I’m Karma Maria Kismet, and I’m finally going to find out the truth.
EpilogueStorm
“Where is that goblin?” I roar after searching Karma and Madison’s apartment and finding nothing. The twins follow me as do Karma’s family who are all in shock. If I can find Kit, he can get me to Karma before she does something insane. Neritous cannot be trusted, and I know Karma would have only followed him to save Madison. I’m not sure if anyone can save Madison now. A human can’t be turned into a goddess without a hefty price that the world will have to pay.
Karma’s father will use Madison to control her and make her take more of the power. If she takes too much, it will destroy her soul just like it has done his. I rush down the corridor, pushing her parents’ door open and looking inside.
“Kit, wait!” I shout as Kit jumps into a black portal. I run as fast as I can across the room, and just as I reach my hand out, the portal disappears, and I crash into the floor. “NO!” Thunder and lightning flash against the skies as I stand up, facing Karma’s family and the twins. I tighten my hands into fists, anger rattling through my body.
I didn’t get a chance to tell her how much I love her. No matter if she wants to keep the annoying twins around.
I didn’t get a chance to tell her I fucking love her more than anything.
“We will find her. No matter what,” Seth says, trying to calm me.
“Yes, we will. When I get Karma back, I’m going to kill anyone that tries to take her from us again. Karma Kismet is ours.”

Chapter 51
The loud smack of the portal closing behind me almost makes me jump, the coldness of the room quickly seeping into every inch of my body. I cross my arms as I face my father, a man I thought I had managed to kill, but I was so feckin’ wrong. The bastard is alive, and my best friend is unconscious in his arms as his prisoner. The breeze from an open warehouse door near us blows through the room, shaking the doors on the other side of the room. I glance up, seeing an old warehouse structure with several bridges crossing above our heads. Looking back at the open door, I see nothing but grey waves and dark starless sky. It’s unnaturally bright, and I can hear the common sounds of a city in the distance. Where are we? Every breath of mine comes out as smoke, and I can’t help but shake as I turn my eyes to my father.
“It is colder here, wear this,” Neritous states, throwing an old blue jacket at me before covering Mads with one he picks up from a desk nearby. I want to tell him to feck off, but he has a point. Dying of cold isn’t a good idea. I put the overly large jacket on, doing up the buttons as Neritous watches me the entire time.
“Did you kill my mother, or was it Xur?” I demand an answer. I couldn’t tell if Xur was telling me the truth, and the memories my mum showed me suggest that Neritous did it. I need to know how much of an enemy the man standing in front of me actually is.
Neritous lifts his chin, meeting my eyes with his cold and unfeeling ones. “I did not kill your mother. I would not waste life, but you know that. You wouldn’t have followed me if you didn’t, Karma Kismet.”
“So you wanted me alive? You knew Maria was pregnant?” I question. He eyes me with calculated interest, and I wonder if he has figured out I’m pretty mad. Okay, very mad.
“You were the only reason I was ever with Maria. A god of fortune told me to find several women and have children with them,” he answers, and my lips tighten into a thin line. So disgusting. I bite down on my tongue, trying not to say what I’m really feeling right about now. If he wasn’t holding Mads like a doll in his arms, it would be a different discussion. “Now follow.”
He turns around, his cloak whipping around him before he walks to the middle door of five on the other side of the room. I glance behind me at the open door one more time...and I wish I could send a message to my guys. I wish I weren’t alone. I’ve become used to fighting with one of them with me or nearby, and I know I don’t want to go back to being alone anymore. Neritous waves his fingers, and the door slams open, a red haze of magic flickering in the air. When he steps into it, it covers him like a splash of water before he disappears.
I glance back at the open door one more time.
Final decision, Karma.
Gulping down the indecision and worry about what the hell I am doing, I step through the door, and the red magic feels like it burns me. I scream, falling onto the floor on the other side, rubbing my arms as the pain suddenly disappears.
“Do get up off the floor, Karma,” my father demands, sounding not too impressed. I grit my teeth and stand up, brushing off the dust from my clothes.
“You don’t get to make demands like a father would do. I have a dad, one who is kind and never once demanded anything from me. You are fecking nothing to me,” I spit out.
“But she is?” he responds with a cruel shine to his eyes. He drops her on the floor, and I jump to catch her but miss. Her head makes an awful noise as it smacks on the floor, along with the rest of her body.
“Mads!” I shout, falling to her side and picking her up onto my lap. Neritous moves extremely close to me and roughly grabs my chin, making me look up at him.
“She is a higher god now, an immortal and powerful. But make no mistake, if you cross me and don’t behave, daughter, I will kill her in an instant to teach you a lesson,” he warns me, and I don’t doubt him even a little bit. I pull my chin from his hand, looking back down at Mads, who frowns in her sleep and is bleeding from the back of her head a little bit. I reach for my necklace on instinct, but I remember it’s not there as I touch my bare skin.
“Dominic, take the blonde girl to a bed. If she wakes, call for us,” Neritous says, and a guy about thirteen with white hair, blue eyes and tanned skin runs over to us. He meets my eyes, staring a little too long at me before leaning down and picking Mads up. Knowing I don’t have a choice but to trust the kid, I let her go and watch them walk away to another door. I finally take in the large room we are in, which is the inside of an old-ass warehouse. Grey wall is made of metal or glass, showing beautiful views of a city in the distance. Unfortunately, I don’t know which city that is, and I don’t see any signs to let me know.
“Your powers will not work here unless I allow it, and you can’t escape. The warehouse has a protective ward,” he warns me. Figures.
“They will find me, you know that? Storm is going to come for you,” I tell him, and he turns back to me. Red lightning crackles down his arm as he reaches for me, but I’m not letting him hurt me. I try to use my powers to defend myself, but it doesn’t work, so I do the next best thing. I run. I don’t get far before lightning hits my back, and I scream as I fly into the air, smacking onto a wall. I slide down the wall, sitting up as I cough through the pain. Tears burn my eyes as Neritous leans down in front of me, looking happier than the fecker should be.
“You mention that betrayer again, I will make it very painful for you while you stay here, daughter,” he warns me before straightening up and standing back. “Now follow me to meet everyone, and I might have a present for you if you behave.”
Fecking bastard.
