Elara POVShocked, I turned my gaze on Vee. “You just hit Xavier with magic! What the fuck are you doing?” Instead of answering my question, she slowly turned around and pointed up into the sky. I squinted in that direction, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. Our ward faintly glimmered, where it was securely in place.“We must surrender,” Vee said. “Otherwise she will break through our ward.”I glanced at Vee, then at the blue sky again just in time to spot the dark shape that blocked out the sun. My breath hitched as the black creature drew closer to us, its wings tucked to its sides, free falling toward earth.My mouth fell open, and everyone in the courtyard stilled, as the monstrous beast opened her wings, caught the wind, and made a whooshing sound as she flew right over our magical dome. Her underbelly of black scales caught the sun and gleamed when she rose back into the air for a second pass.Everyone knew the Council Queen was a dragon shifter, but having that knowledge an

Elara POV“Yes,” I said. “And now that you have a vested interest in this cause, what do you need from us, information? The Council is much better equipped to deal with 5th Circle than we are, so you’re going to deal with Vexx, right?”Agent Martin and the queen exchanged a long, loaded glance. She said, “It’s not quite that simple. Silas Vexx has very powerful and influential friends. For years his ilk have been complaining about having a dragon such as myself in charge of the Council. They fear me because I’m more powerful than them. They think one day I will strike against them, dissolve the Council, and rule as a dictator. They are afraid I will take their power from them.“Which puts me in a tricky position. If I publicly claim Vexx as my enemy, others will rally to his side and rise up against me. They will believe that I’m coming up with excuses to take out the most powerful voice against me, and that will divide my people. I don’t want a war with the witches. Dragons and witch

Elara POVWhile I enjoyed a bit of exhibitionism with my mates, I hoped Hexfort wasn’t planning on taking me into one of those voyeur rooms.A tall woman wearing a black, sequined dress approached us. Her eyes roamed appreciatively over Xavier, followed by her palms a moment later, and I had to stop myself from growling at her. She was smoothing her hands down my mate’s chest. But I couldn’t blow my cover. Instead, I bit the inside of my cheek and averted my gaze.“Welcome, Mr. Meyers,” she purred. “If you’re here to do business, I will take the girl and fetch you the best price for her. We have several buyers looking tonight.”Xavier gripped her wrist, then squeezed until she winced. “I expect nothing short of the absolute highest price for her,” he said in a low, menacing tone before releasing her with a slight shove.“Of course, Mr. Meyers.” She sobered and smoothed her dress. “Your first drink is in the house.” Then she turned a haughty eye on me, scrutinizing my assets. The lea

Elara POVAt the manor house the gloomy atmosphere hung over us all like a dense cloud. Mama Holt was gone and my three mates were inconsolable, not to mention the rest of the Penumbra crew.We were fighting for freedom and justice and vengeance, but at what price? Everyone who’d helped us destroy the Eclipse Pack wolves was now dead, Vexx’s Prophecy Fae was outmaneuvering us at every turn, and even secretly having the Council Queen’s support didn’t seem like enough. Maybe we really were fighting a losing battle and we were just too blind to see the truth.Winning or losing, the outcome hardly mattered when we were all marked for death. 5th Circle would hunt every single last one of us down. By giving up and running away we’d only be prolonging the inevitable. It was us or them. And I was not giving up until I tore Vexx’s bloody, beating heart from his chest and held it in my hands.I stared out at the setting sun from the bedroom balcony, the warm breeze tickled my shower-dampened sk

Kaelen POVWe were sitting ducks out here in this open field. The enchantress’s trap was so obvious it was ridiculous. 5th Circle had to be idiots if they decided to show up tonight. At the same time, without all those Sinful Saint hybrids to inflate our numbers, Vexx could take this opportunity to overpower us. I gave it a fifty-fifty chance of them showing. And if they did, a fifty-fifty chance we’d get out of here alive.While we waited, my attention kept sliding back to Elara. Having her off on that single mission, with only Xavier to protect her, had broken something inside of me. Her being out of my reach had nearly driven me mad with the fear of losing her. Lysander hadn’t fared much better, and we swore an oath that night that we’d never let that happen again. Over our dead bodies would this woman ever be apart from us again.I never needed anyone before, not until Elara. Now I lived for the feel of her emotions swirling in my chest, for every glance she gave me, for the feel
