CHAPTER 14

Loki

For the first time, it was raining in the Underworld. Then the icy wind whipped the castle, and snow fell.

My mate had caused a hailstorm in Hell.

The prophecy pounded through my enraged mind. Ice to my flame.

It couldn’t calm me.

I’d shredded my entire suite. Not a single piece of furniture remained intact. The walls dented as my fists rammed into them. Glass shattered at my roar. My guards all fled to lurk at a safer distance. The only foolish ones circling me were my three dukes, but they didn’t come near either. They were trying to prevent me from leaving the room to end Tessa.

Somehow, Esme had gotten her out, and thus my mate had started the fucking snow show in my realm.

I’d finally learned why she’d joined the Bride Trials. She didn’t desire me. The throne of the Queen of the Underworld didn’t entice her either. She’d come here for one thing only—to take my head and serve it up on a golden platter, a specific requirement of Lucifer.

My father wanted me to suffer greatly first before my demise.

Lilith, my archangel stepmother, had summoned me to the Seventh Hell—the dungeon where my father used to whip me. There was a brittle one-way leyline there that led to the Void. Lilith could talk to me from the other side briefly before the leyline blinked out.

“Are you sure?” I had asked her.

And Lilith, who loved me as a son and had my best interests at heart, showed a recorded streaming hologram where Lucifer and Tessa struck the deal bound by blood magic, and my father told Tessa where I was and how he wanted me to be killed.

My stepmother had a spyglass hall in the Tower of the Void that could see events unfold in most of the realms. She’d finally located Lucifer, only to find out that he’d hired one of the most efficient, coldhearted, and notorious assassins to come after me. The hologram wasn’t a fake; the evidence was solid.

“I’m sorry, Loki. Strike before the assassin does,” she’d warned before the leyline vanished.

I was numb for a heartbeat before the pain came.

It fucking hurt to know Tessa had played me like a fool. Anyone betrayed me like that, and I’d tear their soul apart piece by piece.

She’s our mate, the beast murmured.

Shut the fuck up, I yelled at him. That fucking wolf only made me madder with his uninvited input. He should never have awoken. Now he wouldn’t let go of her.

But I was more of a man than a beast, forged in Hell’s savage inferno and Earth’s attempt at civilization. I had my vices, but I also had pride and principles. Tessa’s betrayal was one I couldn’t stomach and wouldn’t forgive. Of all the people, she’d worked for the one being I despised and hated the most.

I was on the way to falling for her. I wanted to take care of her and protect her with the last of my breath, and this was what I got.

It hurt so fucking much! No other woman could hurt me like she did.
