CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The next few days passed oddly slow. Eric hadn’t seen Natalia since he took her to the beach. He deposited her at her house and went to orchestrate the rest of his plans. The look in her eyes worried him when he left. She agreed to stay hidden, out of sight of Carina’s men, but it was the same look Ivy had given him a million times. He doubted she stayed inside more than ten minutes after he left. That girl had a death wish, and Carina would be happy to grant it.

Eric’s plans came along slowly. It was almost painful. There were so many facets and it appeared that someone was moving against him. If he didn’t act quickly enough, he would lose what he worked so hard to achieve. He managed to avoid Valefar, though he knew they were looking for him. A spell here and an incantation there blocked the minds of the people who saw him, making it like he didn’t exist.

The closest anyone had come to capturing him was Mandor, and Eric wasn’t sure how Mandor located him. Maybe Ivy could sense his whereabouts, but being locked in the Underworld prevented her from appearing herself. And the Accords between the angels and the demons about when it was permissible for the Queen to extract one of her kind, well, the angels would prefer killing the disturbance rather than drawing attention. His final act would cross the line though, and he knew without a doubt, that Ivy would be within her rights to extract Eric. In the meantime, she would have Valefar searching for him, but he was always two steps ahead.

The only variable was Natalia. He hoped that they didn’t realize how he felt about her. He couldn’t turn himself in yet. There was more to do, an act that would be unforgivable. It would warrant his death. Without that act, he knew what would happen.

It was too late for Natalia, already. He could feel it. That girl was attached to him, and he didn’t think her perversions—if she even had them—would make her exempt from the curse. She’d die. It was that simple. This was the only way to prevent it. Eric told himself, coldly over and over that she’d just have to deal with it, like his death wouldn’t matter to her, that she could deal with losing him the same way she dealt with everything else. But Natalia wasn’t that cold. His disappearance would hurt her. She’d mourn him. They’d grown too close, been together too long. It was his own damn fault. He should have left her to the demons, but… there was something about her.

He’d seen hundreds of people slaughtered when the gates of Hell open. Those months, he kept telling himself that one life didn’t matter—it was the twisted Martis way of thinking—and it made him look at the big picture and what would be lost. One life didn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. He’d almost walked past Natalia.
