Chapter 25

Damion

It had been days since I had begun to starve the siren of water. She spent her strength trying to force me to feed her need but the longer I didn’t give in the weaker she became. My chest and sides marred with fresh wounds I knew would leave scars and my body ached for sleep, but I couldn’t give in just yet. I feared she would take over if I relaxed enough to sleep.

My massive room closed in on me as I paced the floor. Just another day, and I was sure the creature would die. I had poured so much magic into myself to stay awake. Herrick’s dark fae made sure I ate, but I refused to let them into the room. With the siren silenced I couldn’t allow the dark fae serve me like they had Herrick. I was not Herrick, and I wanted to see his people freed, not serving me.

The longer I stayed awake, the more lost memories flashed in my head. My mind began to crack and all at once, I was pulled back into my childhood.

My mother and father were the leaders of our clan in the oceans of Midgard. Herrick had gathered a powerful and fierce force of our enemies that attacked all at once. Our waters ran red.

My home burned as they dragged me away. The white flames raged on through the water, reducing everything I loved to ashes. In that moment, I hardened my seven-year-old face and vowed to destroy everyone that caused me this pain.

The men who stole me threw me onto the beach and before I could crawl back to the water, more arms grabbed me. My tiny body fought, but these men were four times my size. Out of the water, I was useless with my tail. Something hard cracked over the back of my head and the next thing I knew I woke up in Svartalfheim with Herrick watching over me.

It was the first time I saw my legs. And the first lie he told me. He said he saved me from those mercenaries. That he fought them off to protect me. He told me my family was dead. But I knew better now.

My mother’s face kept invading my mind, but I denied her entry. I rubbed at my temples as I thought of her, trying to block her out of my head. I knew she wanted to connect to me. I knew she wanted me to find water. But I couldn’t. I knew if the siren was strong again, she would force me to continue Herricks war with the light fae. I was at war with myself. On one hand, Emma had betrayed me and left with that mutt.

On the other hand, I loved her—I swayed on my feet at the thought of Emma—even if I knew it was wrong... I still loved her. I needed to free myself of this siren on my chest and then of this Hel I had called home.
