I snort out a laugh. “But you’re already dead.”
“Doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” He grunts as he’s forced to take another small step backward. “Now, shut the hell up so we can focus. No one’s dying today.”
As much as I’d love to believe him, I know better.
Another rumble of thunder reaches my ears, but instead of falling away, the sound just continues to fill the air.
“Fuck!” Blaze curses as the three of them are forced back once more.
I’ve made myself as small as I can, but it’s no use. There’s no way I can avoid their touches any longer.
My eyes fall shut as their bodies press against mine.
At least I get to die with them at my side.
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
Titan
It’s so hard to remain focused on the battle at hand when we’re being forced further and further back.
I can’t keep myself from counting down the distance between myself and Dalia.
Surrounding her to keep her safe seemed like a good idea, but as we’re forced backward step by step, I’m beginning to see our error.
When she tells us she loves us, I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest.
We’re barely a hair's breadth from her when I tell her I love her too.
Then her back presses against mine and pain explodes in my chest.
No.
No.
No.
“No,” I yell into the face of the demon attacking me.
We killed our fated mate—for real this time.
There won’t be any coming back from her death this time.
But I can’t focus on that as the attacks keep coming.
My head jerks as the sound of bikes draws near. “Steel!”
“They’re here. Thank fuck.”
“Too bad it’s too late for Dalia,” Blaze groans, pain weighing down his words.
I grind my teeth, refusing to think about the woman I love being dead at my back. Right now, I need to focus on the fight before me. If I allow myself to admit we’ve just lost her, then I won’t be able to carry on.
And Dalia would want us to keep fighting for Iero.
Magic flies across the battlefield as the MCs dismount and dive into the fray.
The Gorgons MC, the Wayward Pookas MC, and the Wild Hunt MC. Three of our most trusted allies.
