Chapter 27

GODRIC

Calliope just stood there. Across the room. Staring at me.

And weeping.

Not uttering a sound, but tears flowed down her cheeks as if she were trying to fill the room with an ocean of salt water. Anything she could conjure to keep me from touching her. Every time I moved closer, she countered with a step away. Each step was like a stab to the chest with a butcher’s knife.

She wanted me, but she was terrified of being with me. And what kind of father would curse his own daughter? What had he done to make her so—broken? I’d thought my family was messed up, but she was giving me a run for the title of most-screwed-up child. The ugly nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomach said I’d only gotten the tip of the iceberg with her. She was hiding something. Something much worse.

“You don’t have to do this alone. I’m here. I’m your mate. I’m not going to leave. I don’t know what happened to you in the past, but you’re mine, Calliope Hart, and I’m not giving up that easily.”

Still nothing. She only stared. And the pain in my chest grew and expanded, digging its claws into me until it had spread over my entire body. The monster in me wanted to kill something to make it right for her, and the Djinn side of me just wanted to take her and hide her away somewhere safe. Somewhere she wouldn’t have to worry and live looking over her shoulder. Fuck what my sister needed. Fuck all of them in this castle. My mate needed me.

But I didn’t take her.

I couldn’t.

I needed to follow through with what I’d started. I’d given my word, and that should mean something. I’d been cast from my family because they didn’t trust me. Leaving now would make me what they thought I was.

“Godric, thank the gods I finally found you. Where the hell—” My sister’s voice cut through the silence of the room. I turned toward her, shocked to find a frightened red-headed woman in tow behind Asa. “Nevermind…”

Asa glared first at Calliope and then at me, narrowing her eyes as if she were about to launch into one of her rants, but then her face released the tension, and she jerked the woman standing behind her forward. “I found the witch muttering to books in the library. We are ready to go get Manda. The last time I saw her, soldiers were taking her to the place they call the Pentagon. I’ve been there, but not inside. There are wards protecting that building like they have on this castle. No teleporting inside.”

“How are we going to get her then?” I growled out, crossing my arms. Angry that I hadn’t had more time to get to the root of what had my mate terrified to touch me. Neither side of me liked that one iota, but I would deal with it soon. Right after I stole my niece from the Pentagon. Damn.
