Chapter Thirteen

Brady rubbed his right arm where the pain burned all the way to his bone. He knew it was Karis. It was their bond. It was their marking. Not going after her, but moving farther away from her made him sick. He looked up at Magnus. “My arm is burning. Damn. Do you think she’s okay?” He couldn’t think straight, and his body wanted to react to his heart and run to find her. But the others were right. He needed to find Poseidon—fast. Without him, they might not find Karis. Or Zeus. This was his one chance to find Karis and bring her back.

Hermes sent word back to the group that he was hot on the trail of the men who took Karis, and he was sure Hades was behind her kidnapping. Poseidon would know how to find Hades. At least Brady hoped. He rubbed his arm again. He knew something was wrong, but he didn’t know what it was. He needed to hurry before it was too late.

Alexis touched Brady’s arm. “Brady, she’s fine. She’s strong. She’ll be okay.”

Magnus nodded. “She’s right.”

“I don’t know, man. My arm hurts. I know something is wrong.” Brady clenched his jaw and glanced away. “What if this doesn’t work? What if Poseidon can’t help me find her?” He couldn’t bear that thought.

“Brady, it’s going to work. We’re going to find her, if Atty and Azul haven’t already,” Magnus said.

“It better.” Brady’s chest tightened as he gazed out over the never ending sea. He knew he had to head out soon, but his heart was on the shore, waiting for Karis. The water beckoned him. He could feel the pull of the Syrenae call to him. He could hear Karis’s soft voice on the waves. He’d do this, for her. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.”

He didn’t wait for a response from Magnus or Alexis. There was no more time to waste. If this was how he could help Karis, then he wasn’t coming back until he had Poseidon. He fought the urge to hunt the weasels who drugged him and stole his life. Brady took off using his speed to run to the ocean. He lifted each leg high as he pushed himself into deeper water. The current was strong and lured him under the surf.

The change in his body was instant, and he barely had to think about the gift to make it happen. Shreds of his clothes floated to the surface and washed onto the shore. He wouldn’t need them where he was going anyway.

Flicking his tail, he torpedoed out into the open water, away from land, away from friends and life as he knew it, and away from Karis. The burning in his arm didn’t subside but he didn’t care. He welcomed it. He knew as long as he could feel it, that he and Karis were still connected. And, that alone gave him the urgency and hope to brave the open sea.
