Page 66 of Hell Fae Prince
“She’s in the Barren Lands,” Ajax announced, surprising me with that vague declaration before disappearing in another flurry of shadows.
My Commander’s brow furrowed. “He’s wrong. She’s still in the Midnight Fae Realm,” he muttered before puffing into a pile of ash, no doubt heading back to the realm we had just been in before.
Melek’s chin dipped as his attention swept away from my palace. “I sense her somewhere else, too. I feel her…” He frowned before he glanced up at me. “Why would she be on theHell Fae Bride campus? That’s where I sense her, but I still can’t reach her with my mind. I can only feel her.”
Something was wrong—because I felt Camillia, too.
Except, it was here.
Everywhere.
“Go,” I told him, because if my men were drawn to those locations, perhaps there was an answer to the riddle they posed. “And tell me what you find, my prince.” I gripped his nape and pressed my forehead to his. “But please, beloved, be careful.”
I didn’t have to say it aloud. He knew.
He had already known, likely long before I had.
We have an unseen enemy who has been pulling the strings all along.
And it terrified me how close they had come to winning.
He smirked. “When have you ever known me to get into trouble, my king?”
With that playful retort, he vanished.
And a sinking feeling of dread settled into my soul.
For the first time since I’d met Camillia De la Croix, I wished that I could feel those delicate little fingers tugging at my energy again, because at least it would tell me that she was still here.
That she was alive.
That she wassafe.
But that last part wasn’t true. I felt it deep within my soul—Camillia De la Croix was in trouble.
And it was my job to find her.
Wherever you are, little temptress, you won’t be lost for long. I vow it.
CHAPTER 15
CAMI
White.
Porcelain siding.
Bright blue skies.
Pristine glass.
Vibrant green courtyards with lively flowers and buzzing bees.
Utopia.
That was what my mother had called it during my tour—one I couldn’t remember agreeing to, but I must have since she’d just taken me all around to show me her home.
Or was itourhome?
