CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

HALWEN

Caught between two monsters, I wasn’t sure who was worse. The titan who locked up and tortured my mate, who’d imprisoned fuck knows how many people … or the other Locke, who’d done things so vile they were unspeakable. Unthinkable.

I'll do far more than look at those boys.

Not if I rip out your fucking throat.

Strength filled me the longer we spent in Hell, even if it was the Damned Realm I hated with a vengeance. The pit of ashes that opened inside me when I poured magic into Cronus was bigger, deeper. It was like dry tinder to my rage; when struck, it burst into flame in so many colours I lost count. I had so much of it, I didn’t know what to do with it, but I turned to keep both Cronus and Gauvan in my sight and eyed the latter. Actually, I did have a few ideas about how to use this magic.

“Back the fuck up,” Kai snarled, his voice deep and resonant, a tone I’d heard so rarely. “Wynvail, get them out of here. Now!” he yelled.

“I believe,” Cronus said, tilting his head as he watched us all—the bleached terror on Wane’s and Harvey’s faces, the rage and horror on everyone else’s, the pure murder in mine, “this is what is called a checkmate.”

I inhaled a slow, steadying breath and felt more of the ashes catch fire inside me, flickering emerald and scarlet and silver. Cutting him open, weakening him, had awakened something in me. Let’s see what you can do.

I needed to kill them both, needed to attack them at the same time, but that was impossible. The second I moved for Gauvan, Cronus would kill me. The second I went for Cronus, Gauvan would hurt my mates. And he’d hurt them enough for multiple lifetimes.

“Checkmate?” I mused, unable to keep the fury from my voice.

The Fury…

I blinked and the fire doused in my blood, replaced by something ancient and dry and cold.

“Cronus, lord of time,” I said, and my voice wasn’t entirely mine. “You are an insult to life, your crimes so vast they cannot be listed.”

Cronus tilted his dark head, amusement flickering in eyes that shone with power. “Is that so?”

I flexed my hand on my knife, blood pounding in my ears. Mine. His. My mates’. A hundred distant heartbeats, getting rapidly closer. One was closer than all the rest. But… Gauvan’s? Where was Gauvan’s heartbeat?

“I’ve missed you, boys,” the monster said in a low, oily voice that made my stomach twist. I swallowed back bile, the taste—and the horror—making my eyes sting with tears.

“As long as you live,” I breathed to Cronus, watching them both from the corner of my eye, “the world will know discord and suffering. With your death, imbalance will shift to balance. The guilty will be punished; the innocent will be spared. Everything will end with you.”

“Or it’ll end with you,” Cronus countered, watching, waiting. For what?

Whatever it was, I couldn’t allow it to happen. I reached
