CHAPTER 17

-Earth. Astoria, Queens, NY. (USA)

DYLETRI

“Here? You traced the rip to this part of the planet?” Cy asks right after we flash into the alleyway between two buildings. “Why here?”

Ianthen looks like he’s shitting bricks. “Yeah, why here specifically?”

What the fuck is going on with him?

“I don’t know,” Xreak says. “The actual rip happened closer to the water. Right by the bridge.” He walks to the end of the alley and sticks his head out to look around. “We’re going to have to throw up a Gnetica en masse.”

Ian walks closer to Xreak, his sword in hand. “How much of an area do you think we have to encompass?”

The others pass me, each one staring at me curiously. I avoid their stares, unwilling to let them see any hint of what’s going on in my head.

Zen walks up behind me. “Your tranquility grid is shot. Nonexistent. Completely destroyed.”

I don’t know why he even bothers whispering. The others can hear him anyway.

“Shut it, Zen.”

Xreak is kind enough to ignore us. “I don’t know how much of an area we’ll have to cover yet. I can’t sense anything other than the rip.”

“I don’t sense anything, either,” Ian says, and the rest of us agree in chorus.

Zen stares at me out of the corner of his eye. I grit my teeth and fight to keep a calm façade.

Because that’s working. Yeah, that’s really fucking working.

There’s some sort of danger threatening the human world, but all I’m focused on is how a certain girl’s blood had rushed against the surface of my tongue.

And how her skin tastes. Sweet and musky and so much like sex that my body’s still aching.

What the fuck?

You want her.

But why?

She’s delectable. How dare you even ask that?

I flip the mental finger at the asshole inside me. This is just perfect. I’ve gone the godly equivalent of split-personality disorder.

And I can’t let any of these fucks realize that. One wrong move from me and the danger out there will be forgotten in favor of the “Dyletri-interro-round.”

I can already imagine them manifesting flashlights and aiming them at my face.

“We haven’t had to use a Gnetica on this planet in centuries.” Nythi stops next to Xreak, peeking her head out. “The human world has electronics covering every inch of it now, especially here. We’re right next to Manhattan for Our sake! How do we know we can even generate one strong enough to hide what’s happening from the humans if something does go down?”

She has a point. Even in ancient times there were instances of humans who were strong enough to see right through our shields. Yeah, most mortals are easily controlled or straight-up fooled, but every once in awhile there’s that one strong-willed mortal who has the power to see through any ruse.

Including the gods energy veils—mirrorlike barriers designed to reflect any part of the surrounding area we need to hide.

And hold in anything we don’t want getting out.

The problem is, as with anything energy related, modern technology interferes. If something goes down, we run the risk of some real pain in the ass complications.
