CHAPTER 24

REGROUPING

WHERE ARE YOU HIDING... where are you hiding... where are you hiding...?

The wind rushed in cold waves around their trembling bodies. It was a harsh juxtaposition to the warmth of the mafia boss’ study. The dark of the night had settled in around them almost an hour before, leaving them prey for all its evils. Once again, they had been tied and gagged, but the bindings this time were feeble, made for them to be able to break free.

Griffin had already set to work struggling against his. A swift flash of blue light appeared at his fingertips, splitting the fibres of the rope behind his back. His finger danced over her wrists. When freed, her hand automatically drifted to the slice at her cheek. The blood had solidified into hardened crystals, embedded into her skin. Soft skin marred by a thin slit of rocks and left exceptionally cold. Savara imagined they’d glow red in a lighter setting, but wondered, as a tear slid around those menacing gemstones, if they’d ever come off.

“Griffin,” she whispered through the dark. “What happened back there?”

He dropped to her eye level, holding a small orb between them. His brow was creased again. “You bound your soul,” he grumbled. “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.”

It was the first time she’d encountered such a thing as a soul bond. Nothing about it sounded pleasant, only definitive, but she’d agreed at that moment because she needed Jasper safe—definitively so. “He had Jasper and Sebastian, I had to get us out—”

“Souls are not things to be messed with, Savara. Especially not to be bound.”

“I understand that but—”

“No,” he interrupted. “You don’t. When you bind a soul, you are obligated to fulfil whatever promise was made.” He pulled her to stand. “Since you didn’t specify your part of the promise, it’s up to him to release you.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means, if we get out of this, we have a whole other set of problems.”

A crease appeared between her brows. Her mess wasn’t going to have an easy fix. Maybe she had precipitated her decision, but it didn’t make sense to lose sleep over it now. Besides, if she couldn’t control her own soul, who’s to say anyone else would be able to either? What mattered now was finding Jasper and Sebastian and getting back to camp safely before anyone or anything else got their hands on them.

“Where do you think we are?”

“Maybe a few miles from camp,” he said, gazing up at the stars. “Not more than two hours walk.” He positioned his hand in a rigid praying motion at his chest before opening his fingers in an elegant twist. A ball of light appeared before him, matching the colour of the stars above. “We should head east before daybreak.”

But Savara had turned away from him, looking off into a deeper part of the darkened wood. A low whimpering sound drifted in on the breeze that sent a chill through her spine. Despite the deathly
