CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

TENN

This had to be a trap. Had to be.

Tenn’s skin practically crawled off his bones as they made their way through the castle, first through the grand entryway, then through the crystalline maze of frozen bodies, following the tracking rune seared on Tomás’s heart.

Tomás didn’t move.

Nothing in this accursed castle of ice and frozen blood moved.

No guards. No necromancers. Not even a kraven.

Tenn knew Tomás could sense them. Anyone with a lick of power could sense them. All four were open to their Spheres, scanning and ready to defend or attack at the drop of a hat. He sensed Tomás’s rune down in the cellars, but try as he might, he couldn’t feel him with Earth. He strained his senses further. He felt the tunnels and stairways, a veritable beehive of chambers. But there was a void surrounding Tomás. Tenn couldn’t sense anything—not a room, and definitely not the people inside. It reminded him way too much of the Witches, of the runes that had made them invisible to the outside world. Invisible to anyone who didn’t know the right runes.

Something was hiding within that void. Something much, much worse than Tomás.

Nothing good could be hidden in a place like this.

“Do you feel anything?” he asked the others.

No one answered. No one felt a thing.

Kianna stood at his side, a sword in one hand and pistol in the other, Earth a twining green in her gut. Only a few hours in, she had gotten a handle on her power far better than Tenn had when he first attuned. He would have been jealous if not for the necessity of their circumstance, if not for the knowledge that to her, magic was just a weapon, and if there was one thing she had a handle on in this world, it was weaponry.

The twins stalked behind him, flames from Devon’s agitation flickering around them. They cast shards of light over the ice, which almost looked beautiful, if not for the nightmares illuminated inside. Dreya pulled through Air, a constant whirlwind that billowed all of their clothes and sent goose bumps over his skin.

They all knew the weight of this situation. All knew they needed to be on the highest alert.

Even if they didn’t know what exactly they were walking into, it didn’t take insight to know they were nearing the end of their story. Caius’s words still rang in Tenn’s ear. The Dark Lady had been part of the Church. The Dark Lady was still alive. She was at the center of this. All of this. And as Water churned in his gut, sucking him forward like a whirlpool, he knew in the darkest shadows of his bones she was here, too.

He hated to guess what that might mean Aidan was doing here.

He wanted so badly to sit Aidan down and talk to him, reason with him. He was destroying the Kin, and Tenn had to believe that was a good thing. But something wasn’t right. Whatever Aidan was doing here wasn’t good.
