Chapter Thirty-Three

Roarke was amenable to fetching Aoife. He said something about her being a mega-bitch and that she needed to be schooled. When I told him that Finn and his siblings were intent on more than just schooling her, they were going to kill her, he frowned and asked if that wasn't what he'd just said. I was going to have to talk to my lions again. They were trying to teach the cat-sidhe human lingo but something always seemed to get lost in translation.

On top of that, he had headed into Faerie wearing a T-shirt that read: Cat-astrophe Waiting to Happen. It was a little too close to the truth for my tastes and I was hoping it wasn't prophetic as well.

I sighed and shifted my weight. Trevor, Kirill, Odin, and I were waiting at the tracing wall for Roarke to return with Aoife. As soon as they appeared we were going to escort them out to the open grassland in front of Pride Palace, where Finn and his siblings were waiting. I have to admit this seemed like a waste of time to me, like there were more important things for me to be doing than helping a bunch of gods find vengeance, but I'd started this and wasn't I on my own quest for justice? How could I deny Finn, especially when it was I who'd called him?

So we waited, exchanging glances ranging from impatience to irritation, until there was a slight ringing buzz, like the sound of electricity flowing through cables, and they stepped through the wall. I was surprised to find myself surprised that she'd actually showed up. I mean if someone walked up to me and said a bunch of people I'd cursed in the past wanted me to meet them after school behind the dumpsters, I'd have run all the way home and then locked the door behind me. Yet, there she was, the cheeky bitch.

“Aoife,” I nodded and she watched me warily, looking like she might bolt at any second. Then it occurred to me that she actually might be more afraid of me than of her niece and nephews. “I have no issue with you. The ones you have to worry about are waiting outside.”

“Really?” She looked me over intently, then visibly relaxed and even smirked. “Well then, Queen of Fire, lead the way.”

I glanced at Trevor, who was doing a kind of wheezing werewolf chuckle. He shrugged and we all turned to lead the woman to her doom. Well, I at least hoped it was her doom because if I had to watch Finn and his siblings die, I was going to be royally pissed. Another thought occurred to me and almost as if she read my mind, Aoife spoke it.

“Tell me right now that you'll not avenge your friends if I win this challenge.”

Fuck, that was actually fair. “Alright, you have my word. I won't avenge them if you win. Today. If you pull any sneaky shit in the future though,” I stopped and turned to face her.
