Adrenaline surges through me, and I pry the cold fingers from my wrist. Morpheus flies to my side. We exchange a glance, then examine the cocooned webbing along the wall. Together, we break through and release the form from its shell.
A woman slumps into Morpheus's arms. She smells fruity and delicate-like pears. Her skin sparkles with the sheen of moonlight over a frosted lake, and giant feathery white wings drape behind her shoulders.
She's an ice swan and a queen entwined. I'd know her anywhere.
"Ivory," I whisper. I can't imagine why she's here, trapped like this.
Morpheus pales. He lifts her and carries her to the mattress, kicking aside the lamp on the way. He lays her down gently. Off-white lace peeks out from the web clinging to her dress. Waist-length silvery hair wraps around her long, elegant neck.
Seated on the edge of the bed, Morpheus peels a sticky gossamer coating from her nose and mouth. She gasps for breath. Her white lashes and eyebrows twitch, glistening like crystals.
I drop to my knees in front of Morpheus's feet, holding her hand as she coughs herself awake.
"Don't try to talk, Your Majesty," Morpheus insists, though I sense tension along with the concern in his voice. "Alyssa, could you get her something to drink? Surely you have water or some such in your car."
"No." She furrows her brow at Morpheus, then focuses on me. The black markings on her temples glitter in the sunlight, veined like a dragonfly's wings. "Queen Alyssa, forgive me." Her faded blue irises are almost colorless.
I squeeze her fingers to comfort her. "For what?"
"For endangering your mortal knight. I never anticipated things getting so out of hand. We will find him…we'll get him back."
She's obviously confused. There's no telling how long she's been encased in that web. I cast a glance through the rails. Jeb's lying on the floor. Chessie buzzes around him, keeping watch. "He's not lost. He's downstairs, sleeping."
"Sister Two didn't take him?" she asks.
"Sister Two?" Morpheus appears as shocked as I feel. Then he groans. "The door knocker. The mystery woman in Alyssa's mosaics. The one hiding in the shadows…"
"Of course," I whisper, seeing the vision again in my mind. The eight living vines connected to her lower torso. They weren't tentacles. They were spider legs. The door knocker wasn't about the scars on my palms. It was a tribute to her mutated hand.
"But why would Sister Two be involved?" I reason aloud. "Why would she be at the same cottage where Red was holed up? She despises Red for escaping her keep in the cemetery last year."
"Red was never here," Ivory answers.
Morpheus clears his throat, and their gazes meet in some silent understanding.
"So Sister Two was holding Jeb prisoner?" I ask. "She gave him the Tumtum juice, forced him to paint all night? Why would she do that?"
Ivory tries to answer but coughs again.
Morpheus nudges my shoulder. "The water, Alyssa."
Ivory swallows hard and tightens her fingers through mine as I start to get up. "That won't be necessary. Her questions deserve answers."
Morpheus frowns. "I don't think this is the time."
"When else, Morpheus?" Ivory scolds. "She is in deeper than any of us now. Sister Two left that door knocker as a warning to both of you. She knows of her twin's betrayal from all those years ago." Ivory's eyes settle on me. "And Alison's betrayal."
I struggle to make sense of her cryptic words. "You mean how my mom tried to become queen? Why would Sister Two care about that?"
"Blast it!" Morpheus scoots off the bed and crouches next to me on the floor. He props his elbows on the mattress and cradles his temples in his hands, massaging with his fingertips. "So the twins are squabbling…that leaves the cemetery only partly guarded. If Red breaks into it, she'll have her spirit army. Then she'll come here. This wasn't supposed to happen."
Ivory's lips and cheeks deepen from white to pale pink. "You should've stayed in Wonderland…faced Red, like she wanted."
"You know why I couldn't." A tremor shakes his chin almost imperceptibly. "So who told Sister Two the secret? There were only three of us who knew."
Ivory frowns. "No, there were four. Red knew. Sister One has a foolish habit of confessing secrets to her dead spirits when she tends them, and that was well out of the boundaries of our vows not to tell a living soul."
"Perfect," Morpheus snarls.
"Red tried to invade the cemetery this morning," Ivory continues. "The sisters captured her and were preparing to exorcise her spirit from the flower fae so they could seal her in a toy for eternity. But Red told Sister Two the secret about Alison to distract her. Sister Two turned on her twin in a rage, and Red escaped. Sister Two came here to find a replacement for what Alyssa's family has stolen from her, one way or another. Those were her final words as she wound me in the web."
I shake my head. "I don't understand. Is she still mad about Chessie's smile or how I accidentally helped Red escape last year? But what's that have to do with my mom?"
"What Sister Two seeks compensation for wasn't an accident," Ivory answers. "And the payment will be steep. She intends to take your mortal knight for reparation."
I still don't understand what exactly is going on, but the fear clutching at my heart overpowers any curiosity. "Jeb was outside when I got here," I say, trying to talk over my terror. "That must've saved him. She thought he was gone."
"Yes," Morpheus says. "The boy escaped by chasing a white rabbit. There's poetic irony in that, aye?"
We turn our combined glares on him.
"Simply trying to lighten the mood." His expression sours.
"There is nothing lighthearted about Sister Two's threats," Ivory scolds. "Alyssa's mortal knight is in true danger now."
"Now?" I huff. "We've been in danger from Red for a week. She's been stalking us. At school, at the hospital. And she's been masquerading as an art collector-that's how she got Jeb out here."
Neither one responds.
I look back and forth between them. There's something they're not telling me, and I'm tired of ambiguous revelations. "This is my world you've invaded, my life being screwed up, and my loved ones in the middle of it all. I have a right to know what's going on."
"She does," Ivory insists.
"She knows all she needs to know," Morpheus says.
"Curse you, Morpheus." Ivory says exactly what I'm thinking. "These human lives we trifle with. There is a heavy price to be paid." She rolls to her side in a rustle of lace and satin so we can't see her expression. "Will I never learn? Time and again…you offer me glimpses of love and companionship, and I am too weak to turn you away."
Morpheus reaches around me and tips her chin in his direction. "That's not entirely true. You were the one offering glimpses of love this time." He dries her ice-encrusted tears with a knuckle.
Another private moment passes between them, a look I can't quite decipher, as if he's relaying a message to her mind. I'm so used to being the recipient of his silent messages, it's unsettling to sit on the outside.
"What's going on between you two?" Suspicion wavers in my vocal cords.
"You're supposed to be working on that lack of trust," he reminds me.
I stare at him until my eyes itch from not blinking.
Ivory pats my hand. "You misunderstand. I gave Morpheus a glimpse into his future. Something I saw in a vision."
"That's enough, Ivory," he says, a threatening edge to his voice that makes the hair on my neck bristle.
She blinks twice. "In gratitude for my help, Morpheus offered me the gift of companionship, but not his own. A young man from your world, who needs my love as much as I need his."
"Finley." I'd almost forgotten the pawn Morpheus stole from the real world. "Is he okay?"
She nods. "He's safe in my palace, as a ward of my knights. Though he came with a stipulation. I owed Morpheus a favor, so that's why I am here. Nothing is ever free with him. Nothing."
"Exactly why we have this trust issue," I answer her but shoot a glare at Morpheus.
He traces a split in the mattress, ignoring me.
Ivory gives him her hand, and he helps her sit up. She takes my elbows, coaxing me to join her on the edge of the bed.
As Ivory strokes the ends of my hair, her voice becomes gentle. "There is one thing you can trust about Morpheus. He is loyal to you. It is his desire to be with you that drives him to these desperate schemes."
Morpheus stands in a rush of wings and rustling clothes. His shoulders droop as he turns his back to us. "There is nothing desperate about enlisting Alyssa's help. It is her place. She is the bearer of the ruby crown. Wonderland is as much her home as ours, no matter how she denies it. I had to make her see."
I push off the mattress. "By lying?"
Morpheus responds with silence, not even glancing over his shoulder to acknowledge me.
Blood rushes to my cheeks. I'm more furious with myself for believing in him than anything else. I move to the loft's railing and look pointedly at Ivory, an ugly theory taking form. "The real Ivy Raven. She's never even seen Jeb's artwork, has she?"
Ivory shakes her head.
"You didn't need her imprint for a glamour. You just needed a legitimate name in case we checked up on her. It was you who showed up to meet Jeb at the art gallery." I grit my teeth. Neither of them deny it. "He was so blown away by your amazing 'costume.' And you weren't even wearing one. You kept him here last night. Why?"
Ivory looks at the lace and webs sweeping the floor at her feet, long lashes veiling her eyes in a white curtain. "Only those with royal blood can see through Chessie's filter and decipher visions. Morpheus needed me to read your mosaics. And since your mother hid the others, he had to arrange for replicas. We were running out of time."
My stomach drops. "Why the big hurry? You've already said Red isn't here."
Morpheus's muscles tense at the statement, but he stays maddeningly silent.
Ivory answers, "Morpheus needed to know if Wonderland could be saved if he ignored Red's threats. She had given him an ultimatum: Surrender to her and meet his death, or watch his beloved nether-realm fall to rot at his feet."
I think of Queen Grenadine's ribbon that spoke to me in my bedroom: Queen Red lives and seeks to destroy that which betrayed her. "It was Morpheus she was after, not me. He's the one she thinks betrayed her."
Stoic, Morpheus kicks the carafe that once held the Tumtum juice. It rolls along the floor and stops beside my stolen mosaics. "I escaped her Deathspeak without her getting the throne. In her mind, I recanted our deal and owe her my life."
Glancing at Jeb's prone, dreaming form downstairs, I curl my hands into fists. "You vowed to tell me the truth about my mosaics. You lied."
Morpheus grunts. "You never specified what truth. So I told you the truth about their origins…their power. And I never once said Red had them. You were the one who supplied her name."
My legs feel shaky. I slide to the floor, my spine raking along the railing. "So Red called you out-a bully on a playground-and you ran. You brought your fight to my world."
"Your world," Morpheus huffs. He faces me, his exquisite features hardened to a defiant scowl. "I showed you the truth in your dreams, the havoc she was wreaking. But because it didn't cast a ripple in this stagnant little human pond you call home, you ignored me. You put it out of your mind. Talked yourself out of believing it. I knew you would care nothing about my well-being. But I hoped…I hoped you would fight for Wonderland."
I want to say that I would've fought for him because I owe him. Because I remember what he did for me. Because a part of me cares about my childhood friend, even about the selfish, charismatic, and frustrating man he's become. But I wouldn't have been in Wonderland for him to rescue in the first place if he hadn't lured me down on false pretenses last year. And I wonder, would I really have faced the one creature that terrifies me most, to save someone who was once so careless with my own life?
"Don't you dare turn this on me," I say, maybe as much to myself as Morpheus. "This is about you, what you did."
"I did the only thing I could to bid a reaction from you. The stolen mosaics, the vials of blood, the spellbound nurse, and the haunted clown-"
"Aha!" I point at him. "You can't deny that lie. You said you never sent a toy."
"Herman Hattington isn't a toy. He's a thespian of the highest order, due to his ever-changing face. And I didn't send him. He went to you of his own volition, as a favor to me."
I bury my head in my hands. That explains the clown's weird, heavy hat; it was the metal conformateur that's a part of the hatmaker's skull. "I suppose Rabid was helping you, too." That possibility hurts worse than any other.
"No," Morpheus answers. "His loyalty to you is sincere. His part in this was purely accidental."
"What about the nightmare?" I ask, looking up.
Morpheus shakes his head. "Your own subconscious manifested that tidbit, with a little help from the hallucinogens we put in your sedatives."
"Why?" I growl.
"I had to make you believe Red was putting your boyfriend in jeopardy so you'd return with me to save Wonderland. The only way I can ever get your attention is by placing your mortal toy in danger. It was working brilliantly, until once again the human muddled things up."
"You jerk!" My muscles coil and I scramble up to lunge at him. I expect him to fold a wing between us to block me. Instead, he steps forward, wings high and open. He holds out his arms-daring me to tackle him-egging me on. Ivory catches me around the waist and hauls me down beside her once more.
I struggle to get out of her embrace. She holds me with a force that's surprising for someone as delicate as an ice sculpture.
"You came swooping in here today, pretending to be the hero," I seethe to Morpheus. "When all along it was your fault Jeb was in that state to begin with. And now he's in real danger."
"It was only to be a few paintings on glass," Morpheus answers, his voice far too calm. "The juice was supposed to make him more focused until he finished. I never anticipated he'd become crazed, or that you would find your way here and he would put his hands on you…" There's a slight shift in his features-something menacing. "I never imagined, if Ivory left him for a few hours, that he would go off on a tangent and paint your memories-the very ones he lost. He's trapped in a hell crafted by his very own hands." Morpheus's gaze narrows. "But no. It's more at your hands, is it not? You've had a year to tell him everything. Had he known, he wouldn't have been such an easy target for me, and perhaps he wouldn't be in danger from Sister Two now."
I break free of Ivory's hold but can't move off the bed. Morpheus is right. Jeb's vulnerability is my fault.
"How do you do that?" I ask. "How do you always turn everything around on everyone else? Manipulate even those who know better than to believe you?"
Morpheus shrugs. "That's my power. My magic. Persuasion."
"No. Your power is poison." My pride raises its head again. "Just so you know, there's something you'll never persuade me to do."
He studies me, smug. "What's that?"
"Love you."
Morpheus's jewels turn pale blue, the color of anguish, and I revel in the knowledge that I cut him.
"Never say never," he murmurs.
I match his stare, eyes stinging as if venom seeps through my irises.
He looks away first, steps over to the ladder, and dives, graceful black wings spread wide. He lands lightly in the middle of the floor. He waves to his moths, reuniting his hat, then kneels to hoist Jeb onto his shoulder around his left wing.
I leap to my feet and scramble back to the railing. "Put him down!" I screech.
"He's not safe here," Morpheus answers, gathering Jeb's shirt and boots with his free hand. "We must find a mirror and get him to the train. You wish to try to haul him out to the car yourself?"
I swallow a rebuttal. As arrogant as he is, he's right: I need his help to find the train.
"The keys," he presses.
Frowning, I chuck them toward him. Chessie zooms up and catches them in midair.
Ivory stands-all lace and elegance. She moves behind me, her wings low like a feather cape.
Morpheus looks over my shoulder at her. "Go back through the rabbit hole and protect your castle. Warn Sister One that her twin has crossed over to the human realm. She'll need to keep a close watch on the dark side of the cemetery. Alyssa and I will follow soon. We've little time to waste."
"Right," I say. "Now that you've managed to lure one of the creepiest and most venomous netherlings into a world of helpless humans, we don't have much time, do we?"
Morpheus resituates Jeb on his shoulder. "We're not at a complete disadvantage, Alyssa. Sister Two has a weakness, as we all do. She has a blind spot. Once she's cornered her prey, she notices nothing else around her. So, since there are two of us, we can work as a team to defeat her and send her back to Wonderland."
"Right," I answer. "And then you'll be the big hero again. For cleaning up a mess that you caused to begin with."
Morpheus doesn't answer. He strides out the door. Chessie looks up at us once, then follows.
"Perhaps you were a little harsh with him," Ivory says.
Hands clenched at my sides, I face her. "Jeb is the target of a black-widow woman big enough to eat a horse, and now he's catatonic and can't even defend himself. Not to mention all the humans who almost went up in flames today, all because of Morpheus's stupid plan."
"He never expected Sister Two to become involved. And he had nothing to do with the events at your school. The bugs caught wind of Queen Red's alliance with the flower fae. They feared she would lead her army into your world after she destroyed all of Wonderland, where they would feed on insects and humans alike. They released the wraiths in an effort to protect their home from Wonderland invaders."
"Technicalities," I answer. Her calm rationalizations are only making me angrier. "Doesn't it ever bother you? How he always gets by on those? He couldn't use his magic because of the glamour, so he had you and Hattington and the nurse do all his dirty work. Which meant that each time he told me he wasn't doing those things, he was able to lie to my face-guilt free, in true Wonderland form."
"He wasn't guilt free. He has been in torment. It was not his original plan to use your mortal knight."
"Right. I'm sure it was to sacrifice his own life for all of Wonderland, because he's an old-school martyr like that."
She frowns, her pale pink lips shimmering like flower petals in the sunlight. "That was his plan."
I want to laugh, but the sincerity within her frosted eyes stops me. One thing I've learned about Ivory, she's always honest when confronted. "All right. Convince me."
"A week before Morpheus started visiting your dreams again, he came to my castle and told me of Red's ultimatum. He asked me to use my crown-magic to look into your future, to assure that if he did as she asked and gave himself up to Red, she would be satiated and you and Wonderland would be safe forever. What I saw…it changed everything for him."
She holds out her palm, and a bubble appears. It's the size of a softball, only luminous and clear. "Vow to me you'll never tell anyone what I'm about to show you."
I stand mute, staring at the bubble as a blurry image begins to form inside.
"Vow it," Ivory presses.
I make the pledge. Two life-magic vows in one day. I'm becoming a pro at netherling negotiations without even trying.
Still holding the bubble, she bends down beside my mosaics and scrapes off a small residue of gray powder left from Chessie's sparkle cloud of earlier. She swipes it over the crystallized bubble, which animates a scene that's startlingly familiar. Not only can I see it, but I can hear, smell, feel, and taste it.
I'm crowned and seated on a throne at the head of a table, hosting a feast with mallet in hand, prepared to strike the main course dead. The scent of clover wine, moonbeam cookies, and baked fruit wafts from sparkling platters and crystal glasses.
Gathered around are a mishmash of creatures, some clothed, others naked, all more bestial than humanoid. They are my subjects, and my heart brims with affection for them-for their weirdness, for their madness, for their loyalty.
We talk and tease and bargain with the main dish. Maniacal laughter echoes in the marble halls, sweet to my ears.
There's movement at the banquet hall's entrance. A child with my eyes tumbles in-all wings and blue hair and giggling innocence. Holding his hand is Morpheus, wearing a ruby crown.
The Red King. My king.
The bubble bursts and takes the vision with it, leaving nothing but the sound of my gasp and wisps of gray smoke behind.
"You see," Ivory says, "once Morpheus knew that one day you would belong to him and he to you, that you would share a child, he was no longer willing to die to save Wonderland. But he's insecure about your feelings for him. He feared you would refuse to help. So he made a new plan, however flawed it was."
I'm reminded of that first day in the bathroom at school, the words Morpheus said: "One does what one has to do, to protect what they love." I knew there was an underlying meaning; I just had no idea how soul-deep it went.
I'm having trouble breathing. "A son," I say, recalling every detail of the child's perfect face.
Ivory's smile is blinding. "A most unique creature. The first child to be born to two netherlings who've shared a childhood. Wonderland is founded on chaos, madness, and magic. For so long, innocence and imagination have had no place there. As a result, we haven't had children, at least by your world's definition. And because of this, we've lost the ability to dream. But Morpheus experienced those things via you, each time you played together in your dreams. Through your child, Wonderland will thrive with new magic and strength. Our offspring will become true children once more; they will learn to dream again. And all will be right with our world."
"No," I murmur. I put my theoretical son out of my mind. I'm not ready to make that sacrifice. All I can think of is Jeb, my family and friends, and my future in the human realm. "That can't be right. I chose to stay here." I look down at the spot where Jeb was earlier and feel so empty.
Ivory catches my hands and clasps them. "You can still have a future with your mortal knight. You can marry him. Have a family and children, here."
My head spins. None of this makes any sense. "How?"
"Just as you have two sides to yourself, you have two potential futures. One day, the mortals you love will grow old and die. You, also, will age outwardly, and will have to go through the illusion of death. But your crown grants you an eternity in Wonderland. You'll be restored to the age you were when it was first placed upon your head. Your second future, your immortal netherling reign over the Red kingdom, will begin. And as you saw, Morpheus will play a very pivotal role."
I feel like someone sucker-punched me. "I can't be with someone I don't trust. Who doesn't trust me, either."
She places a hand on my shoulder. "You will learn to understand one another, to read one another. Morpheus is rarely honest with his words. His actions are where the truth lies. There may be many, many years between now and the vision you viewed. Something will change the way you see him. Perhaps a bevy of small things along the way, or possibly another grand gesture you never thought him capable of. Whatever it is, it will alter your relationship forever." Ivory steps back. "Alyssa, you've been given a chance at two lives and two loves. That is nothing short of a miracle. Cherish the gift for what it is. I shall see you soon, in Wonderland."
Her wings arc above her head, high and beautiful. She folds them over herself, and then, in a poof of white light and sparkling powder, becomes a swan and soars gracefully out the door.
I clench my jaw, emotions reeling. My heart breaks to think of outliving Jeb and all the people I love: Mom, Dad, Jenara, and Jeb's and my children. It's a mind trip I couldn't grasp even on the best day. And today's been the worst one ever.
Then, beyond the sadness that overshadows my future, there's the terrible confusion of my present.
How can I truly be with Jeb, knowing that one day I'll marry Morpheus? How can I give Morpheus the day I vowed to him and be true to Jeb, knowing what Morpheus knows?
I sit hard on the mattress. Morpheus bargained for those twenty-four hours because he doesn't want me to have my mortal life. He doesn't want to wait, or to share me with any other guy. He plans to start our future immediately.
I clasp the heart locket at my neck, struggling to separate its chain from the ruby-tipped key. I won't let him take my time with Jeb away. I refuse.
There's a rustle in the doorway. I stand and glance down to see Morpheus at the threshold.
"We should go," he says.
"No," I snap, too overwhelmed to say anything else. I want to hate him for all his lies, but Ivory's vision keeps imprinting our child on my mind's eye. Morpheus had motivations. They were pure-regardless of the lies and deceit it took to justify them. There is nothing black-and-white about him. He's a chaotic portrait made of every shade of gray.
With a flourish of dark wings he appears beside me in the loft. "What do you mean, no? We haven't time for nonsense, Alyssa."
"Release me of my vow," I say, forcing myself to meet his gaze. "We both know I'll never have feelings for you. So why even play this game? There's nothing between us." If I can say it to his face, maybe it will be true.
He leans in so his wings cast us both in shade, and his jewels flash a blinding red. "I'll prove you wrong. The moment this war is over, when I have you to myself for twenty-four hours. You'll never again question what we have between us."
"No. Deal's off."
"Fine. Break your vow. Lose your powers. Then you'll have no one to blame but yourself when Sister Two takes Jebediah into her web."
My nightmare flashes through my head: Jeb wrapped up, a corpse.
I growl and barrel into Morpheus. He catches me and backs me to the wall where the webs are thickest. He winds me like a top until my arms are pinned to my body by a sticky blanket. I struggle, but Sister Two's web is as strong as twine.
Morpheus bends his knees so we're at eye level. "Why do you insist on binding your heart within these chains? For once, just be still and listen. Listen to the nether-call."
Before I can even ask what he means, he skims his licorice-scented lips across my forehead-just shy of touching-his warm breath dragging across my left eye patch, then down a cheek, toward my mouth. The corner of my mouth tickles as he passes over it; then his breath stops to hover across my chin.
His palms rest against the wall on either side of my head. He lets the web serve as his hands, his breath serve as his lips, holding me immobile and kissing me without ever touching me. My eyes flutter closed as his lips skim a hairbreadth away from my lids. His familiar lullaby ignites in my mind, but there's a new verse:
"Little blossom trapped in between, wearing malice like a queen; hide the truth, be cruel and tart, still all the more, you rule my heart."
I try to shut him out, but the song drags me back to Wonderland, to landscapes now ragged and wounded.
Tears burn behind my eyelids as I witness the destruction.
The restlessness wakes within, that thumping in my head. The more I try to resist, the more my blood burns-anger for Wonderland's ailing skies and terrain, compassion for its ragged soul.
Morpheus finally touches me, bringing my thoughts back to the loft. Hands cupping my face, he coaxes my eyes open with his thumbs at their edges. He pulls back, and his gaze meets mine, sending a message deep into my heart.
Release your chains, Alyssa. Set your magic free.
In reaction both to his silent plea and to my fury over Red's rampage, my wing buds itch and pinch until the pressure is unbearable.
I cry out in startled surprise as they burst from my skin, ripping my shirt and slicing through the cobwebs. The webs cling to the wall and my chest-a draping of thick gossamer that serves as a shirt in place of the one I lost.
I'm free, and I step away from the wall, my wings both heavy and light.
Morpheus watches me. His jewels are the deepest purple I've ever seen-triumphant and proud. His mouth curves to a slow-burning smile.
"Beautifully done, My Queen," he says, stepping back and adjusting his hat. "You are at your most powerful when you stop resisting what's in your blood." He walks toward my mosaics, then stalls next to them, glancing at me. "One thing more: Wonderland and I are the same. You love one of us, you love the other. You are Wonderland, too. Which means we are the perfect fit, in more ways than you can even imagine. On our day together, I'll take great pleasure in showing you all of them."
My heart is pounding so hard I can't speak around it.
Morpheus picks up my mosaics then steps to the edge of the loft. He tosses Gizmo's keys at my feet. "Don't take too long. Your mortal boy's memory needs a jump start. And Wonderland is waiting."
He falls backward off the ledge and leaves me standing there, my body humming with power: a full-fledged netherling queen-freed of my webby cage, yet spellbound by a devil's almost-kiss.
