“Do you know where she is?” I managed to get out around the ball of emotion clogging my airways. “My soulmate, I mean. Do you know where they’re keeping her?”
“Nah, man,” Luz answered. “We’re all the way on the bottom floor, about thirty feet underground.”
“She might be a little above us,” Charles said. “They usually separate men and women, unless they’re overcrowded like now.”
I blanked out their chatter as something inside me cracked.
I couldn’t let us end like this. I just couldn’t.
Desperation made me surge against the chains. I grunted at the tug in my shoulders and wrist. My angel’s wings expanded, his head moving back and forth over the bond pathetically.
The lights brightened, mocking us.
“No,” I said. “No.”
I surged on my chains again. A scream erupted from me when my shoulder popped out of socket. My body jerked forward hard, hanging a bit sideways now that one arm was longer than the other.
I screamed again in frustration until my scream morphed to a roar of anguish. I couldn’t lose her.
My angel was slamming against my consciousness now, fighting to both control and heal me.
The room pulsed and spun and swirled—and then there was silence, like my entire world had frozen.
I was suddenly thrust into darkness.
Jesus Christ, that hurt.
A fucking angel.
Wherever you are, Sariel, I hope you’re doing better than me.
A flood of voices echoes in my head. I groaned as they filtered through my mind rapidly, some being too faint to make out.
I had to force myself to focus. Were there other people on this floor? Is that what was happening? Were more people coming?
The room came back into focus, but I could only really hear a female voice. It was familiar, and my angel was weirdly giddy with excitement.
Was it Aria? Had she found me?
“Hello?” I said out loud.
“You good, man?” Luz answered.
My angel moved towards the bond and stroked it. Although I could tell he was trying to tell me something, I couldn’t decipher what it could be over the flood of voices echoing in my head.
If only they would just shut the fuck up for a second!
Silence came all at once.
A beat later, it was followed by a single thought.
Sariel?
I blinked. “Aria?”
“Holy shit, do you think he’s hallucinating?” Luz questioned.
“Maybe. Stress from losing your mate could do that to you, I’m sure,” Charles answered him.
