Chapter 31

Rion

I am a storm.

I’m the wind rustling the boughs of trees, the lightning striking a deserted plain, and the thunder cackling up above. I’m the rain pelting your face, blurring your vision, and I’m the mud prohibiting forward momentum.

I am wrath. I am rage. I am vengeance personified.

Pace brisk, I hurry down the familiar halls of the Labyrinth. Gray stone walls turn smoother and wetter the farther we venture. Metal and lead pipes line the ceiling, sprouting in all directions. Somewhere in the distance, I can hear a man laughing. A woman’s sated moan. Screams.

Damien follows silently behind me, an unwavering shadow. Not my shadow, but Nina’s.

“Stay behind me at all times,” I instruct curtly. The last thing I need is Blade’s lapdog in shifter territory, but I know arguing with the mage will be futile. Damien will not be deterred. “Don’t engage. Don’t talk. Just shut the hell up.”

With a nonchalance I know he doesn’t feel, Damien says, “You know, shifter, that I will kill you if anything has happened to her.”

My hands clench at the thought before I force myself to relax, my tight body loosening incrementally.

“Don’t worry. If she’s hurt, I’ll help you.”

We’re silent as we maneuver the maze-like basement. Shifter territory is opposite Blade’s. There’s an invisible line that no one dares to breach—a red rock that protrudes at an unnatural angle from the stone wall. Crossing said line is a declaration of war.

But it’s a line I’ll cross a million times if it means being with my fated mate.

I still remember the first time I saw her, despondently leaning against the wall. Her beautiful, heart-shaped face had been downcast, but her milky eyes held a fierce determination. For a moment, I merely watched her. I balanced my human body precariously on one of the pipes, peering down at the beautiful female. Something in my chest tightened the longer I looked at her. A knot, almost, with the remainder of the rope connected to her. The longer I stared, the more persistent the tug became before I couldn’t resist the urge to crawl toward her.

If my own people had hurt her...

I don’t know what I’ll do.

They better fucking hope they can run fast enough.

Whistling beneath my breath, I shove my hands into my pockets and hesitate at a fork in the wall.

“Left or right?” I ask Damien, and the scary man scoffs.

“You don’t fucking know?” he roars. I hold my hands up placatingly.

“Calm your titties, magic boy. No one knows where to go in the Labyrinth,” I say, staring down one direction and then the other. Both seemed to go on forever—an endless black abyss you could get lost in.

Is Nina down one of them, scared to death? Is she hurt?

My thoughts begin to swirl like a damn whirlpool, and I know they will only be settled by her magnetic presence.

“Let’s go,” Damien growls, shoving past me and walking down the right tunnel. I follow behind, my claws digging into the stone and leaving behind a trail.
