Tethered (The Binding Chronicles, #1)

by Elayna R. Gallea

I was rifling through the wardrobe when a cry came from the other room. My body tensed, and alarm pulsed through me. I pulled on my shadows so fast that my head spun as I landed on the other side of the bathing room door. My wings flared behind me and my hands clenched at my sides as I turned in a slow circle.

“What’s wrong?” I snarled. My voice was barely recognizable to my ears. My lips were curled back and red tinged my vision as I sought the source of the threat. Every single part of my body screamed at me to protect Luna as I stepped toward her. “Who hurt you? Did the murderer come back? Why did you cry out?”

They targeted my wife, and for that, there was only one available recourse. They would have to die.

I love you, Luna. More than anyone else in my entire life.”

“Make no mistake, darling, you are mine. My wife. My princess. Your enemies are my enemies. Your problems are now my problems. I will destroy anyone who threatens you. I will tear them limb from limb, painting the snow with the blood that runs through their veins before presenting you with the stakes used to pierce their blackened hearts.”
