Shortly after we had finished preparing the feather darts, my heart plunged into my stomach with such intensity that I felt sick. Blanched with nausea and inexplicable fear, I sat at the kitchen table and stared out the nearest window, fighting to keep myself from hyperventilating.“Something happened.”Everett looked suspiciously at me.“What do you mean?”“Something happened,” I repeated with mounting anxiety. Standing up, my legs trembled, although I hadn’t exerted myself at all that day. I barely made it to the window and stared outside into the night as if I could see the very source of the trauma that suddenly struck me. But the mountainside was quiet that night. Deep within me, I knew something was wrong. My fated mate was experiencing intense fear, and now pain radiated through my head and into my body, exploding through my hands like I was impaled by a hundred teeth. “Kiara’s in trouble.”Still sitting at the table, Everett and Gavin exchanged looks. Aislin and Billie had gon

I never thought we’d be going straight to the city of Gunnison from Everett’s place, but instead, Sebastian took me into Grandbay, to the hotel where the surviving operatives in his team were staying. There was still police tape strung up in front of the hotel room that David and his dragons burst into a few weeks ago, the night they kidnapped my mother and killed Aislin’s father. The stench of blood and burning oil permeated the walls even though the hotel staff vigorously tried to wash it away.In the hotel room, I hovered uncomfortably while Sebastian and his colleagues packed up their things.“You can take a shower while you wait,” he suggested. “In fact, I recommend you do.”“Why do I stink?” I drawled.Sebastian hesitated, implying to me that I did, although my unicorn lineage tended to remove the worst of my body odor.“We have special soap and shampoo that dilutes your scent. It might help you avoid getting tracked.”I shrugged and did as he suggested, removing my clothes in t

I never thought I would find it in myself to actually give Colt a chance, but spending that day and the following night with him felt like exactly what I needed. In the evening, Billie visited us with something to eat. I snipped the zip ties around Colt’s wrists so that he could use his hands. As night fell, we lay in the bed with my temple on his shoulder, his hand on my side, gently stroking my hip under my shirt. What I felt for him wasn’t love. It was too soon to call it that. But gazing back into his cool blue eyes under the dark hair hanging over his brow, tracing the scar across the bridge of his nose, watching the way his eyebrows twinged every now and then with his thoughts—I found myself appreciating this docile side of him.Surprisingly, I managed to fall asleep and wake up again that next morning before sunrise. Colt dozed peacefully beside me. He hadn’t made any attempt to harm me during the night, and I had no urge to run away.After everyone was showered and dressed—the

As I watched Kiara leave, the taste of her kiss lingered on my lips. She would be all I’d think about for the next couple of days. Was it selfish of me to have wanted to mark her so soon after she’d lost her mother? I meant it when I suggested that it was just to be able to communicate telepathically because the Mythguard taking her away from me made me feel useless—like, despite all my promises to protect her, I would once again be reduced to just watching everything happen from the sidelines.But I would respect her wishes.I stood by the window and watched the cars pull away. Through their tinted windows, I couldn’t even see Kiara, and with each yard of mounting distance, my fated mate's bond thinned like an elastic band until I knew inevitably Kiara would come crashing back into me. I just had to be patient. Turning around, I found Everett, Gavin, Aislin, and Billie looking at me with varying degrees of judgment.“You really asked to mark her,” Aislin accused.The hair on my arms

There were so many loving words for my mother. I was grateful she had surrounded herself with people with such good hearts, and it made me feel guilty that I’d accused them of such negligence. Everett and Ahislin shared words as well. Then, when all eyes turned to me, I took in a breath and stepped forward.With so much to say about my mother, it stunned me that I could barely say anything at all.“She, um…” I faltered. “She truly was the most beautiful, loving person I’d ever known. She was too good for the world. The skies are a little darker without her.”A lump sat in my throat that hindered my words, forcing me to take a few seconds to compose myself.“She would give everything to those who asked, whether or not they deserved it, but in no way was Muriel Vale a doormat. She stood up for what she believed in and defended the weak. Her heart was noble and pure, and I can only hope to one day share in her grace. I trust that when she chose to take refuge here, it was because she saw

I didn’t know if she felt that way too, but that was how it felt for me. Catrina had always been my brutal, harsh, beautiful other half. I was closer to Billie, yes, in that Billie was a better friend than Catrina, but Catrina had really defined who I was. I was her clever little brother. The voice of reason. I was mischievous when it was least expected, and I was responsible when it was needed, but without Catrina to compare myself to, I just became… reactions and thoughts untethered. I didn’t know who I was supposed to be until my father took the place of Catrina. And then I became the heir. I was supposed to be cruel and merciless like him. But I felt even less like myself then.“I don’t know what to do now that she’s gone,” Kiara finally admitted. Maybe she did know how I felt—the sense of aimlessness, the loss.“I had a dream earlier… I dreamed of the Sky Goddess, Welkin. She’s angry about what happened to my mother. I am, too. And I think she wants me to keep fighting against t
