Who has been in charge since I’ve been gone?” “Me.” They both said in unison.
I’ve told him time and time again I will not reveal Velyra’s secrets.” “Then why is he protecting you?” “I wish I had an answer.
“I saved your life, and you saved mine. We’re even.” We weren’t even close to even.
Kai, do you know what the blood of a dragon or wyvern will do to flesh once exposed?”
“It melts flesh within seconds, far too quickly for even the fae to heal, depending on the depth of the wound without the assistance of a healer.
“She hates me.” “She does,”
“And you?” He went to open his mouth and hesitated for a moment. His jaw ticked. “To be determined.”
Jace spun around. “Trust me, I am very aware of what she is capable of.”
Almost all of them have some form of fae abilities, whether that be heightened senses or healing capabilities.
somehow I was quicker than she was.
“Stop,” I breathed in her face,
She brought her lips to my own. “Never,” she whispered onto them, and a moment later she knee...

And another second later, a shimmering blade of night appeared across my assailant’s throat. A blade of obsidian. My dagger.
“And then you touched her.” He let out a breathy laugh. “You will die for that.”
He then grabbed my face intensely with both hands, his eyes darting back and forth between my own. “Are you hurt?”
The only one who was under attack tonight was the woman I had to save from your five men.”
I would never allow that to happen.” “To anyone,” she whispered almost sadly, as if she wouldn’t have expected me to save her. “To anyone, and especially to you,”
“I couldn’t let you die. Even that first night on the ship.
The thought of you even being injured…I can’t explain it. It feels as if flames ignite within my very veins and light my entire existence on fire. It's not an option I was willing to accept. Nor will I ever.”
“From this moment moving forward, you are no longer my enemy or my prisoner.
We are going to figure everything out. Together.”
His kiss ignited a blaze within me. In my very being—my soul.
His fingers lightly traced the scars on my back, the whip marks, sending a shudder through me. “Lia,” he groaned. “You’re perfect.”
wouldn’t be at home waiting for me to return. She would be right next to me on the battlefield, which both excited and terrified me.
“Beware of the day the pillar falls…”
“Beware of the day the pillar falls, for an heir will rise of blood and malice…”
“And when the moment comes that the enemy weeps, a stranger of kin shall forge the way for the one who was promised.”
I am sorry, Lia. My sweet and fiery Elianna Valderre. I will be with your mother soon now, where I belong. Please forgive me.
“Whatever you do,” she continued. “Whatever the outcome of all of this is…just please, don’t fucking hurt him.”
I refuse to allow that to happen. It isn’t a fucking option. I promised her, Zae. I promised her that!”
Without hesitation, she spat right in his face. “Go fuck yourself,” she seethed, her lip curling back in an animalistic snarl. Now that’s my Lia.
I wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t. They hurt her, intentionally.
“You have never known her worth, and you were never deserving of someone like her,”
“She will never be yours again!”
“Kellan, don’t you fucking touch him with that!” she seethed in a tone that promised death
Then I realized it was how much pain I felt. I felt his pain.
This couldn’t be possible. The only way you could feel another’s pain…their true pain, physical and emotional, was if you’re their…mate.
The other half of their soul. Their equal. Their twin-flame. My mate.
you will die for what you did today. You will die for the havoc and devastation you caused this village of innocents. And you will die for harming what’s mine.”
I was being dragged away from him.
“My mate,” I tried to whisper. And then infinite darkness claimed me.
We thought you were dead until we felt your pulse.” I wish I was. I would give anything—anything to trade places with Elianna right now.
we storm Isla and take our lives back.” I hesitated from the ache in my chest. “We take Lia back. And then we end this shit once and for all.”
