CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Zoey

I heard Stevie Rae’s horrified gasp echoed by everyone surrounding us, but Darius didn’t hesitate. “Are there any Raven Mockers left alive here?”

“None. May their souls rot eternally in the deepest depths of the Otherworld,” Lenobia said bitterly.

“Did anyone else die?” I asked.

“No, though there are several wounded. They’ve filled the infirmary. Neferet was our only real healer, and now that she . . .” Lenobia’s voice trailed off.

“Then Zoey needs to get to the wounded,” Stark said.

Lenobia and I wrinkled our foreheads questioningly at him.

“Me? But I’m—”

“You’re the closest thing we have to a High Priestess. If there are hurt fledglings and vampyres at the House of Night, they need their High Priestess,” Stark said simply.

“Especially if she has an affinity for spirit. You could definitely help soothe the wounded,” Darius added.

“You are correct, of course,” Lenobia said, brushing her long white-blond hair back from her face. “I’m sorry. Stasia’s death has taken a toll on me. I’m not thinking clearly.” She smiled at me, but it was really more of a grimace of upturned lips than a true smile. “Your help is welcome and needed, Zoey.”

“I’ll do whatever I can.” I put pretend confidence in my voice, but the truth was, just the thought of hurt people was making my stomach sick.
