Chapter 11

I awoke with a gasp, eyes wide and chest heaving, feeling as though this wasn’t the first time I’d done so since Aden wrapped his hand around my wrist and infected me. A third djinn poisoning, and I once again lived to tell the tale.

I was a freakin’ miracle.

“Kaye,” a familiar voice whispered as I tried to focus on the dimly lit room. My limbs felt stiff and aching despite the downy softness of the bed I found myself in, but my mind was steadily clearing. Seconds later, Zayne’s worried face slid into view, and before he could say another word, I threw my arms around him and squeezed with all my might.

“Zayne!”

Somehow, I was safe, with family, and after a quick glance at my veins, no longer infected with the djinn’s poison. My half-brother hugged me tightly, hushing me when the tears surfaced and fell. After all I’d been through, I couldn’t stop the storm from quaking, the dams from bursting, and he just held me as I sobbed into his chest. A hand rubbed up and down my back, and when the flood finally eased, I managed to spare a peek over his shoulder and quickly realized I was in my old bedroom at the Hive.

“W-What?” I sat back with a sniffle, unshed tears still clinging to my lashes. The room seemed almost untouched since I had last used it, yet I couldn’t understand how or why I was here. My last memory, besides the hazy bits of fog and gray that made no sense, was the forest. And Aden. And…

The artifact! I patted myself down, praying he hadn’t found the spare, but Zayne gently took hold of my hands and held them within his own—his long fingers acting like snares.

“Take a breath,” he instructed. “You’re safe now.”

“Zayne, I—”

“I had heard whispers that the dragon shifters were searching for you,” he admitted, his brow furrowed, “but I didn’t believe it. I assumed Darius would have come to me…”

“He… has a lot on his plate,” I offered weakly.

“A few of my men found you wrapped in a trench coat at the edge of the city. We brought you to the Hive to heal in peace,” Zayne told me with a slight shake of his head. “You’ve been in and out of conscious for about a day and a half now. It appeared you’d been poisoned by—”

“A djinn.” I cleared my throat, in need of water. As if reading my mind, Zayne fetched a cool glass from the wooden desk beneath the window. I took a much-needed gulp, then another, and another, until I drained the cup dry and handed it back. A vision of Aden’s face flashed across my mind, and I swore I heard my inner voice snarl. The feeling was mutual, sweetheart. “I know about the djinn. I remember. He kidnapped me.”

Zayne’s features contorted from tempered curiosity to flushed rage. “What?”

Before he flew off the handle, I composed myself as best I could and explained what
