We dressed and left the alcove a short time later. Zane had to skip his shirt since it was trashed, and he shrugged his coat on over his bare chest. He scowled at the sight of me buttoning Noah’s shirt back on. “I see that bastard didn’t wait five minutes to get his hooks back into you.”

“He was just being nice, letting me borrow his shirt. Nothing more. He won’t force me to return to him,” I said. “You know that.”

“Won’t he?”

I shook my head. Noah was hard around the edges—more now than ever—but he didn’t want to force me to be at his side. He wanted me there of my own free will. “I don’t think he means me harm. He just wants the halo.”

“We have to stay away from him, Jackie,” Zane said, straightening and handing me his coat. His wings shuddered, a black waterfall on his back. “If you get that halo, all he has to do is snap his fingers and you’ll be forced to hand it to him. We do not want that kind of power in the hands of the Serim council. They’ll use it to wipe out all of their enemies—and I’m betting that both of us are counted in those ranks.”

I tugged his coat on over my shirt. Nice and warm. “I know. I’ll be careful.”

Zane pushed a lock of hair behind my ear and smiled down at me. “You will, because I’m going to tear into anyone who tries to touch you.” His fingers dug into the belt loops of my shorts. “Now, hold on to my neck.”

I clung to him, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. He pressed a quick, hard kiss to my mouth and then raced for the edge of the ledge. There was a brief moment of free fall and a scream lodged in my throat.

Zane spread his wings.

Our abrupt fall dipped and then we were gliding through the cavern, the enormous maze passing below us. He flapped his wings, getting altitude, and I kept my gaze on the sights below. On the far side of the maze, the ground cut away sharply into darkness—a gorge. A tiny rope bridge crossed it, and I swallowed hard at the sight of it. That would have been a problem to cross on foot, but with a winged vampire to carry me? It was a mere afterthought.

Past a room full of squares—I didn’t even want to know what that entailed—and toward a pair of double doors at the far end of the cave network. Flames danced in braziers. I had no idea how they’d been lit, and a sweep of stairs led to a massive, carved door. Zane dropped me at the foot of the stairs and I clung to him even as I stood at the base.

Power pulsed here, so thick and heady that it made my brain swim.

“No turning back now, Princess,” Zane said, reaching into the pocket of the coat I was wearing.
