But I want everything to do with you!”
Elianna was everything I never knew I needed.
However, if this bond ties our souls together for the remainder of our lives, then I would consider myself the luckiest man in the realm.”
I swear to the gods, if I found Nox with a person in his mouth, he would be in so much trouble.
“Is that a threat or a promise?” Her words dripped with anticipation. “Both,” I whispered tenderly.
“Long live the rightful queen, Elianna Valderre! And long may she reign!”
“You wish to be strapped to my thigh?” I shrugged a shoulder. “Perhaps you’re right. I prefer to be between them.”
“Elianna…my Lia,”
“Mating bonds are capable of expanding beyond emotions and senses,
“However, specific rituals must be performed to access such potential.”
“You cannot fathom the immense power that resides within me, concealed beneath my skin.
“Your wrath wears on you, Elianna,”
“There once was a time when Velyra was only roamed by the gods,”
“The realm responds to your bloodline, for you are a descendant of the first of the fae—the only lineage that Terra herself conjured.”
Creatures of malevolence were brewed by gods as such, including the creation of the very first High Witch—hidden on enchanted isles they forged within the sea.”
“Terra eventually caught and banished the ungrateful gods and deities from this realm, leaving the creatures conjured here to start a new world, a new life.
Rumor claims they peer through a rift, a looking glass into our realm, from wherever Terra had banished them to.
I would rather not carry the weight of regret and allow my stubbornness to prevent me from forgiving you.”
You’re not okay. Let me help you. Please.”
I promise to rule with grace and integrity…with your commander…” She glanced at me and then back at them. “My mate, and your future king, at my side.”
I dream of the day that I will be able to watch you become what you were always meant to be. What the gods meant for you to be,”
Gods-dammit, I didn’t know if she would ever forgive me for this.
Don’t give them a reason to wake up with heartache. Fight hard. Fight for your lives, and the lives of those you love,”
“I choose to fight. Make me useful.”
My mate lied to me. He lied to keep me here and snuck out with the others.
“Don’t die, okay?” I shouted at her. “You too, Lia. I can’t take all the fun in killing the boys for leaving us out.”
“By blade and by blood,”
A promise from the rightful Valderre queen. A promise of death.
I watched my mate as she roared a battle cry into the air and rushed down the hills, directly into the unfolding turmoil.
That’s my fucking girl.
I whipped around to face him in a crouch as my dagger’s blade remained between my lips, his blood seeping into them.
“It’s me, my Lia. It’s me,” Jace whispered
“Please, Landon. I can’t do all of this without you.”
“Finn,” he started. His breaths were heaving in and out, his stare glassy. “It hurts…I’m so sorry.”
You think a death at my hands will ensure suffering? I can’t fucking wait to see what my queen has in store for you,”
If you are truly her mate, you couldn’t keep something like this from her.”
“Would you like the painful truth or a comforting lie?”
“I do not fear my power,” she hissed. “I fear what will find us if I continue to recklessly use it.”
I want nothing more than to spare you from this, but I cannot keep this from you.”
My eyes drifted to Jace, and I watched him clutch his own chest as my wrath erupted down our bond, searing it in flames of rage.
The truth was that I had already forgiven him the second I saw him on that battlefield.
“I love you. There will never be a single second of time where my desire for you, or to be with you, fades.
“Make no mistake, you will take a knee before my queen…and then I will shatter them both beyond use.”
“Care for a wyvern ride, handsome?” His answering grin awoke something primal deep within me.
