“Yes, he will do whatever I say.”
“Good, because they will not hesitate to try and kill him like they did all those years ago.”
“They are the ones who killed him?”
Instantly, I became enraged. I had never figured out who hurt Haden and Holden, but now it made sense. Haden knew he’d die, and he knew who would kill him.
“Yes, but then he came back for some reason. The heavens must not have liked that his siblings sabotaged his turn and gave him another one.”
“Do you talk to your children?” I asked. “Will they know about our bargain?”
Malamay looked around at all the other stars and turned back to me.
“No, I can’t speak to my children when they are in Hell, not until the curse is broken. Haden would be the only one I could, since he is out to break the curse.”
His eyes narrowed on me for a moment before he sighed heavily.
“What about her?” I asked him as my eyes narrowed on Diath.
“She can’t leave the stars again. She is only allowed out once every hundred years, and she already used it to tell them about theBook of Dark Magic.”
“I know what you are doing with the book. Are you sure you want to go through with that?” he whispered. “Bringing Remiah back will be your downfall.”
“That is the point, Malamay.” I frowned. “I must fall from grace, and I will do it by fixing a mistake I made. This is what you want, what needs to happen to free your children.”
“Do you even know what you have to do to bring someone back from the dead?”
“No, that is what the book will tell me," I sighed. “I will do whatever it takes. Mikel deserves to have a mate.”
“Fine, but you better not go and die bringing her back. You need to fulfill your end of our deal,” he said, resigned.
“If I can’t save them from Hell?” I paused. I wasn’t sure they could actually find the book, but I had been looking for it for nine damn years.
“You will, or you will be damned to the fucking stars.” He moved toward me. His eyes flickered with something they shouldn’t when he looked at me—hopefulness that I would be stuck with him. “You will be stuck here with me for eternity if you don’t help my children out of Hell.”
Dick.
“It’s been nine years; hasn’t she been reborn by now?” He questioned.
“Well, that is why I will go visit Ezra.” I answered.
“Tell him the stars told you to do this if he asks too many questions. Knowing Ezra, he will annoy you with his questions.”
I turned away from him and began pacing around. Remiah had been waiting for Mikel, and the image of it broke my heart. I had seen it in my visions. She was waiting in the After for Mikel. My brother’s mate could be brought back, and I would do that for him.
“If you die, then you will come take your place in the stars with us.”
“I don’t want to be a damn star! I want the life Haden and I planned 300 years ago.” I clenched my teeth. “Haden will be so sad if I die.” I started crying.
Malamay frowned at me. “You are not allowed to tell anyone what you learned today. Haden cannot know about his siblings, and he absolutely cannot know that you are trying to bring Remiah back.”
“Why?”
“Because Haden will try and change fate again.” Malamay grabbed my shoulders and forced me to look at him. “If Haden interferes, he will not be able to stay, do you understand?”
Is that how he ended up in Hell again? He died trying to stop me?
“Yes.” I looked into his eyes. “I will not tell anyone what I am planning.”
