When no one seems set on moving, I sigh before nodding, but my response is left on the tip of my tongue as Talon speaks instead. “He’s always fucking difficult, but she still chose to seal her soul to his.”
I turn my death glare in his direction, but he only shrugs in response with a grin playing over his lips. The fucker.
“Good, then I think you need to dig deep in your souls and you’ll find her.”
My brows pinch together as I meet her gaze. There’s a hint of a smile on her lips and an openness in her brown eyes that makes me believe her words, but it surely can’t be as simple as that.
“That sounds too easy,” Malik states, saying exactly what I’m thinking as Rhea nods in response.
“One of the many times I was in danger, my soul called out to my unit.” I can’t keep the surprise off my face as I glance from her to my brothers, each wearing similar expressions to me.
It’s worth a fucking try, I guess.
Running my tongue over my teeth, I turn away from the group as I tilt my head down, looking at my chest before I close my eyes. I feel stupid at first, the room likely watching me, but for Harmonia, it’s worth it. And apparently Rhea isn’t just a good friend to her, but smart as Hell too.
I picture Harmonia in my mind, her long white hair floating around her as she looks at me with those pink eyes, both soft and fuchsia when her magic is flowing through her. She’s my everything, and she needs me. Now more than ever.
A sense of calmness washes over me as I take a deep breath, the blood pumping through my veins feeling a little erratic and wild, but before I even realize it, I’m muttering a location I’ve never even heard of before.
“She’s in the fifth circle; wrath.” My eyes fly open as I spin on the spot to glance at the others. Both Malik and Talon gape at me with wide eyes, but the curse that stumbles from Adonis’s mouth is what holds my attention. “What is it?”
“My coin won’t work that far,” he answers honestly, tension tightening in my chest as my heart begins to thunder against my ribcage.
No. No. No. No. No.
That can’t be it, not when she needs us. It can’t.
Rhea suddenly moves to Adonis, planting her hand on his shoulder as her face lights up with hope. “Use it to get to my mom’s, she’ll help us the rest of the way.”
I stand stock still, my hands clenched at my sides as I glare at Nyx, who stands before me with a grin spreading from ear to ear.
“If I take you to Harmonia, does this mean you owe me, Alexi?” she asks, pissing me off even more as I grind my teeth together in agitation. It’s on the tip of my tongue to tell her to fuck off, but Rhea speaks first, trying to mediate the situation.
“Mom, this is about Harmonia. We don’t have time to waste.” She waves the cellphone at Nyx and we can literally hear her battling with Noose. It only serves to increase the rage simmering within my body.
Nyx doesn’t respond though, her gaze remaining fixed on mine as she folds her arms over her chest and quirks her brow at me.
Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.
She doesn’t budge, not a single blink, even though my soulmate needs me right this second.
“Fine,” I huff, speaking through clenched teeth. “It means I owe you one.”
I sense the relief coming off Malik and Talon, who stand behind me, desperate for me to set aside my pride for what’s important. On this one occasion, I do.
“Good. Let’s go,” she breathes effortlessly, like it really was that simple for her to help us, but I know I’m likely going to regret it later down the line. That’s not for me to worry about right now though.
A portal appears before her and she steps through it without a backward glance. Rhea follows straight after her with Khaos and Zen hot on her tail, but before the other two step through, I slip in between them, desperate to get to Harmonia.
I blink at the change of scenery, noting the usual vibes of Hell. The sky, ground, and everything in between is a blend of similar shades of a single color. It’s still odd to me—no natural light or differentiation—but this time, my attention is quickly drawn to the people in the distance.
More specifically, the angel rising into the sky, white wings fluttering around them as they continue to go higher and higher.
“Holy fuck, that’s Harmonia.” Talon’s voice beside me pulls my attention away for a moment as I glance at him in surprise. There’s no way that’s… I turn back to the supernatural in the air and my jaw goes slack.
Holy fuck, he's right. It is her.
My gaze lowers, settling on Noose in the distance as he stares up at her too, repeatedly throwing magic in her direction, but it somehow bounces off her.
