Klas?I repeated.

“Hurry up,” one of the voices said, my mind searching for the name of that familiar tone. “He’s going to wake up soon.”

“Fallon just broke the spell,” the other one muttered. “We have time. Trust me.”

I hadn’t spoken to Klas enough to know if that was him or not. But…Klas is dead.

No, he’s not. I haven’t gotten that far with Fallon yet, but I am guessing he used her magic to fake his death.The truth of Nyx’s words settled in my mind.

How do you know this? Where are you?

In a cemetery,she replied.I woke up because of my medallion. But it’s… it’s gone now.

Gone?

I’ll explain later,she said in a hurry.I need you. We’re setting a trap for Klas.

I don’t think he’s coming,I said as something pricked my arm.He’s… he’s… here.

What?

In… fuck, that burns.My entire body went up in flames, but I was imprisoned inside my mind, unable to react.Fuck!

Vesperus?Nyx asked.Vesperus?!

He’s… here… Nyx. Rooms.Fuck, I felt… I felt… I swallowed. Or I tried to, anyway. Everything… everything was dark.

And silent.

Mysteriously so.

Too quiet.

Nyx…?

No reply.

Because there was no sound.

There was… nothing at all.

CHAPTERTWENTY-SEVEN

NYX

Vesperus!I shouted, my heart hammering in my chest.

No, no, no. Something is very wrong.

I could feel it creeping up my veins, searing my insides withheat. Scorching my soul. Setting me on fire from within.Destroyingthe magic inside my heart.

My Vesperus.

My mate.

“We need to go,” I said to Fallon.

“No, we need to wait,” she replied. “Trust me. He’s coming here.”
