Chapter 13

Asher grabbed me and before the front door of the shop could close, we erupted in a puff of black smoke. I blinked and suddenly we were back in the hotel hallway, but it seemed different.

I squinted to help my eyes adjust to the darkness. Why weren't the lights on?

"Are we still in the underworld?" I whispered, my voice barely making it through the muggy air.

Asher shook his head and brought his finger up to his lips to shush me.

Something didn't seem right. The hotel wasn't how we'd left it.

The power had to have been off for a while for the temperature to skyrocket as much as it had, and it would explain the lights being off.

But why?

I could tell that something inside Asher shifted. His lighthearted joking was pushed aside, and he was serious now, more serious that I'd ever seen him.

He slipped his hand into mine and interlocked his fingers with mine.

I could feel my cheeks sizzle beneath his touch, and I was glad that it was dark enough to keep him from being able to see me blushing.

I braced myself for the uncontrollable urges to creep up, but they didn't. Instead my cheeks just glowed warmly.

It was a relief, really, not to be a slave to my own inhibitions.

Every door in the first hallway had been kicked in, I could tell by the way the frames were bent and the doors were damaged.

Draydon.

I was blown away that he had slipped under my radar. I trusted him because my gut told me too- was my gut wrong?

He had waited until I was out of the way to launch whatever sadistic attack he had planned, but why? Why go for the others without me?

It didn't make any sense.

Unless I wasn't his target.

My stomach burned at the realization.

It wasn't me, it was my mother.

I'd been so distracted with my own shit yet again that I'd just willingly let a stranger into her life under the ruse that he was there to protect her.

A man I found trapped in a mystical prison no less.

Asher slowly began to creep down the hall, poking his head in the doorway of each room, but I didn't have time for that.

My mother needed me, and she needed me that very second. For all we knew he could have been on any floor.

I turned and made my way to the front desk, where I'd seen the security office. I breathed a sigh of relief when I located the thick metal door in the dark, the silver letters of the word Security
