Chapter Two

Not a word was spoken between Cashton and Reveca as they made their way out of the cave and then boarded the large vessel that Erio had captained to Crass. Even aboard they didn’t speak. Reveca was in deep thought recounting the barter, ensuring she had not let a loophole go unnoticed for Crass to take advantage of. She was sure she hadn’t.

She was also plotting, matching her paranormal battles with her mortal ones. Searching for a way to find these three souls and send them all at once to Crass before his deadline, and at the same time free King from her Boneyard. It had to be precise. This deal, this engagement in the war before them, would distract her boys.

Even though Reveca and Talon were going through the shit he’d stirred up, the boys would listen to his orders; ones that they felt were spoken for the Club’s protection. They’d ensure King remained at the Boneyard. And when they did so, all of Reveca’s efforts would have been in vain. She had to find a way around them.

It was when they were back in their fishing boat, when Cashton was gently rowing through the Edge to its borders and with the sunrise at his back that he decided to say something, pull Reveca from the plots she was confident were rock solid.

“Zale’s name was on the list.” He spoke quietly even though he was sure they were alone with the dead, and Zale was not lurking in the distance.

Reveca glanced to him then back to the sunrise behind him, the beauty of it, the energy she felt coming from it.

“It was the first name on the list, Reveca.”

“I’m aware.”

Cashton clenched his jaw as he rowed. “He began this hell.”

“I knew that long before I saw Crass. We all did. Zale admitted as much.”

“How are you going to bring him down and set King free at the same time?”

“I have plans.”

“Plans that have plotted your way around the impossible?” he asked in a disbelieving tone.

“I liked you better when you were the positive one of the group.”

“You need him,” Cashton said assertively, speaking of King.

“I need no man. I haven’t in all this time.” She looked at him. “I need energy. I needed camaraderie. I needed a family, and that is what I have.”

“It’s not the same, and you know it. The energy King gives you is of your soul. You can’t find that power anywhere else. You could find a sensation that mimics it, but it’s not the same and by now you definitely know that.”

Reveca looked back to him. “I’m not dependent on anyone.”

“Do you think I’m telling you that you are? That you’re weak without him?”

“Sure as hell sounded like it.”

“I meant the pair of you. Setting him free, what does that do? He will not gain the power you want him to without you. He needs you as much as you need him. You empower each other because you are one. That’s what you are going to need to face all of this.
