Chapter Twenty-Six

Cold and dark…

Funny how her surroundings were now reflective of what she’d been harboring in her heart for these past couple of months. All stemming from the same creature, too: Perfidious. The demon who had turned her world upside down, then thrown a loopty-loop in for good measure.

But even as Asmia sat on the hard dirt floor, surrounded by titanium bars, more earth, and a solid wall of rock, she felt no more alone now than she had when Taayin had turned his back on her, walked away without giving her a chance to apologize. Maybe this was her punishment for betraying him the way he believed she had.

Or perhaps this was the damnation she’d always heard about, the one strictly reserved for Fae, God’s cast-outs.

It hadn’t been enough that she’d been enslaved to the angels, handed to them on a silver platter to maintain their existence, keep them strong? That had been God’s punishment, right? His means of extracting vengeance for the sins of her ancestors? Well, it hadn’t worked out too well for Him. Somewhere along the way, Asmia had found pleasure in that subjugation, a place she belonged, a family who cared.

Maybe God hadn’t approved of that. Not enough pain to be considered penance. Better to be enslaved to the damned. After all, her life was to be one of servitude, wasn’t it? Only now she would be chained to a demon for the rest of her existence.

From outside the cell, she could hear voices, though Asmia had no idea who they belonged to. Well, other than Perfidious, that was. His dark tenor was unmistakable. When she’d first gotten here—hours, days, however long ago that had been—she’d heard a shrieking female, but thankfully, that one had exited the building. Whether she’d been pissed to leave or upset Asmia was there, she didn’t know. Nor did she care.

Truth was, Asmia didn’t care about much of anything at the moment. When she closed her eyes, she still saw Echo’s pained face, and she could only imagine the agony he was enduring believing he was responsible for her being taken. He was a good male, he didn’t deserve to bear the brunt of that. Thankfully, time would ease his torment, give him new memories to crowd out the pain of the past.

She briefly wondered what Taayin thought. Had they even told him? Did he even care? More than the others, that was. She knew he cared. He was a noble male, one who did not shirk his duty. Because she was a member of the fiestreigh, he would be searching for her if they asked him to. But aside from that duty, was he concerned? Did he miss her?

Because she missed him. More than she wanted to admit.

Asmia expected tears to fall but they never came. Perhaps she’d simply cried too much lately. Not once since Perfidious had walked her out of that apartment had she felt the urge to spill tears. Granted, the anger was building, and God forbid that demon stroll in here with his arrogant ass.
