Prologue

HARMONIA

Alexi tosses me over his shoulder as the world goes dark and I know immediately that I’m no longer with Rhea and everyone else. The pain in her voice, the cries from her lips, they echo in my mind. Fuck. I’m going to be dreaming about them for a long time, and I have a feeling it’s really going to be a long-ass time if these three have anything to do with it.

Talon grunts as I blink my eyes open, revealing a familiar view of a garden I’ve been in too many times, before Alexi drops me to my feet like I’m on fire or something. I’ve barely managed to find my feet before the three of them are walking toward the red front door that held so much promise in my childhood.

Malik leads the way inside as I remain firmly planted on the spot. Uncertainty coils in my stomach, but I don’t regret being here, not when I know Alexi healed Cassandra. But fuck, Alexi, Malik, and Talon are… Furies? Since when?

I haven’t seen them since they left me behind for their own journey into the supernatural world. The anguish they caused me was gut-wrenching, and a sharp pain flairs in my chest at the mere memory.

“Harmonia, move.” Alexi’s voice booms around me as I wet my lips, staring at him as he quirks his brow at me, challenging me to be a bitch and giving him any excuse to up the ante on the game he’s clearly playing here. But I don’t.

Instead, I place one foot in front of the other and slowly, so very slowly, head toward him. He doesn’t move out of the doorway, forcing me to brush against him as I enter the house, and the second I do, regret burns deep inside of me.

Gone is the pretty red door and the sunshine seeping in through the stained glass, gone is the hallway that used to be filled with pictures, and gone is the happiness that lured me closer.

In their place stands a cell. A fucking prison. Whoever created that glamor did too good of a job. Bars circle me as the three boys I used to hold so dearly stare at me with menace in their eyes.

“Welcome to your new Hell, Baby H.”
