did, because he didn’t like how the Shadow King was holding his mate. He took Storm from the man and went to stand. His knees locked and he dropped to the floor. Killian glared at the Fyodor.
    “Sorry, but you can’t leave yet. I need to put a protection on her until I can be here in person to cleanse any residue of the shadow hitcher from her.” Fyodor went to touch Storm but stopped. “May I?”
    Killian stared at Fyodor and nodded. Fyodor laid his hand against the side of her face as he continued to speak. “Lupo sensed it but before he could get what it was, Lennox sent him away from Eve.” Fyodor glanced at her. “Nice to see you again, Eve. Your temper almost cost you both your lives.”
    “Lupo left A’rm Ageddon aware. He had no ri—”
    “He had every right. As a Shadower, by our code he should have killed her for what she did. But because of you he did not. His leaving her aware was all he took for his retribution for her killing his wife.”
    “My mother. If it was me, I would have killed her, showing no mercy for what she did.” Lennox strode in, coming to Killian. “I’m sorry, Killian, I didn’t sense anything amiss. I’ve been busy and haven’t been around Storm since your battle with Blagden.”
    “None of us knew.” Killian held Storm’s lifeless body, wondering if she would be okay.
    “Lennox would have known if he had got near her.” Fyodor ran his fingers along her temple. “Hmmm… This is where he hitched. She is a seer and when she linked with him, he saw his chance to enact his plan. Until then, he didn’t know how to get A’rm Ageddon near Eve.” Fyodor glanced up at those in the room. “He expected it would be Harmony he would hitch on. He knows about Harmony and has been watching her and Lennox for a while. Storm was a surprise and convenient to his plan. He needed a hitch to get himself and A’rm Ageddon near Eve.” Fyodor studied Eve intently. “You are one of the keys to what their ultimate plan is. My father has been silent all these weeks because he has been channeling his energy into the shadow hitcher that was in Storm. It is why she was having headaches. She sensed something amiss but not what.” Fyodor stroked his hand on Storm’s face.
    Killian growled. Fyodor smiled at him then chuckled. “I’d be possessive if I had a woman like her too.” He pressed his finger on her temple and Killian felt the power along his skin. “She’ll be fine until I get here. When I do, I’ll get rid of the rest of the hitcher.”
    “Let Lennox do it.” Killian trusted him to not be lusting after Storm.
    “He can’t. I took the hitcher as part of me so I have to erase the rest of it,” Fyodor said.
    Killian looked at Lennox and he nodded. Killian frowned, turning his attention back to Fyodor, who was still working on Storm.
    “What would the shadow hitcher have done to Eve? Why is she the key?” Christos demanded.
    “It would have weakened her enough to wake A’rm Ageddon. She is the reason A’rm Ageddon cannot wake fully.” Fyodor patted Storm’s cheek. “Eve is one of the keys. Niya is the other.”
    “What? What does she have to do with it?”
    Killian glanced at Christos. Fury was on his face and his body was rigid.
    “Eve is tied to humanity but Niya is tied to earth. You need both to demolish this realm.” Fyodor shrugged. “I’m going to leave it up to you to keep Niya safe. Lupo has Eve.”
    “I do—”
    “Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re going to say. You don’t need anyone to protect you. But, Eve, you always had a soft spot for your sister. She’s tried to kill you too many times to even count. Yet she still lives.” Fyodor waved his hand at the glass cell. “Your blind loyalty to her is a weakness she will exploit if she wakes. She will gut you and not even mourn you. But if you were to kill her, it would destroy you.” Fyodor lifted his head and Killian’s breath caught at the rage burning in his eyes. “I already know my father
