“Your magic is growing and changing. It is normal for a goddess, but it doesn’t make it any less confusing or any easier to deal with,” Magnus says.
“Actually, knowing that it’s happening for a reason is helpful. At least I know that I’m not broken,” I admit.
Their arms tighten around me protectively.
“You’re not broken, Farren,” Monty says firmly. “I wish we could help you navigate your new magic, but your path is complicated, and no one knows the whole picture. The Fates aren’t used to not knowing, and they don’t like it. Believe it or not, they want to help you.”
I smile as I pull back, “Well, I should hope so, they’re my mum and aunt.”
Monty bounces, his smile widening, “Aunts, the Fates consist of your mum and her two sisters.”
My eyebrow raises, “That makes sense, she only mentioned Nyx.”
“She was pushing it with how much she told you in the first place,” Magnus explains. “Mentioning Avyanna would have probably been a step too far. You’ll like them.”
“They’re both pains in the arse,” Monty mutters with a pout.
Magnus grins, “You’re just mad because they’ve one-upped you in that prank war you all have going on at the moment.”
I smile. A prank war? Yeah, they definitely sound like my sort of people, and I hope that I get to meet her and Nyx one day.
The Fates.
My aunts.
What is my life?
“We need to go, and you’re ready to wake up,” Monty says.
“Before we do, I just want to make sure that you understood something. What our beautiful mate was trying to tell you in her twisty fate kind of way is that you can move through the Void, you don’t have to walk,” Magnus says, staring at me meaningfully.
“Oh shit,” I exclaim, as I get it.

I sit straight up, wide awake and making Loki and Rival yell as they fall off the bed.
The sound is so funny that I immediately burst out laughing, as everyone else comes rushing into the room because of the bang.
Their eyes fall on me, all of their worried expressions turning into smiles as they see me awake.
I scan them until I find Nico.
“Oh good, they didn’t kill you,” I say bluntly.
I know Fluffy already told me that he was safe, but then he was with me, so there’s always a chance that the others took advantage of the opportunity.
Nico chuckles, “It was touch and go for a moment, Pretty Girl. Your beast held them off, and then my winning personality did the rest.”
Loki snorts on the floor and brings everyone's attention to him.
“Why are you two on the floor?” Rast asks curiously.
They both point at me.
I wince, “Sorry.”
“No, you’re not,” Loki grins as he hops up off the floor and leans over the bed to kiss me. “Are you okay?”
