“Lionel took Darcy.”
The vines uncoiled suddenly, and I gazed up at the Heirs in the centre of the lounge in King’s Hollow. Seth, Caleb, and Max all waved their fingers at me which had been cast in an illusion to look like Nymph probes, laughing their asses off.
WHAT THE FUCK
“Everyone’s coming?” I breathed in surprise as I climbed onto the window ledge. “Of course they are,” Darius growled firmly and my heart squeezed at that. I leapt from the window, unleashing my wings, and soaring over The Wailing Wood with my pulse drumming against my temples.
“She’s not here?” I breathed, relief spilling through me as I realised this was a trap. I was a stupid, idiotic bitch for walking into it, but I didn’t even care in that moment. Because that meant Darcy was still safe.
I was going to fucking kill him. Enough was enough.
He’d done countless things like that to me over the years. He’d beaten my brother into submission too. But not her. I wouldn’t let him touch her ever again.
watched this wild creature who’d offered me his love after all the shit we’d put each other through taking down the man who’d ruined him. Darius beat him with a brutality that wouldn’t be sated by anything less than death. Blood coated his hands, his arms, and even speckled his face, but he wouldn’t relent as Lionel struggled beneath him. His features were set in a determined mask of rage and everything about him spoke of violence and danger which sent a shiver running right through me.
Darius was savage, brutal, vicious, broken and mine. And in that moment, I had no desire for the darkness in him to ever let up. I wanted him. Every damaged, depraved, dirty piece of his soul was made to fit with all the twisted, ruined parts of my own. And if the stars didn’t like it then I’d happily climb up into the sky and tear them all down for him. Right after I watched him kill his father.
“Then tell me who you love.” He walked away from me as I frowned at the question, the shadows wild and seething beneath my skin. I closed my eyes as I tried to answer, searching the deep chasm of nothing within me until I caught a glimmer of something which I’d lost. “A girl with blue hair,” I breathed as the echoes of memories stirred within my heart. “And a man with a dark soul.”
