I turn away from him, just as he calls out, “Check the shadow planes. Lately there has been a lot of activity around them. If you can save her, then she can’t hunt me. I don’t need to be looking over my shoulder right now. There’s enough shit to worry about.”
I almost wonder how much he knows, and I turn back to face him.
“But you’ll die trying,” he tells me. “Like I said; you’re not strong enough.”
“We have Ella,” Gage says while pulling out his phone.
Slade narrows his eyes at him, but he turns his attention to me. “Leave her out of it. Don’t risk her life to save your wolf. They want her just like they want me. And don’t ask me what for. The hell if I know. I’ve spent centuries trying to figure it out.”
I snort out a laugh as Kimber opens a portal in front of us. “If you think Ella isn’t going to fight, then you don’t know Ella,” Kimber says, echoing my own thoughts. “The only ones who should be scared are them.”
“Damn it,” Slade growls. “She doesn’t have the control to be powerful yet. You’ll get her killed.”
“Why the hell do you care?” Kimber snaps.
“Why the hell don’t you?”
“I do care. But Ella—”
“Is here and ready to fight. I’ve been in the woods just waiting to find out where to go in case you guys tried to leave me out,” Ella says calmly, looking over at Slade whose jaw is tense.
“I was going to say that Ella will find out what we’re doing and go in alone if we don’t take her,” Kimber goes on.
She steps through the portal and everyone else follows her as Gage dematerializes.
“You’re going to get yourselves killed,” he says while sighing.
“Then I guess we’ll save you some trouble,” I tell him while stepping through the portal and ending up in the light planes, squinting against the bright lights as I follow behind the others.
Guess Kimber and I had the same thought.
“I heard Slade say shadow planes,” Ella says, confused as we walk around the barren plane full of nothing but light and blue sand.
“He did,” I tell her. “But he didn’t want us finding my girl. Which means he told us the opposite plane to travel.”
“You feeling anything?” Reese asks me, apparently still not able to track her in another plane.
“Yeah,” I tell him as a slow smile spreads over my face. “We’re pretty close, actually. Everything here burrows in the sand. They’re somewhere under us.”
My stomach tightens, and her presence washes over me, guiding me.
“What happens when we find her?” Dice asks.
“We kill the fucking Master.”
“Monster evil or big bad
,” Dice corrects, but I let his joke slide, because every step makes me feel my girl a little more.

The monster grows tired of the wait.
Hell is waiting to fulfill their fate.
They listen not. They don’t say a word.
