Chapter 9

“There are moments like this that I wish you were here to hold my hand. To remind me that I am not in this alone. Each day I think it will get easier. That the pain will lessen. But I’m beginning to think that it will only grow stronger with time. That the hole left inside of me will never close.” ~Lilly

“Tell me again why I can’t go completely stabby on that serpent-tongued, vile waste of space?” Myanin stomped back and forth in front of Lilly. Gerrick stood off to the side, leaning against a wall of the throne room in the warlock mountain. It was a space Lilly rarely used. The room filled her mind with memories of her dead mate.

“Because I have a different mission for you and Gerrick. That’s why. And as long as you live here, you are under my rule. Considering you’re mated to my general, I don’t see that changing anytime soon. So I suggest you get used to it.”

Myanin paused and looked at Lilly. “Wow.” The djinn smiled. “You’re really owning this whole queen thing.”

Lilly rolled her eyes. “Thank you for your vote of confidence.”

Myanin’s brow rose. “I never said you had my vote. I’m simply pointing out you don’t act like the other cotton-candy-spined humans.” She huffed. “And I dislike the choice you are making at the moment.”

Lilly looked over at Gerrick and folded her arms in front of her. “Is she going to be a problem?”

“Um”—Myanin snapped her fingers at Lilly—“I am not an obediently trained dog.”

The warlock queen ignored the djinn and kept her focus on Gerrick, who said, “I will ensure she sees reason and focuses on the task you have for us.”

“Traitor,” Myanin muttered under her breath.

“Would you like to hear your assignment before you throw a tantrum like a four-year-old?” Lilly tilted her head at Myanin and tapped her foot.

The information Lilly had given Fane—that she had no recent premonitions—was no longer accurate. Upon her return to the mountain, Lilly had nearly fallen to the ground with the force that hit her mind. They were just images, but they were vivid enough to show that something very serious was happening—something that would change their world drastically if Fane didn’t act. Lilly had called the alpha immediately.

Fane requested she send some of her people with Dillon to the location she’d seen in her mind. Because Gerrick and Myanin wouldn’t be joining the assault on Alston’s compound, and because Myanin clearly needed something to occupy her dangerous mind, Lilly decided that Gerrick and his mate would be perfect for the task.

“Fine,” Myanin grumbled. Lilly had to stifle a laugh. The djinn sounded very much like Jacque had during her adolescent years, especially when she’d been given chores she didn’t want to do, which was pretty much all the time in those days. “What is this so-called very important task that most likely means I don’t get to kill anyone?”

Gerrick chuckled but tried to disguise it as a cough when his female shot him a death glare.
