they said she strengthens their power. If this is what
we’re experiencing here, I can’t imagine what it’s like at Kingwood.”
“She won’t strengthen them for long. Go walk the property, make sure no
one’s nosing around.”
“Of course,” the female voice answered.
A bit of the haziness lifted as I tried to pin down those voices. I knew
them, I was sure. But I needed to be able to see. I struggled to open my eyes,
but they were so heavy. As if tiny weights lay on the lashes.
The howling picked up, rattling the windows and walls. The ground
trembled.
The man let out another curse and then a crash sounded, followed by the
splintering of wood.
It was jarring enough to force my eyes open. The images came in
snapshots. A shattered wooden chair lying on the floor. A bedroom with
faded wallpaper. A man facing the window.
My breaths sped up as I took in his profile. Dark hair. Tanned skin.
Aiden.
Nausea swept through me. I wasn’t sure if it was in response to seeing the
man who had almost killed Riven, almost killed me. Or if it was a reaction to
whatever drug I’d been doused with.
Anxiety spiked at the reminder that Aiden wasn’t alone. There was a
woman who had helped him. The one who had gotten me in the library.
My hand instinctively reached for the knife Kai had given me. I’d taken
to hanging the sheath on the long necklace Phoenix had given me, where
Riven’s and Atlas’s rings also rested. It lay just beneath my shirt, against my
heart.
I moved slowly, not wanting Aiden to know I was awake. But as I did so,
my wrists caught. Bound. I tugged at the rope. There was no give at all.
I let a million mental curses fly and then stretched my fingers so that they
could slip beneath my shirt. They closed around the metal of the necklace,
pulling the sheath closer. But when I reached for the blade’s hilt, there was
nothing there. Only air.
