Chapter Eleven

Like hell, she’d stay here, the damsel in distress, while he ran into whatever not-safe situation he was hurrying to face.

Her logic argued that any such situation would be of a supernatural nature and she’d be risking herself without the means to fight back, but her heart—her entire body—screamed the Titan rushing into danger was hers. She should be by his side.

There might be something to that soulmate thing, after all.

Her top was intact, but she was far from dressed. She peeled it off, tossed it to the floor, and tugged on a long dress over her head, not bothering to look for her underwear. Not the best outfit for battle, if it came to it, but for now, she had to catch up to him.

She stopped outside the bedroom door, to orient herself in the unfamiliar setting. The corridor opened to a sprawling lower level that held a living room big enough to accommodate thirty people chilling, and a dining room to match, both managing to combine modern, clean lines with a comfortable, rustic feel.

She’d take more time getting the feel of the place if she didn’t see Atlas through the floor-to-ceiling glass panes, standing before a large pool with his arms raised.

Slowly, she climbed down the three steps to the lower level and looked again. The pool was larger than Olympic size, and at the other end of the stretch of water stood Rhea, her arm around Marigo’s throat. The Titaness was taller than before by at least half a meter, and the human looked tiny in comparison.

Iphigenia swallowed painfully at the memory of Rhea’s choke hold. Atlas had to do something. He had to save the poor old woman.

No. She had to do something. Rhea was after her, and Iphigenia wouldn’t allow anyone else to die in her stead.

She slid open the patio door behind Atlas. Stepping outside felt like walking through an invisible barrier. As if the air itself tried to keep her from leaving the safety of indoors. Eros had said the place was warded from Rhea. That obviously didn’t include the pool area.

Eros also said this place belonged to Prometheus. Was it the Prometheus—the Titan punished by Zeus for giving humans fire? She hadn’t thought of that at the time.

“And it’s not what you should be thinking of now,” she muttered to herself. Focus. But on what? How could she possibly help Marigo? She stood still. Atlas’ hulking form should hide her from Rhea, and with his attention on the Titaness, he might not notice Iphigenia was here until she made her move.

“Go back inside,” Atlas’ barked without turning around.

Well, there went that. “No. Marigo is innocent. I can’t let her die.” She ducked under his arm, to have a better view of the situation.

“Wise choice.” Rhea’s voice sounded from right beside Iphigenia. Iphigenia turned, startled, but there was nobody there. The Titaness hadn’t moved.

“Come any closer, and I swear to Chaos, I will end you,” Atlas yelled.

Rhea narrowed her eyes. Power sparked around her, making her blond hair stand on end.
