CHAPTER 13. QUESTIONS

EIRIK

Torin was busy dismantling the engine of a car when I opened a portal to his place. He was filthy with grease on his clothes and face. I took a picture, and he looked up. Annoyance crossed his face.

“You’re looking pretty glum for someone about to get hitched.”

“If you’re here to mess with me, Eirik, get lost.”

“Why would I do that? I thought you might need my help.”

“Nah, this is not one of those moments where you play the hero. I got this.” He threw a worn-out piece in the garbage and opened a new one.

“I’m not talking about your pet project. I heard you were proposing to Raine today.”

“Shhh, keep it down. She’s in the house with that annoying student. She doesn’t know it yet. Go away.”

I grabbed a lawn chair and sat. “She doesn’t know about the proposal or that the wedding will really be on Wednesday and not Saturday.”

Torin threw a glance over his shoulder, and asked through a clenched jaw, “Who told you?”

“Does it matter? I’m supposed to bring my Witch friends to hide your energies. Plus, Raine deserves to have a roomful of those who care about her.”

Torin grinned. “Yes, she does. I hate hiding things from her. Because of the Norns, we have to sneak around and rush things. They won’t allow me to tell her anything.”

“So I take it Cora won’t be told either.”

“No-oo. But can you imagine Raine getting married without Cora being there? She’s not going to be happy. She’ll keep it inside and smile, but she won’t like it. Raine’s wedding day is supposed to be the perfect moment of her life. Her best friend should be there. I don’t care if she’d be hiding in the crowd. Cora should be there.” He went back to cleaning parts of the engine. “Svana and Freya insist she is the most vulnerable against the Norns, but I’ve decided to brave their wrath. Blaine is going to hide her in the audience, then after the wedding, keep her in my castle until Raine deals with the Norns. Once they know about our bond, Cora will be safe.”

I chuckled. “Do you know what Echo would do if Cora disappeared?”

Torin grinned. “Scorch the earth. What if she stays with you in Helheim? Echo should be okay with that.”

“Maybe, but Mother would know within seconds of her appearance and she’s dealing with too much right now to have Echo break one of her rules. I have a better solution. What if Cora attends the ceremony and someone buries those memories, where the Norns can’t reach them?”

Torin stopped tinkering with his engine parts. “Who? The only one who can do that is another Norn.”

“Like Svana?”

Torin shook his head. “No, I don’t think she’d go against Freya’s wishes. She’s been reinstated as a Valkyrie because of Freya, so I don’t see that happening.”

“We won’t need a Norn. Cora was not a Witch before she became Immortal, so we don’t need someone powerful to scramble her memories. Leave it to me.
