登入Chapter Sixty-Three“Let’s go inside.” Marcus said and I turned towards the house. He stopped me, his arm going around my shoulder as he picked me up.“Let me carry you over the threshold?” His words were soft. I shivered, tucking myself against him.He carried me over the threshold, my stomach still rolling from our ride home. I was used to riding a dragon, just not outside of the bedroom. Flying through the sky would have been magical if I hadn’t been so terrified. Maybe it would be different when I shifted and tried it out. Or maybe I was just meant to keep my feet on the ground. The door swung open.April moved forward and I realized that the entire flock was waiting for us. I looked around the room, seeing it on their faces as Sin closed the door behind Louis.James dropped to his knees, as did the rest of the flock. Even members I didn’t know. They were accepting all of us, Sin included. April wrapped her arms around me, making Marcus grumble. “I knew you could do it.” She whi
Chapter Sixty-Two“Wait.” A voice called out and I turned back. ****Amelia POV*** “Wait.” The voice called out weakly and Marcus turned around. I opened my eyes, looking over at Abner’s mate, she leaned weakly against the wall. Her hair was a mess, as if she’d pulled at it.“Jorunn.” Marcus said, moving closer to her. I could hear the worry in his voice. He hadn’t liked Abner. It seemed he didn’t feel the same way about Vega’s mother.Her nose was bleeding and she was fighting to stay standing. She took a stumbling half step towards us and Marcus stopped her.“You should rest. The loss of a mate is-”She shook her head, giving him a tight smile. “I will, I just wanted to say thank you.” Her eyes met mine, bright and bird-like. I frowned, not understanding why she was thanking us for killing her mate.“He, I could, I could never do it. I wanted to. I knew it’s what needed to be done, but with the bond-““I know.” I said, not knowing what else I was supposed to say.“I knew your fathe
Chapter Sixty-OneShe nodded her head, taking it into her hand. He turned back to look at my mate. Lifting up his pant leg, he removed another small dagger that was strapped to his calf. Her lips quirked up into a smile as she accepted the blade, turning it around in her hand. I doubted they would use them, but it was a nice thought on his part. I smiled, if that wasn’t a sure sign of where his allegiance stood, I didn’t know what was. “Should you need it.” He said, dipping his head.Amelia’s grin stretched wider. “Thank you.” Izar handed another blade to his lover before he frowned. I realized that he’d run out of blades. That was okay, if I needed to I’d use my claws.Amelia turned, heading back down the hallway. She stopped in front of the thick doorway, taking a deep breath. She looked over her shoulder at me and I felt that power move over my skin again. It was strange. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say that her sisters had to be close by. I could smell the scent of them cl
Chapter SixtyHer face dropped as if I’d struck her. Her hand came up to her lips as she touched her teeth before turning away from me. Her shoulders shaking, I could feel everything that she was feeling. I knew that feeling, I had seen it more times than I could count. Amelia was on the edge of losing control.Stepping closer to her, knowing that my mate needed me. If she felt like Louis did, like I did, then I knew she’d been hunting Nash as he had hunted her. We dragons didn’t take kindly to someone going after our mates. “Amelia,” I said, taking a step closer to her. She turned, looking at me with glowing red eyes. The light flickering off of her, making her eyes look like glittering rubies in the darkness. “Marcus.” She said, and I grabbed her. Pulling her closer to me, wrapping my arms around her as I took in her scent. She smelled like home underneath the coppery scent of Nash’s blood.I kissed the top of her head before she pulled back to look at me and my heart fluttered.
Chapter Fifty-Nine“Are you coming with us?” Boston asked. Her words were spoken so softly. So full of hope, as if she were ready to be crushed down at any moment.“Marcus,” Vega said. Pressing her lips together, her eyes finally met mine. Pulling her mate to stand beside her. “Your mate, she-““Amelia?” I asked, feeling a lump rise in my throat. What had happened to her? What had she done?Vega looked away from me before she spoke. “She, she. Marcus, you’re free. You should go home to your mate.”Stepping closer to Vega, I had to take a deep breath to get my dragon under control “What do you mean?”“Just as I said, you should return home to your mate. Leave.” She turned away from me, moving to the door.I caught her wrist. “Vega?”“She’s traded herself for your freedom, my fath- Abner.” Her eyes moved up to mine and I could see the pain she was dealing with. “Nash will be taking over the council, with Amelia at his side.”“No, no.” I said, shaking my head as I let her wrist go. “She
Chapter Fifty-EightIt was breathtaking, almost magical with its clear pristine pools of water. Towering columns of stalagmites and stalactites. The walls seemed to glitter in the flickering light of a single torch.His arm wrapped around me and he pulled me tighter against his body. His words were a rough growl as he spoke. “I don’t know what your up to, pretty thing. But I won’t let it stop me from what I plan to do.”“What do you mean?” I asked, looking up at him. I pressed my body against his, resting my hand on his muscular chest as I peered up into his glowing snake like eye.He brought his hand up, tangling his fingers in my hair. His lips twitching as he pulled my face closer to his. “I will take that seat as an elder. You can do as I wish or after we’re wed, I’ll have my fun and then kill you.” His open lips pressed against mine, his tongue moving into my mouth. I let a trickle of my power out and he moaned against my lips. I bit his lower lip, drawing blood. Giving it a sha
Chapter Fifty-Two“Nash,” Sin answered, his eyes flicking away from my face back to Marcus.Sucking in a deep breath, I glanced between Marcus and Louis. “Why?” “It wasn’t a decision I willingly made.” Sin grimaced, not looking away from Marcus.“What do you expect us to do about it?” Marcus al
Chapter Forty-Nine“What just happened?” I demanded as I blinked, trying to get my bearings. The firm surface under my finger tips vibrated and I frowned. That wasn’t right. “You’ve never teleported before?” Sin chuckled, smirking up at me, and I realized that I was sprawled across him on a bed
Chapter Forty-Eight“Louis, Amelia. Please take a seat.” Marcus said, as he nodded towards the couch. His tone left little room for argument and I nervously bit my lip, I felt like I was in school again and had been called to the principal’s office. Both Louis and I glanced at each other before
Chapter Forty SixBiting my lip as I looked over at my computer screen, noticing the time, I switched the phones over to the voicemail service. The entire time I did, I tried to pretend that Sin wasn’t there, watching me. ‘Marcus, Louis.’ I hung up the phone, peeking over at Sin. He smirked as he
