Chapter One Hundred and Seventy Five

Celeste's POV

I excuse myself from the kitchen and my guest to go upstairs to the very top floor where Theseus's pool sits waiting for me.

Swirling my hand in the liquid I summon my husbands. Watching his movements as he stands before Theseus's looming mansion.

Lilith is inside, that much is clear between the conversation Theseus and Khai are having.

Well, actually, they are more like arguing because Khai wants in and Theseus has taken them as far as he possibly can.

You see the thing is Zeus has a spell binding his land to himself and without his explicit permission no one is able to pass the boundary.

He must have wanted Lilith to visit, hence she's inside. But why?

What does Zeus want with Lilith?

I stand at the pool watching for an age, noting how anxious Theseus is.

His behaviour of late had been strange, and at first I thought perhaps the little mishap with Zeus had caused him to become distant.

But that isn't it.

There's something more going on, his mind overwhelmed, I think.
