CERBERUS DIDN’T FEEL right in this strange place Aphrodite had set Lexi up in. It was comfortable and secure and a bribe of a whole new sort, since Lexi didn’t remember how she’d gotten here. As far as she was concerned, she had the right barter at the right time.

She watched TV, and Cerberus tried not to pace. He needed to get out of here.

“Wake up. I need you by my side.”

That was her voice, but it was in his head. There was no question. “Lexi?” He risked broadcasting the question. “My Lexi?”

“Yes. Is it you? Of course it’s you.” Her voice sounded glorious. It should be identical to the one he’d been hearing for days, but it wasn’t. This one knew him. Loved him.

A caress that wasn’t there brushed his face, and longing burst through him. He winced at the onslaught of sensation. Scents that didn’t meld with this world. Dirt. Death. Actual Lexi.

He squeezed his eyes shut tight, until stars danced behind the lids. Cool, heavy air pressed in on him, clogging his nostrils. His back was pressed against something hard. Was he lying down?

Cerberus dared look, and found Lexi kneeling next to him, darkness behind her. She grinned, brighter than the sun when she met his gaze.

“Hey, gorgeous,” he said. She was, too. The most incredible sight he’d ever seen. The smudges on her cheeks. The mark on her neck that said Truth.

“Hey, yourself.”

She leaned in, and he expected a kiss. Instead, she wobbled and grimaced. Then she threw her head back and let out the most horrifying scream he’d ever heard. She grabbed her head, and the room went black.

“Lexi?” His concern overlapped with another voice. Actaeon. At least she hadn’t been alone. Cerberus sat up and reached for her. “Lexi?”

Images assaulted him when he sent the thought. Betrayal, longing, fury—it all rode on snippets of the events he’d watched her live. Those moments he’d traipsed through in her mind.

It wasn’t sequential, the way he’d seen, though. The jumbled Picasso of the past sliced at her in shards, cutting his mind in the process.

And then it stopped, and so did her screaming.

“Shit. That’s not good,” Actaeon said.

“What happened to the light?” Cerberus scooped Lexi into his arms. Her body was light and warm against his.

“She was making it. I assume it vanished when she passed out.”

Great. “Do you know the way out of here?”

“Yes,” Actaeon said. A moment later, he grasped Cerberus’ shoulder. “I have more sure footing. I can carry her.”

Cerberus growled. “No. Where are we?”

“Tartarus. The daughters of Danaus were planning to kill you. She sent them away. I don’t know how long until they find their way back.”

Cerberus gave a grim smile in the darkness. “Don’t let go.” Magic flowed differently down here than it did on earth, and he’d been created for this. He pictured an intricate gate, scribed in iron and gold and waiting for them.

They wouldn’t be able to see it in here, but he knew where it was. “Walk behind me.
