“What are you doing?” I whisper, trying to look past him to see if there’s anyone else in the hallway who could report him. “Did you love him?” The question is a low rumble of sound. “Someone is going to see you!” “Did. You. Love. Him?” Xaden

Drake’s arms bulge as he holds Cat back, his hand covering her mouth. That muffled sound. It’s her screaming. Drake’s face crumples for the length of a heartbeat as he whispers in her ear.

“Give me that.” To my surprise, Mira takes the kitten, not the map, cradling it against her chest with one hand. “Her name is Broccoli, not that,” he mutters. She looks at him like he’s sprouted whiskers. “You named a kitten Broccoli?” “No one really wants broccoli, but it’s good for you, so seems fitting to me.”

He scoffs and gestures down the hall. “You have a room. It hasn’t moved.” “It’s his room,” I correct him quietly. “And he’s all broody.” “We’re home, Vi. Act like it.” He grins, then turns around me, walking backward down the hallway on the right. “Sleep in your bed. He’ll just brood harder if you don’t.”

“There is such a thing.” Xaden’s voice drops. “It’s absolutely more dangerous than lightning. It’s a form of inntinnsic,” he ends on a whisper.

“I did not choose it any more than Tairn chose lightning,” she says defensively. “But you have been known to wander while dreaming. It’s harmless. You’re mostly drawn to him.” The blanket falls from my fingers. “And you said nothing?” Tairn growls. “You did not inform her the first time she wielded lightning!” Andarna argues. “She needed to discover it herself.” “Oh gods.” I start to shake.

“I’m not leaving you!” He leans in and slides his hand behind my neck. “I’m not leaving you, Imogen,” he repeats, softer this time. “We’ll take Quinn, but we have to go now. Let me have her.”

“I love you.” Violet’s voice cracks the cold, and a silken thread of warmth wedges itself in the opening before it seals shut, locking it in place. No. Wait. I grab for that thread with desperate hands, clawing to keep her as more of my pieces are blown away, lost to the void. She is warmth and light and air and love.
