“True,” Zane said. “Trix you wanna give the door a try?”
“Give me a second,” she replied, jogging up the driveway.
“Don’t you think this has all been a little too—?”
Trix came jogging back up to us not a second later slightly shaking her head. “That doors not locked, opens right up.”
“See, easy,” Addy finished Nyx’ sentence. "This has all been too easy.”
I agreed with that too but I wasn’t going to jump to any conclusions without thoroughly running each scenario through my mind.
“I have a theory,” Zane began, “but to prove it we need to go inside.”
“That doesn’t seem like the brightest idea,” Nyx replied. “It feels like a trap.”
“Or a clue,” I tossed out.
“An unlocked door is a clue?” Addy asked.
“Hasn’t everything been? Nothing up to this point has been hard to accomplish or severely life threatening.”
Staring up at the house I knew we had to go inside. Or more, I felt as if someone wanted us to go inside. The only real question was, why?
Something flew overhead, landing on the house’s center peak. Charon. A soft caw and tilt of his head seemed to ask, what are you waiting for?

I took a step forward and was immediately halted by a strong hand wrapping around my forearm.
Arching a brow, I looked from his hand to his face. “What are you doing?”
“You should let us check it out first. To make sure it’s safe.”
“Excellent idea, be a good girl and wait with them?” Zane directed at Addy.
“Safe? Do you not know where we live? Being out here is just as unsafe as whatever is lurking in that house.”
“Fuck, Nyx. Just…please?”
I glanced at Addy to see what she wanted to do. She gave me a shrug. “It’s a losing battle, babe.” Then she huffed out a breath and wrapped her arms around Zane’s middle. “Just don’t go in there and die.”
“And leave my princess? Never.”
I looked over at Maliki, being met with a smug expression. Ugh, this man.
“You’re lucky I’m occasionally beginning to adore you,” I relented.
He grinned, flashing his pearly whites. “Baby-girl, you adore me always.”
I would have protested, but his lips sealed over mine, and then he was gone, moving up the driveway with Zane.
Trix sighed wistfully and wrapped her arms around Addy and I, pulling us closer together.
“What are you doing?” I asked once our boys disappeared inside.
“I’m just glad everyone has gotten their shit together enough to let love win.”
