Vivaxia touched the pen and Vita, I put together.Warn Ty…

“She did something to Vita.” And Vita had been trying to tell me. “That’s why she showed me the bedroom.” As well as that strand of black hair.

Vivaxia has black hair.

My lips parted.

What if I wasn’t the first siphon?

What if… what if she’d put something in Vita?

Something I’d triggered…

By flooding the book with energy.

“Oh, shit,” I breathed, looking up for Az.

He was there, standing beside Ajax, both of them watching me intently. “What is it, Cami?” Az asked.

“Can you feel Ty?” I asked him.

Az shook his head. “I can’t feel any of you. Vivaxia’s clearly fucking with the Hell Fae Kingdom, just like she did with the paradigm.”

“Or she’s fucking with the entire Hell Fae Realm,” I told him, the chilled book spreading ice through my veins. “Something’s wrong with Typhos.”

It was the only explanation for how she’d gained this much, this quickly.

“She’s here somewhere,” I went on. That was why I could feel her now, sense her magic all over this palace. “She’s infected the realm.” I swallowed. “And I… I think it’s because I gave her the access she needed to break through the gates.”

By being the key,I realized.

Melek had called me that before.

If only he’d realized how accurate he was…

Because I’d unlocked Typhos’s mind by releasing his memories.

By absorbing his essence.

And shoving it all into Vita.

Vivaxia’s original siphon…

CHAPTER 32

TYPHOS

Several Minutes Earlier

My ethereal wings disappeared as I landed in the Morpheus Kingdom—specifically just outside the Strigoi Palace.

While I assumed Nos was waiting for me somewhere inside, I’d opted to take the longer route. It would give me a chance to gather my bearings, a pause I greatly needed.

Because I didn’t feel right.

Maybe it was the power burst Camillia had sent through Vita.

Or maybe it’s because I know what I’m about to face, I thought, aware that I’d been away from this kingdom for far too long. Specifically, the Strigoi side.
