I close my eyes. And I purr.
Chapter 115
Dread
Both brothers are asleep.
Both are purring. Loudly.
And both have their mates spread across their chests like blankets.
Just a pair of terrifying monsters drinking like frat boys, stripping to their drawers, and swallowing magical bees.
Nix isn’t drunk. Or recovering. But she hasn’t moved in nearly an hour.
So, I lie on my back.
I spread my arms to the side.
And I let my magic free.
Chapter 116
Rune
Sunlight presses against my eyelids as I inhale storm clouds.
Warmth surrounds me. Fills me.
Bliss.
Waking up on top of Vameer, with birdsong in the air…
I yawn. And the movement pulls my fangs out of… skin.
I pause as I swallow the taste of honey.
Did I bite Vameer in my sleep?
The arms around my back tighten. “Mon Coeur.”
I feel his voice as much as I hear it.
And just like that, I remember.
My heart rate jumps. Once. Then Vameer locks it down.
The gunfire.
His hand strokes down my spine. “You’re safe.”
The vampires looking at me. Throwing their daggers.
His purr increases. “We are safe.”
The dagger thrown at Vameer’s back.
Anger blankets my fear, putting it out and replacing it with rage.
