Chapter Two Hundred and Forty One.

DAEMON'S POV

"I think I know where they've taken her," Julia said.

"Then we should get going immediately," I replied, but she shook her head.

"We won't make it to her in time."

"Well, standing here doing nothing isn't helping-so fucking lead the way."

I was growing restless, and the delay was only making it worse.

She reached into her bag and I caught Alexander stiffen, his eyes locked on her every move. I hadn't even realized she'd been carrying anything.

But all she pulled out was a rope. She handed it to me.

"What the fuck is this? A rope?"

"Not just any rope. It's enchanted-meant for supernatural beings, especially those with abilities and gifts. If we're too late and the goddess has already taken over Aliyah's body, we'll need this to bind her. It's the only way to stop her... at least temporarily."

I took the rope. It looked ordinary, but the moment I touched it, I felt the pulse of its magic.

"Daemon and I will go find her," Alexander said. But of course, I could already see an argument brewing-one we didn't have time for.

"It's either we all go or you'll stay and let me go." Kaida said, the challenge clear in her voice.

"This could be dangerous. I don't want you anywhere near it."

"I can take care of myself. You have to stop treating me like a child."
