“So we’re going again to Greece,” Harvey mused, operating a hand by means of his hair.

“Crete,” Wyn corrected. “Mount Ida’s in modern-day Crete.”

Harvey blinked. “Which is in Greece.”

I tuned them out, attempting out a smile as I glanced at Wane. “Do you wish to spar? I may use a strategy to eliminate all this vitality.”

And it appeared to assist Wane that morning his reminiscences saved him from sleep. Since we had hours till we may take any type of motion … I wanted one thing to do. Now we’d determined to behave, ready was driving me insane.

“So long as you do not cheat,” he replied with a straightforward smile.

I forgot breathe. Godsdamn, he was lovely. And mine. How the fuck was he mine? It made zero sense, however I wasn’t about to complain that an Adonis like Wane needed somebody as surly, spiky, and foulmouthed as me. I wasn’t insecure, not after ten years with him, however nonetheless very baffled.

“I by no means cheat,” I assured him, affronted. “I’ve by no means as soon as cheated in my life.”

Kai snorted loudly. Impolite.

“I will make one thing to eat,” Em supplied, heading for the door after he’d swept his gaze over all of us twice, checking we have been okay. “I wish to bake. We’d like some extra bread.”

“There is a loaf already within the bread bin,” Wynvail stated helpfully, however Em shook his head and left the room.

“It is his stress factor,” I advised Wyn. “Baking. It helps.”

“Wow.” Verena blinked, her freckled face slack with shock. “A wholesome coping mechanism? I am shocked. What are your stress issues? Homicide and disembowelment.”

I exchanged a swift look with Kai and Harvey.

“No,” Harvey protested.

“Embroidery,” Kai stated so severely I might need fallen for it.

“Oh, talking of,” I stated, hooking my arm with Kai’s when he obtained to his ft, searching for extra contact. “I need you to needlepoint me a pillow. With a cute, widdle bunny wabbit on it. I need it to have a child pink bow.”

Kai snorted and shoved me into Wane who caught me simply, his fingers feathering down my wings. I instantly considered methods to cheat whereas sparring so I may really feel his fingers on extra locations.

Verena smirked and shook her pink head. “Fucking weirdos.”

“Aww,” Harvey breathed, his mercury eyes large and spherical. “Her first time period of endearment for us.” He pretended to wipe a tear and we laughed, all pretending to be fully, ordinarily nice. Denial? Right here? No, sir.3

Verena rolled her eyes arduous. “I’ll discover the home. Get pleasure from your needle—regardless of the fuck it’s.”

“I’ll,” Kai assured her fiercely. He’d carry that misinform his dying.

Once I headed for the door, my arm linked with Wane’s, Kai halted me with my title. His amusement had pale, a furrow between his darkish pink brows.

“Later, I need to check out your again. I—” He sighed closely. “I’ve by no means learn the total prophecy. I did not wish to know any of it. However I feel we’ll want it now. If Phoebe’s proper, that destiny’s coming for us it doesn’t matter what we do. We should always at the least discover out what we’re up towards.”

I actually wished I did not agree with him, however I could not discover a cause to disagree. So I nodded and promised to seek out him later.

However I actually did not wish to know what nice and horrible destiny awaited me. Hadn’t my life already been nice and horrible sufficient?

CHAPTER 22

KAI

“You appear like you are strolling to the gallows,” I remarked, my eyes on Haley as she approached the desk within the cluttered library room the place I might been pouring over mythology books for the final two hours. Harvey had helped me at first, however one thing in one of many books made him slam it shut and storm out of the room, muttering about having higher shit to do. The previous myths have been filled with assault and rape; it did not take a genius to see he was remembering what had occurred to him. However he ran off earlier than I may deliver him out of it, and this was too necessary to depart.

Cronus had been round for a whole lot of years—millennia even—and these books may learn like fairy tales and fiction, however they have been actual. They have been filled with his strengths, weaknesses, and motives. He might need been highly effective sufficient to rule the world, however he may very well be outsmarted.1
