I keep my hand over his heart as I answer. “Nix.”

Chapter 15

Volik

My mate’s whisper surrounds me, mixing with the sweet floral scent of three-hundred-year-old orchids.

And it’s perfect.

My Nix.

My goddess of the night.

She is perfect.

“Nix.” I taste the letters.

She sighs.

Then I press my mouth to hers.

Fate erupts around us.

Stone cracks beneath my feet.

Sparks of energy bounce off the walls.

My gravito surges as we connect.

Hands move against me.

Feel my shoulders.

Touch my neck.

Then her lips part. And I tilt my head, licking into her open mouth.

My tongue meets hers, and a sense of belonging explodes through me.

Home.

Nix is my home.

Joy and happiness and peace all battle for dominance inside me.

After all these years.

All these centuries.

I have found her.

I have found My Only.

My forever.

Her tongue slides against mine. And then against my fang.

She groans.
