CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

At the end of the tunnel, Cole spotted a grouping of warlocks, vampires, dark fae, lycans, and other assorted immortals gathered. They must have bonded over their intent to kill Lexi; it wasn’t often so many different immortals were seen together and getting along well.

They’d defeated the Lord because so many immortals had worked with them. And these assholes were gathering an army.

His fingers popped, and his joints cracked as the lycan tried to exert its dominance, but the shadows were in control here. It was almost time for them to play.

He was almost to the group, who remained unaware of his presence, when a gate crashed down in front of him. At first, Cole was too astounded to react before another gate slammed down behind him.

The shadows rose as he realized these assholes had tried to trap him. He roared as he charged the gate protecting his enemies from him.

When he crashed into it, sparks erupted around him, and a jolt of something quaked his body and stuttered his heart. His body spasmed before the magic flung him back.

He hit the ground and bounced across it before coming to a stop. His fingers involuntarily curled inward as the incantation they’d weaved over the gates continued to affect him.

“Easy, Cole,” Becca coaxed from behind him. “We mean you no harm. We’re trying to keep you alive and in power.”

Regaining control of his body, Cole’s head swiveled toward her. The second he saw her in the bar, he should have killed her, but she hadn’t given him a reason to. He couldn’t slaughter her without proof that she was running to the Lord.

Now, he had his proof, and she would die.

“Do you really think these bars can keep me caged?” the shadows snarled.

Becca gulped as she glanced behind him. The shuffling of feet alerted him the others were approaching the bars there.

Rocking onto his back, Cole threw his legs up and jumped into the air. He stood in the middle of the bars as his attention shifted to the other group.

“We ensorcelled the bars,” a warlock said. “You can’t break them.”

Cole reached out to the shadows beyond the bars so they could tear these assholes to pieces, but his connection to them was gone. Frustration mounted as he realized their spell kept him from speaking with the shadows out there.

“Listen to me, Cole,” Becca said. “You’re the most powerful being in all the realms—”

“He’s not so powerful now,” one of the others muttered.

Cole’s eyes narrowed on the vampire, who smirked at him. “You’ll be the first one I kill,” Cole vowed.

The vamp’s smile grew.

“With your help, we can take Dragonia,” Becca continued as if no one had spoken, “and eradicate the only enemy you have.”

“Lexi is not my enemy,” Cole growled.

“She’ll destroy you, and we both know it. She’ll take you out before you can destroy the realms or her. You have to strike first; if you do, she won’t expect it.”

“He’s not going to turn on her,” one of the warlocks said.
