The light grew stronger. As they came to a break in the trees, Zander realized Titus was right. The glow was coming from the windows of some kind of cabin. He squinted to see clearer. Would Callia be desperate enough to turn to humans for help?

“Depends on how bad you pissed her off,” Titus said at his side.

Zander cut his gaze to the guardian beside him, not for the first time hating the fact Titus knew every one of his goddamn thoughts.

Titus frowned. “For the record, I’m not wild about it either.” He nodded toward the run-down cabin. “You wanna knock or go balls-in?”

Zander was just about to tell Titus where he could stick his balls when a roar shook the trees, followed by a sharp, shrill, bone-chilling scream. His muscles tensed. The headache he’d been battling the last five minutes dimmed to a passing throb. Instinct ruled as he reached for his blade. “That was Callia.”

Titus grabbed for his own parazonium. “You sure?”

Hell yeah, he was sure. He’d know the sound of her voice anywhere.

“Zander, wait!”

Zander charged the front door of the cabin and kicked it in with his boot. A blur of red whipped his way. The eyes of the female peering back at him grew so wide he could see the whites all around her black irises. Behind her, Callia lay faceup on a table, her shirt ripped open, blood staining her skin and clothing.

He lifted his blade, let the rage consume him and charged.

Atalanta flicked her hand his way.

“Zander!” Callia screamed. “No!”

Energy shot into his body and threw him backward, a lot like it had in the cave when Callia had attacked him, only this was ten thousand times worse. He hit the doorjamb hard. Wood shattered around him as he fell out of the cabin and landed with a brutal thump against the frozen ground. Wood rained down from above. Pain ricocheted through his torso and stole his breath.

Voices echoed from inside. Callia’s? Titus’s? Screams followed by more shouts. Growls and roars erupted from behind the building, followed by the clank of weapon against weapon.

“Zander! Get the fuck in here!”

Zander pushed up on shaky hands and knees. Ground his teeth against the pain and hauled his ass forward. He wobbled, caught himself, lurched for the doorway. When he finally got there and looked inside, the scene was something out of a nightmare.

Titus faced off against two daemons, his blade arcing out and around. Callia darted under the table to get away from a third. Her arm was bloody, her face ashen and bruised. Atalanta was nowhere in sight.

“Zander!” The daemon advancing on Callia caught her foot and hauled her back and out from under the table. He flipped her to her back. As he brought his blade back, she leapt to her feet and thrust her hands against the monster’s chest.

The daemon howled in relentless pain but was strong enough to backhand her across the room. She hit the far wall with a deafening thwack and slumped to the floor.
