Page 154 of Her Ivory Flame

“Kaden had a plan,” she said quietly over her shoulder.

“He didn’t tell us he had a plan,” Boone said next to him.

“He knew none of you would like it,” she replied.

“Kaden never hides anything from us,” he barked, her arms folding across his chest.

He watched her closely, her entire body still and he could sense a new electricity in the air. Every nerve in his body went on alert and he glanced at the rest of the males around him, all seeming to sense the same thing.

“He planned on getting taken?” Finnley finally asked.

“Yes,” she answered calmly.

“Why?” Boone yelled, anger in his voice.

“He knew Mavros was after his power and he knew the spy probably saw him when he busted the gate open in Bromel.” Her voice struggled slightly, almost as if she was in physical pain.

“This can’t be happening!” Finnley growled and ran his hand through his hair.

“If what Mavros said is true, he is going to take Kaden’s power and bring death upon us all.” he snarled and saw her flinch.

He watched her tilt her head back slightly, a wicked smile forming on her face that sent goosebumps up his spine and he watched her white flame start to engulf her. When he finally saw her eyes, black started to swirl in them and he felt his heart stop for a beat.

Realization slammed into his chest and he just stared at her in shock as the color around her started to change.

Black flames twisted down her arm mixing with her ivory flame already lit around her and wings bleeding black from the top mixing to white like a gradient coloring.

Xander could feel the air around them tense, his eyes glancing towards his comrades who all had the same wide-eyed stare. He knew they could feel the same blanket of cold wind blow through the room he did, and every hair on his arm stood.

Now it made sense why Kaden didn’t fight and why she wasn’t worried about his power in Mavros’s hands.

Her voice, so cold, so calculating, made his whole body shutter at her darkness now standing in front of him as her eyes turned completely black.

“I am Death.”
