AIDEN POV
*I Wanna Be The One You Call - Benson Boone*
I hated this.
I f*****g hated this.
Not the way Keres hated things, loud and violent and ready to burn the world because it had looked at him wrong. Not the way Thane hated things either, silent and bone-deep, sitting behind his eyes while it waited for permission to become a m******e.
Mine was worse because mine came with knowledge.
I knew what that demonic thing was.
Cariddi.
That big, wet, impossible mouth behind the morgue wall could only be her, and if Cariddi had been fed under this facility, then Scilla wasn’t far away.
Fuck.
Burning the facility down was not rage anymore. It was not vengeance. It was not even justice, although Goddess knew we were owed enough of that to drown the world in it.
It was containment.
