Mated (Mortal, Book Two)
They appear on the bridge through the fog, emerging like ghosts.
More and more come, and Alec is no match.
"Alec!" I step onto the bridge right as he grabs a fallen Silver Hunter's sword.
Before I can take another step, he slashes through the rope railing and the boards. The bridge snaps in half. I jump back, my butt landing hard on the ground. The two sides of the bridge flip backwards, towards their respective pieces of land. Alec and the Silver Hunters fall through the air.
"No!" I reach out a hand, knowing its worthless but trying anyway.
