Chapter 33
Alexi
My hands clench together as anger, frustration, and worry course through my veins. Being on the other end of the cell phone while your fucking soulmate is held captive by the leader of the Redvellions is Hell. I don’t think I can take much more, until Harmonia’s voice becomes clearer.
“Did you get that?”
I practically sag in my seat with relief at the hope in her voice as I swipe my hand down my face. “We did, H. We did,” I murmur, finally lifting my head from the cell phone laying in the center of the conference table that we’re all sitting around.
“Thank the gods,” she murmurs back in response before consoling her mother a little.
“Harmonia, you’re going to have to give us some kind of hint as to where you are,” Malik states, his voice tight with concern and fury as he scrubs at the back of his neck.
“I know, I know. It’s hard, the portal leads to what seems like a warehouse of some kind. I don’t know. But did you get all that, about Styx and Keres?” I roll my eyes at her, but it’s so typical of the woman that consumes me that I shouldn’t be surprised. Always worrying about others instead of herself.
My gaze flicks across the table, waiting for the same response Harmonia is. She’s not waiting to hear us respond, she’s waiting for her.
“I did, Harm. But that’s nothing to worry about for now. Once we get you to safety then we can delve further into that.” I nod, approving of her response as the guy beside her glares at me.
“I know, Rhea, but that’s important to—”
Rhea’s hands slam down on the conference table in frustration, making my eyes widen in surprise as she interrupts Harmonia. “Where the fuck are you, Harm? That’s what's important right now.”
My lips purse, considering the way she just spoke to my soulmate, but the squeeze to my right shoulder from Talon tells me to keep my mouth shut. I know in my gut it’s coming from a good place. A place of care and love.
My crazy-as-Hell woman somehow managed to conference call both me and Rhea, and by the sounds of it, without actually looking at her phone. Especially since the conversation was harsh when the call connected and it wasn’t aimed at us.
The moment we realized what was happening, Rhea’s voice boomed in my head, demanding our location so she could get to us. If it was just my head she was in I probably wouldn’t have given it, but she obviously delved into both Malik’s and Talon’s too. One of those fuckers gave up our location and the five of them were here seconds later.
Assholes.
But despite all that, she dropped everything to be here for my woman, my soulmate, my everything, and as much as I’m a proud asshole, I can admit in this moment that we can use all the help we can get.
“I’m waiting,” Rhea adds, the blond I believe is Adonis beside her covering his mouth to smother the laugh threatening to burst past his lips.
Of course Harmonia would only attract people who love as fiercely as she does. It’s who she is.
“I don’t know, Rhea. I just… the only person I could ask is standing before me made of stone so I’m not going to get an answer, and asking anyone else isn’t going to work in my favor, I don’t think,” she adds, clearly as frustrated as we are.
“Is there anything there that you can see that might help narrow down our search?” Despite the good question, I still glare at the angel who sits on the other side of Adonis, which earns me death stares from the wolf and vampire on Rhea’s other side, but I pay them no mind.
“Okay, let me see.”
“Let me look with you, Honey,” Harmonia’s mom murmurs, and only the sound of them searching around is what plays out around us for a few moments. “There’s a coffee mug here from some place called Vince’s.”
Rhea’s eyes widen as she rises from her seat in surprise. “They’re in Phoenix Valley.”
“How many warehouses are there?” Talon asks as he stands too, and Rhea shrugs in response.
“Not many that are still standing,” she mutters as Malik pulls his cell phone from his pocket and starts tapping away.
“There’s literally one. We need to get there, now,” he orders, and everyone else rises from their seats.
“I’ll open up a portal,” Xander advises, not wasting a moment of time, but as he swirls his arm around, nothing seems to happen.
What the fuck?
“If it’s not working then we’ll just transport ourselves there,” I grunt, quickly glancing at Malik’s cell to see where it is I’m visualizing, but when my fingers snap together, nothing happens again.
