Chapter 10

I followed Brace through the doorway back to Angelisian. His broad shoulders blocked my vision of the beach house, but then, as he moved aside, I noticed the man leaning against the front railings. The black of his skin contrasted beautifully with the lighter tones of my home.

Jedi, princeps of the Walker clan Gai.

I clenched my fists tightly as my heart froze in my chest. What was he going to tell me now? The previous month Jedi had come to me and explained about something called convergence. The moment where the tethers of all seven worlds would join, allowing the Seventine to sever them in one fell swoop. And this was as serious as it sounded. Instead of giving us time to fight them and save the worlds, they would be able to absorb all energy in a single moment and end life as we knew it. Jedi had been doing some research to figure out the date this might happen.

And judging by the look on his face, he wasn’t going to give me good news.

Best case scenario was that the convergence was set to happen soon, because all seven of the Seventine needed to be free to have the strength to sever the cord. And at the moment only four had escaped their prison. But deep down I knew that the entity who’d set this entire chain of events in motion knew the exact convergence date and had planned all of this accordingly. We were the ones chasing our tails, trying to find information and play catchups. We’d been behind since the start and I wasn’t sure we’d made any ground yet.

“What’s Jedi doing here?” Brace said, expression unchanged but his tone hard.

I shrugged. “I’m not sure. He might have some information about the Seventine.” I was happy that my voice sounded calm. “I’ll see you in nine or ten hours?”

It was a pretty obvious hint. I wanted him to stay, but it was better if he left for so many reasons.

“I do need to check on the Abernaths, but I’m happy to stay if you need me.”

He was eyeballing Jedi now, his gaze pinning the handsome, dark-skinned Walker to the spot. No one messed with Brace, not even other princeps.

“I’ve got her back,” Lucy trilled, fluttering her wings. Her voice was so much more singsong now. “You and Colt head to your planet, sort the peeps and make sure you get back in time for Nephilius.”

Bossy little pixie.

Colton, who had been standing across from her, stalked closer. “Are you trying to get rid of us, pretty girl?” He cupped her chin when she rose to his height. “Because I think it’s my duty to bitch and moan, right before I work very hard to change your mind.”

Lucy leaned in close, her mouth brushing his cheek. “I can think of many things I’d rather be doing than letting you go to Abernath.” I could just hear her breathy whisper. “But duty calls.”

“Screw duty,” Colton all but growled. “I don’t want to leave you.
