Chapter 11

AIDAN POV

Aidan’s fingers dug into the brittle bark of the tree as he prepared to spring to another branch, following the two clueless men through the Never forest. Bodhi and Heath chattered away, their voice drifting up to the canopy of leaves above them. Aidan clicked his tongue against the roof of his mouth and shook his head at their loud footsteps. Breaking branches, leaving their scent on every tree they brushed against.

Bodhi and Heath seemed to have lost any self-preservation in their own personal prisons. Though, the more that Aidan thought about it, the more that he was convinced that Bodhi hadn’t been subjected to prison at all. After all, was it punishment for a glutton to be stuck in the body of a pig?

Perhaps the Never forest was punishment enough for Bodhi and the knowledge that Pandora had spared him. Aidan would never know. Bodhi had been the last one to succumb to one of her petty curses. Aidan’s mind was stuck on the poem that Ophelia had recited with an ease that made him uncomfortable. Bodhi had managed to send a melody across the bone ward. That did not sit right with him. The Seven could not travel across the bone ward. It was not possible.

Ezra and Ophelia had been gone a long while, but the only person that Aidan worried about was the Bride. He hoped that she would understand that his twin’s hostility came from a deeply broken place. Though, that hope was a dim one. Only one other Bride had successfully freed Aidan and Ezra from their botanical prison—but time had run out for her. Being part of a tree was a vastly different existence from living as a King in Hell before the beasts had come.

The Behemoth had lost interest in the people trekking through the forest; unable to catch its prey, it shrunk down and slinked away to its lair.

Then he saw it, and his stomach sunk.

Aidan rubbed his hand over his face, pressing his palm against his mouth. He remembered the temple. With the appearance of a stone-hut, larger on the inside than its paltry exterior. Ezra’s place of worship. His brother had once believed that having a wretched excuse for a temple would encourage his subjects to be generous with their tithes. Why had Ezra’s home been the one pulled from Hell when everything went to shit?

Aidan did not want to entertain the thought of his brother’s trauma as he studied the temple. Somehow, he knew that his brother was inside lost in his own private hell.

Aidan dropped down from the branch, his feet barely making a sound as he landed behind Bodhi and Heath. Both men turned, their muscles tensed as if ready to attack. Neither one would ever admit that Aidan had scared them. Aidan, amused, did not smile but watched hawkishly as both of the men relaxed.

“There is a stone building, as the crow flies, across that ridge,” Aidan tilted his jaw to the side. “Their trail ends there.
