Chapter 15

Koa drove all the way to Wryn Castle in silence. Ian tried to start a conversation but she could only give him short, one-worded answers. There was too much going on inside her head.

Jax. The name repeated itself in her head a thousand times throughout that long ride. Her face was set with anger and her hands clutched the steering wheel so tightly that the leather grooves were engrained in her palms by the time they stopped. She looked down at her reddened hands and traced the grooves.

Ian stared at her.

“Koa?” He spoke in a timid voice, as if he was afraid that she might lash out on him.

Koa turned to him and gave him a blank expression. Ian looked afraid of her. She didn’t care. He got out of the car and started to walk up the long stone pathway that led to the castle’s entrance without her. He glanced back once and Koa was still staring off at nothing at all, with a scowl on her face.

Jax had cursed her mother. For years Koa had missed her mother’s face. She had craved her mother’s embrace for so long that she had forgotten what it felt like, what she used to smell like, and how she used to stroke her hair.

Koa slammed her fist on the steering wheel and screamed. Her breath came in quick gasps as she tried to control her rage. She wanted him dead. Koa wanted her Lyrinian sword to feast on his blood. She repeated Raven’s words over and over again.

“Do not be hasty. Jax is Greggan’s son. He is a Netherworld vamp and faster than anyone you’ve ever encountered,” Raven had said. “Still, you must go to him.”

Koa had asked many questions, and still, Raven only told her that she must go to him, and she must learn for herself the secrets of her past. Only Koa could find a way to break the curse and set things right with both the Netherworld and the mortal world. Koa leaned her head back against the headrest. Even Raven knew Koa had to go to the Netherworld. Raven had even tried to convince Halston that it was necessary. Halston would never let her go. He would never risk it.

Koa wasn’t sure how dangerous the Netherworld was, but Halston’s reluctance was an indicator. She frowned. She didn’t need his approval. Halston had abandoned her. She needed to start making her own decisions.

Koa frowned. She hated to admit that was the reason he had left her in the first place…for making her own decisions.

She opened the door, stepped out, and slammed it closed. She lifted herself into the air and flew to the tall, black, doorways that led into the castle.

Two guards with suits and slicked back hair opened the double doors for her without a second glance. Koa was a regular. She dared anyone to stand in her way on this night. Inside, she had no smiles for anyone.

Greta, one of Lexi’s sires, and main girlfriend, started to greet her.
