INICIAR SESIÓNFin had given her an hour. He'd held her. Made love to her. And now he wanted answers.
"Are you going to tell me the real reason you went to see Elle?"
He'd been waiting for her to confide in him. She hadn't.
"Yes. But I need you to promise me that you won't tell Cael until we get to the bottom of it. Are you okay with that?"
"Yes."
"I have to go somewhere tonight. I need you to promise you won't follow."
"Can you tell me more fi
Fin's mate had just dodged a hundred arrows laced with black magic, landed in a river without a sound, and was now asking Elle if she wanted to try another one.He didn't know what to do with that.Cael:Why are they so damn calm?Fin:This is not something they should be handling alone. It shouldn't have been kept from us.Elle stood. Her legs shook beneath her, knees buckling twice before she steadied. Twenty feet away, three wolves clocked every tremor."Ithink I know where the next one is."They shifted mid-run, bodies blurring from light to fur and back again as they
Fin had given her an hour. He'd held her.Made love to her.And now he wanted answers."Are you going to tell me the real reason you went to see Elle?"He'd been waiting for her to confide in him. She hadn't."Yes. But I need you to promise me that you won't tell Cael until we get to the bottom of it. Are you okay with that?""Yes.""I have to go somewhere tonight. I need you to promise you won't follow.""Can you tell me more first? I won't do anything against your wishes, but I'm not giving you that promise blind."A blatant lie. The gods couldn't have stopped him from tracking her tonight. And in general, if he sensed danger, he would follow her without apology or permission."I wanted to bring you. I don't like it. But we have to go alone without our mates and Cael especially can't come or he will die. And I don't want anything to happen to you either.""It sounds suspicious though. You have to
There, in the hot water, Fin let her peel back every hard layer war had built around him.And when she straddled him, smiling, he could no longer hold back the part of him that wanted to claim her completely."Fuck, I'm in love with you.""I love you too, Fin.""Mine. Mate." He kissed her between each word, then shoved his tongue into her mouth, deepening it instantly.Before she could catch her breath, he thrust up hard, forcing every thick inch of his cock inside her in one brutal stroke.She winced. A sharp burn flared between her legs as he forced his thick cock even deeper, stretching her already sore
Absolutely not.Nothing on this continent was going to keep him from following her tonight.Xeon:I don't like this. It is odd that you can't come and she's being that insistent.Fin:Nothing is going to keep me away from her. Nothing.Xeon: Why not let Aeron make a portal if it's going to be a run? This is stupid.Fin: I want Nova to tell me things.Elle's pushing too hard. There better be a damn good reason.Xeon: Seraphine says Nova weakens when she's not n
"That was a lot."Cael blew out a long breath and leaned back, rolling his neck.Nova swallowed, composed. Fin squeezed her hand, thumb tracingcircles on her knuckles."Did they say how I would die?" Cael's knuckles were white on his glass, but his tone was the practiced calm of a Beta.Jax's arms tightened across his chest. His weight shifted against the wall."No."Cael's mouth pulled sideways. He took a drink. Longer than necessary.She remembered that fortune teller from months ago. Her eyes went wide for a second. She didn't say anything, butshe definitely needed to flag that with Elle.
Nova downed all three tonics in one gulp. Rapid succession. Like a damn pro.Jax's brows lifted. The Nova he knew would have argued with Elias for ten minutes first.Fin was attempting to drink his tonic, face pinching with every sip, while Elias put ointment on his back."Nova, how did you drink this in one gulp?"He looked down at his own glass, then at her empty ones. Then set his down like it had personally offended him."Line of shots next time we go out. Nova versus Elle versus Marra," Cael said. Elle rolled her eyes and playfully pushed him.Color started to come back into her face
The corridor twisted like a living thing beneath the castle. Cold stone. Ancient shadows.Aeron walked in silence ahead of her. He seemed to be deep in thought.Jax caught up to her and grabbed her hand, giving it a squeeze. She looked at him with grateful eyes and that nearly broke him.He pulled
Warmth.That was the first thing she felt. Soft furs beneath her knees. A heartbeat.Nova stirred slightly, the ache in her ribs was a dull hum now. Her cheek was pressed against the slope of someone's chest.Her entire body was draped over his.Chest to chest. Legs tangled. His arms wrapped firmly
"...You good?"Fin slowly turned his head, expression blank, hollow, and vaguely murderous."Do I look good to you."Jax snorted. "No. You look like you're about to declare war."Fin inhaled sharply through his nose — the kind of inhale a man takes when he's restraining himself from breaking furnit
Lisa Rellane's hands were already shaking before she crossed the threshold. Lieutenant Blackhart escorted her in. Her gaze stayed fixed on the floor, her fingers twisted in her apron like she was trying to wring courage out of the fabric."Sit," Fin said.She obeyed so fast the chair screeched.Fin'
