“We should be getting back,” Oz said, searching the sky. “Your brothers will be shitting bricks by now.”

I pulled out my phone and found myriad messages from each of them in very explicit language asking where I was. With a sigh, I put it back in my pocket and stared at the sky alongside Oz.

“I do not want to go back,” I said softly. “Not yet.”

“Where to, then?”

“I want to go home…”

He looked at the gates, then at me again. “You are home.”

“This is no longer my home.” The emptiness in my voice mirrored the emptiness I felt inside at that realization. “I want to go to the Victorian.”

“Yeah, not so sure about that, new girl.”

“If Kaine wished to come for me right now, he would be watching this place. The fact that he is not speaks volumes.”

Oz hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Flying there would be a risk.”

“Possibly, but when I tried to do as Trey does to escape Deimos’ room, I could not muster the ability. Whether it was the grip of fear that paralyzed me, or the energy I had just spent to travel to the Underworld, I do not know.”

He turned to face me. “Only one way to find out.” His hand took mine and he pulled me close. “And don’t fucking drop me if you get tired. I’m not in the mood to track you down again.”

“I will do my best.”

Unsatisfied with that answer, he released my hand and captured my waist instead. His arms were like iron around me as he pressed his body to mine.

“You do the transporting. I’ll do the holding on.”

I braced my hands on his biceps and closed my eyes. With several deep breaths, I drew up all the calming energy I could find and channeled it toward exporting Oz and me to the Victorian. Seconds later, the two of us stood at the porch entrance, his arms still tight around me.

“How do you feel?” he asked, his voice low in my ear.

“Tired, but functional.”

“I guess I should give Trey more credit. I always thought he was a bit of a pussy.”

“He most certainly is not,” I replied as I pulled out of his grip. “His gift may be unparalleled amongst the PC—it is just measured differently than the others.”

“Well, don’t burn yourself out using it. You never know when your other tricks will be needed.”

I took his words under advisement and opened the door. The home was dark and empty, except for the god tethered to the wall in the basement.

“We should check on Dionysus,” I said, heading for the door to my former room, “unless you and Sean have dealt with him.”

“Your brother hasn’t said shit to me about it.”

With a nod, I descended the basement stairs into the darkness—the perfect setting for an ambush. But we found none waiting. The basement was devoid of life altogether.

Including the former god of wine.

“Well, shit,” Oz drawled as he hurried to the wall where Dionysus had been shackled, eyes glowing.
