“Oh, I am, sweet girl. The worst. There is literally no one worse than me. Though my son may come in a close second, but it seems he has taken a liking to you. Tell me, do you have that effect on most people?”
“Effect?” I ask, my brows drawing together in confusion.
“Yes, are people drawn to you?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe? Possibly? No?” I don’t have a straight answer for him.
“What powers do you possess?” he asks.
I hold the photograph of my mother and look at him. “Do you plan to steal them?” I inquire.
He smirks. “No. But by that, I know you also have that power, which not even Valefar has. Interesting.” He taps his jaw as if he’s thinking. “What else?”
“We discovered I can open a portal with enough juice, but my own power is not enough.”
“We?” he asks, leaning in.
“Yes, his name is Maxilliam.”
“King Maxilliam?” he asks. My brows scrunch, and I nod my head.
“Interesting. I had heard stories of a man with both Angel and demon blood, but I would not have believed it. This King Maxilliam… did you kill him when you took his power?”
“No. He is strong.”
“Good. Strong is what you are going to need. Soon, people will know where you come from. It’s only a matter of time…” He pauses, a proud smile spreading across his face. “Youwillbe queen.”
“I don’t want to be queen,” I tell him, almost whining. “When are people going to understand that?” I shake my head with a huff. “I have a question.”
He waits for me to go on.
“Why can’t I move through time like you?”
His brows pinch. “You should absolutely be able to move through time,” he replies. “Without a doubt.”
“Valefar does it, and Max said all I have to do is think of where I want to be.”
He laughs at my words. “No, sweet girl. You and I do no such thing. We can’t just think where we want to be… we have tobe.” He reaches for me, and in the next instant, we are standing in front of a lake. “This is where I met your mother.”
I’ve never been here before. Cardia is large, and I traveled a lot of it lately, but this is one place I haven’t seen.
“You can’t just think…youneed tobe. I want to be here… and to be here, I felt it with every fiber of my being, darkness and all. It takes me less than a second now to be where I want.” He pauses. “I can go places Valefar cannot, but I have a feeling you are going to be the same.” He touches my face, covers my eyes, and he says, “Tell me where you want to be and why.”
“I want to see Max,” I blurt out the words before thinking clearly.
“Now… where do you want to be?” he asks again.
“With Max,” I gush out.
“Open your eyes.”
I do and find we are standing in front of Max and all his people. They appear worse for wear, but I notice they made it through Viper’s forest.
“How many days has it been?” I whisper, and that’s when Max notices me standing there. His eyes go wide, and he starts toward me. As he gets halfway, I watch as Levy puts her hand out and blocks him from reaching me. He halts, and she speaks, “She left you. Remember that. And look, she shows up with another man.” I say nothing while Max stands there, unsure of what is happening.
“You told me to stay, that you didn’t want me to join you,” I whisper, and his brows pinch. Before we can say anything more, Lucifer moves and returns in a blink, standing next to me, but this time, he isn’t alone. No, he is standing there holding a shrieking Levy.
“Do you care to tell my daughter what you did?”
