Chapter Fourteen

Shit!

I remembered what Dean Frost had said. The winner, whoever claimed the gem, would be taken immediately to the gods’ palace for an audience with them.

Desperately, I reached out with my magic as the ether sucked me away from the mountainside plateau where we’d been fighting. I felt it latch around the three men who had been standing near me, and I held on as tightly as I could as I flew through space.

A second later, I was spat out in an opulent, airy room with white marble walls. It felt a little like I’d been dragged here by my hair, like I’d been turned inside-out on the way, and I worked hard not to barf as I stumbled and caught my balance. I heard noises behind me and glanced over my shoulder to see Trace, Lach, and Merrick tumble out of the ether as well.

Thank fuck.

Whatever I had done to bind them to me, it’d been enough to get them sucked into the portal the gods had created too.

I wasn’t alone in this.

That thought was like a shot of bravery injected right into my heart, and I straightened, drawing my shoulders back and lifting my chin.

We were in a place I recognized. The main court of the palace, where so many of the gods had been gathered last time we came here. As he had been then, Omari was settled on a throne that sat atop a large dais. Several gods surrounded him, and I noticed Ryker standing off to one side, his dark hair gleaming in the light.

Clutching the gem tightly in my hand, I stormed toward the dais. The gods all watched me with narrow-eyed interest as I threw the carved gemstone down in front of Omari.

“There,” I spat out. “There’s your fucking prize.”

The stone skittered across the slick floor and under his throne. The entire room went so quiet you could’ve heard a pin drop, and Omari’s gaze slowly lifted to mine.

“You did it.”

He seemed a bit taken aback by that, as if he couldn’t quite believe the words that were leaving his mouth. Of course he couldn’t. Whatever magic they had worked on the gem had obviously been designed to ensure that no one could grasp it, no matter how hard they tried.

I wasn’t about to tell him exactly how I had managed it. He already hated wild magic users enough to want to demolish our entire race—I was sure he would fry me on the spot if he had any inkling I might possess more, stranger magic than that. If he suspected I had magic that should only be wielded by the gods themselves.

“So that’s it then?” I asked instead, still holding his gaze with a challenging one of my own. “It’s done. The Gods’ Challenge is over until next semester? Everyone else went back to earth?”

A slow smile spread across the white-haired god’s face. He was handsome for his age, with strong features and a commanding presence, but his smile made him look almost reptilian.
