CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Gina slapped her hand on the closed door and clutched a hand to her chest. For one uncanny moment, I could swear I saw my mother standing there. Gina had a glaring similarity to my mother in their shared addiction, but Gina was too rich to let her addiction to the bottle ravage her face as my mother had. Their looks were nothing alike, but I could see a fire in Gina’s eyes that burned in my mother’s, a fervor to protect her young. “Henry, what happens when the strzyga demons catch her and make her tell them where Justin is?”

Gina just basically said that she anticipated that I was going to be caught and tortured by these winged demons.

“The strzyga demons are here for Justin—and you know it. You’ve been hiding it from the Hawthorn Group as those creatures tear through Brightside, murdering all types of Supernaturals,” I realized. My gaze fell down to Justin, and the pieces connected. “You’re even hiding it from your husband…” I paused to look between them, “You really think this won’t get out? Parker knows and so do all of those demons in the Pitchfork Clubhouse. They’re all going to be coming after you guys, aren’t they?”

“Only you and Parker know about the strzyga demons… and only because I told Parker what they were,” Gina’s voice quivered as her bloodshot eyes darted around the hallway. “I could tell her they were something else.”

“We shouldn’t talk about any of this out here,” Henry growled. “Both of you need to get inside.” Even though he was supposed to be her butler, Gina hopped into motion.

She grabbed my hand and turned the knob. The thick door opened up into a gleaming wood staircase that swept down into a large wine cellar. The room looked like a wooden honeycomb with bottles lined up from floor to ceiling. Several open bottles littered the floor. One was tipped on its side and another had smashed against the wall.

Incongruous to the gleaming wooden room was a long steel chain fastened at one end to the wall and ending with a manacle. The room reeked of old, astringent wine and sweat. A narrow bed with a dresser piled high with books sat at one end of the cellar turned cell. A television sat on the floor with several video game consoles sitting beside it.

“You’ve been keeping Justin chained up here?”

They ignored me and headed down the stairs.

Even though I had been fighting for them to let me into the room a minute ago, I suddenly felt very cautious about taking the staircase down. Everything about this room and this situation made me feel uneasy. It reminded me of the room Sebastian
