CHAPTER 31 SELENE'S POV "Lucien?" The name barely made it past my lips. The serpent didn't move. Those enormous golden eyes remained fixed on me, unblinking and impossibly familiar. I looked down at my hand, at the crushed flowers dripping sap across my palm, and realized I had snapped their stems without feeling it. I squeezed my eyes shut. When I opened them, the serpent was still there. "This is a dream," I whispered. The words sounded hollow even to me. I was standing in the garden. I could smell the damp earth, the night-blooming jasmine, the metallic tang of my own blood where a thorn had caught my wrist. Dreams didn't carry scent. Dreams didn't leave scratches. But I knew this creature. Not this exact serpent, perhaps—not consciously. But for years, I had dreamed of a massive serpent with dark scales and golden eyes that watched me from shadows, coiled and waiting. Those dreams had stopped the moment I began sharing a bed with Lucien. I looked at the serpent's body,

Chapter 33

SELENE'S POVI woke to the sensation of being watched, a prickling heat on the back of my neck that had my muscles locking up before my eyes even opened. When I finally forced them open, Lucien was there, hovering over me with an intensity that felt less like concern and more like scrutiny. His golden eyes were the first thing I saw, unblinking and unnervingly bright in the dim light of the bedroom, and for a split second, a jolt of pure, instinctive terror shot through me so violently I nearly scrambled out of the bed.I froze, my breath catching in my throat as I stared up at him, waiting for the monster I remembered to reveal itself.
