Chapter twenty one

Nobody slept much that night, but I was the only one who went looking for company instead of silence.Lucifer was where I expected him, on the terrace, though he wasn't holding a drink this time. Just standing, hands braced against the stone railing, looking out at the garden like it might tell him something about the ground beneath it that six years of ownership hadn't."You should be resting," he said, without turning."You keep saying that to me. I keep not listening."He almost smiled. Almost. "I've noticed."I came to stand beside him, close enough that our arms touched, and for a while neither of us said anything, the two of us watching the same dark garden that apparently held a second repository, an ancient throne, and my entire unresolved childhood underneath it somewhere."Are you afraid of what I'm becoming," I said.He didn't answer right away, which was itself an answer of a kind. When he finally spoke, he didn't look away from the garden."Yes."I hadn't expected him to

Chapter Twenty two

The old well sat behind the servants' quarters exactly where Mira said it would, ringed with stones gone dark and slick with moss that shouldn't have grown that thick in a climate this dry. Someone had sealed the mouth of it with a slab of granite decades ago, and even from ten feet away, I could feel my mark responding to it, a low insistent pull, different from the sharp burn Ilara had caused, quieter, older, patient in a way that made my skin crawl worse than pain would have."That's not natural stone," Kael said, crouching beside it. "Someone carved wards into the underside before they sealed it over. I can feel the edges of them from here.""Can you open it," Lucifer said."I can try. I'd rather Amanda not be standing directly over it when I do."I stepped back without arguing, mostly because my legs had started shaking the moment we'd crossed into the garden, some old instinct screaming at me the same way it had in the repository under the chapel, except worse, closer to home, c

The well didn't have stairs, not exactly. What waited beneath the sealed stone was more like a throat, smooth walls curving downward into the dark, and the moment my feet touched the first surface below ground level, I understood we weren't climbing down into a hole in the earth. We were descending into something built.Lucifer went first, his hand tight around mine, and behind us I heard Kael's voice at the surface, low and urgent, buying us whatever time he could against whoever was closing in through the treeline."How far down," I said."I don't know," Lucifer admitted. "I've never been here before. Nobody has, not for a hundred years."The passage widened as we went, the walls no longer bare stone but carved, the same symbols from the chapel repository repeated here in patterns that grew denser the further we descended, until the carvings themselves seemed to hum faintly under my palm when I touched them, a vibration more felt than heard."They're getting closer," Lucifer said, g

The lead operative recovered his nerve faster than the others, which was, I would later understand, exactly the kind of mistake that got faction soldiers killed in encounters like this one."Take her," he said, and the five behind him moved."The ring only half-completes on its own," Lucifer said quickly, low, meant only for me. "It draws on whatever power you can already reach and finishes shaping it into something permanent. Whatever you feel right now, it isn't the whole bond arriving. It's the fastest, roughest version of it, because we didn't have days to do this properly."That explained the speed at least, if not the fear underneath it.I didn't decide what happened next so much as allow it. Gold light poured from my hands before the first operative closed half the distance between us, a wall of it, deliberate this time instead of erupting on its own, and it caught him mid-stride and threw him back into the passage hard enough that I heard bone crack against stone.Lucifer move
