CHAPTER 14

Snow had reluctantly left them at the edge of the forest once the coast had been clear of a local Hell beast pack and Grave had made him swear to go back to the nearest town and wait for him there. The big vampire had clearly wanted to come with his cousin, and she envied the bond they shared.

One that had stolen her voice and cast her adrift on sombre thoughts.

She hadn’t spoken a word since setting out for the mage’s tower, couldn’t find anything to say, not even when Grave looked at her. Whenever he did, she felt his gaze on her like a hot bolt of lightning that coursed through her veins and lit her up inside, even as it ripped her apart.

Her gaze remained rooted on the path worn into the black earth at her feet, the pain in her heart weighing her down as she thought about Melia and Tarwyn, and the promise she had made to Frey. She would keep it. She would find a way to stop herself from fading, even if it was only for long enough to end the demon and have their revenge.

Melia.

Gods, she needed to speak with her sister now more than ever.

She needed to talk with her about the fact that Grave hadn’t known why she had cursed him to a phantom life, and admit that what had started out as a lie had quickly become a truth. One that burned in her heart still.

The heart that still loved him.

Grave glanced at her again, but this time the effect he had on her was weaker, stirring less heat in her veins. That heat quickly gave way to cold, ice that was growing outwards from her heart. She had been a fool to hope he would try to stop her, and now she felt as if she was marching to her doom and he was going to throw her to the lion that prowled in the black tower ahead of her.

She didn’t understand.

Grave had said that he wanted to protect her and that he wouldn’t allow anything to hurt her again, but here he was escorting her into the epitome of phantom Hell, seemingly intent on personally handing her over to the mage.

Had she heard him wrong? Had she misunderstood?

His eyes landed on her again, and this time she wanted to look at him, but the weight on her heart was too heavy and she couldn’t bear the thought of finding his eyes as cold as they had been back in the forest, when he had made it clear he wanted the bond between them broken and her out of his life forever.

She didn’t understand.

She really didn’t.

She deserved his anger for allowing him to suffer with a bond to her when he had never known why she had done it, but still a part of her had dared to hope there might be some feeling left in his heart for her, some compassion. Some love.

His steps slowed and she looked ahead of them, and a sudden need to run bolted through her.
