RUNE WINTERS. Every time Gideon looked at the young heiress, she reminded him of the sea: steal-your-breath beautiful on the surface, with the promise of untold depths beneath.
“Your laugh is like a fuse,” he said. “It lights you up.”
It’s a curse, Gideon, she said, pressing harder as he tried not to scream. One I will activate if you betray me again.
What was the curse? If she is still alive, then he betrayed her so what was the curse she activated?
“You are not the things that happened to you, Gideon.”
hunting down Cressida only to be stopped by Alex, who had found and dealt with her so Gideon didn’t have to—he
Did he, really? I don’t think he did kill Cress. I think he was already a sympathizer and didn’t know the extent of what she did.
OR
Had she gotten to him already and cast some sort of bewitching spell on him so he was devoted to her.
His body buzzed at the lack of her. As if Rune in his arms was the only true thing in the world, and until she was there again, everything was wrong.
“I remember the sound of your laugh,” he said as the back door of the house came into view. “It pulled me like a magnet toward the beach, where I found the most beautiful girl in the world standing on the shore.”
But it wasn’t only her physical attributes that had him spinning. It was her kindness. Her thoughtfulness. Her wildness. It was her willingness to argue with him. If he wasn’t careful, he might fall in love with her.
Rune glanced down to see her friend’s fingernails about to break her skin. “Verity, you’re hurting me.”
Verity the one mutilating Blood Guards? Is she the one planning the witch rebellion?
“Merciful Ancients,” said a feminine voice. “I’ve searched the whole palace looking for you! Are you all right?”
Where was Verity this whole time?? 🤔 Collecting Seraphine after casting the spell fire?
“It belongs to a witch who should be dead.” His eyes met Laila’s. “Cressida Roseblood.”
If Alex was leaving, Gideon owed it to him to face his demons and go to this party. To patch things up between them as much as he could. Especially if they might never see each other again.
TRAP
“You have never been more beautiful than this moment.”
I’m in love with him. Instead of getting Gideon Sharpe out of her system tonight, Rune had gone and gotten herself addicted. The hunted had fallen for the hunter.
Verity de Wilde, she meant.
It would explain how Verity knows so much more than Rune when it comes to magic if she IS Cressida in disguise. Cressida using Rune’s mission to raise a revolt. It also explains the excessive amount of perfume to help hide the scent of her magic. She had 2 sisters also killed for being witches….
“Cressida is alive and she’s more powerful than you’ll ever be. Let her take up your cause.” Before she realized what was happening, Alex leaned in. “She can finish what you started.”
Ummmmm, what? Absolutely not! He knows how evil she is. So IS he spelled/bewitched?
