Chapter

Twenty

Curses erupted behind me, and footsteps hammered the wooden planks as Ruin and Logan closed the gap between us.

“Get her out of here!” Fane yelled while Mykel bound him in heavy chains.

Arms wrapped around my waist to stop me from running to Fane. “No!” I struggled in Ruin’s hold, fighting and kicking as he hurried to the other side of the bridge. “We can’t leave him.”

My heart squeezed and cracked as the distance grew between us, and my breaths became shallow, ragged pants. The bond strained, angry at the separation again. “Put me the fuck down, or I’ll unleash the Infernal Sol’s power, and you’ll wish for death.”

Ruin hissed in my ear as the bridge swayed dangerously to the side. “If you do that while we’re on this rickety thing, we’ll both wish for death as we fall into whatever monster’s lair awaits us below.”

“Stop fighting them, Teague!” Fane’s rough voice in my head punched a hole through my chest. “Let them save you.”

“I won’t leave you.”

“You don’t have a choice.”

After all the pain and torment I caused him, if anyone deserved to be yanked back to Heldrok, it was me.

Agony ripped apart my insides as the guards surrounded Fane. “Venna doesn’t need you alive like she does me.”

“She wouldn’t dare kill me without you here to watch.”

I wouldn’t leave him. I didn’t give a fuck if they caught me. The moment Ruin released me, I’d sprint back across the bridge to join Fane.

When we reached the other side and Ruin tossed me down, I stumbled back toward the bridge before Nik could catch me. A few guards had already stepped onto the shaking wooden planks, heading in our direction.

I’d bulldoze them over or simply let them take me. Either way, I’d be back with Fane, and he wouldn’t have to face that hell alone.

As if he could see the plan forming in my mind, Logan shot me a somber look. “I’m sorry, Tate.” And then he used his talons to slice the rope attaching the bridge to this side of the mountain.

The guards screamed as the bridge violently shifted sideways, tossing them into the pit. Roars erupted from the darkness below as the sub-demons rejoiced at their gift from above.

“Logan, don’t!” One side still held on. I was light enough to shimmy across. I could do it. But as I sprinted forward, Ruin snatched me off my feet.

“You can’t save him now.”

I kicked and screamed as he dragged me away from the edge. “Let me go.” My talons grew and sank into his arms, spilling black blood across his tattooed flesh. “You have no right to keep me here.”

Logan sliced the other side, and the bridge swung through the air, slamming against the mountain where Heldrok stood. There was no way back to Fane from here.

A vicious howl belted out of my mouth, and Fane’s head yanked in my direction as the guards led him away. His blue and gold eyes glowed through the dim land.

“I will get out of this, Tate.
