The moment, however, that his fingers wrapped around her bare arm, the earth began to rumble beneath her feet once more.
She glanced down. “Do you feel that?”
He nodded. “Kaden says this is elf-lord power.”
She blinked, lifting her gaze to stare at him. “You talked to him, then?”
“He admitted he was a reformed elf-lord. Did you know that’s what he was?”
“I did.”
The rumbling grew stronger. “He said you use the same power to sustain the mist.”
“That’s true and it also provides the visions, the ones we’ve used on our missions. And a vision is definitely coming right now, but you’ve never been with me before when I channel the elf-lord power. Stone, it always hurts, so be prepared. In fact, maybe you should let go of me.”
He released her arm, but he didn’t move away from her. His eyes were wide as she braced herself for the power to hit.
When it struck, her back arched and the muscles of her legs seized as though there was just too much power for her to handle. She clenched her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut. She levitated a couple of inches off the floor to keep from falling.
“Aralynn, this is too much. I can feel your agony.”
She bit the words out, her eyes still closed. “It’ll be okay. You’ll see.”
“No, I don’t see.” Suddenly, his hand was on her arm once more and at the exact moment he made contact, skin-to-skin, the elf-lord power left her body and flowed straight into Stone.
And just like that, there was no more pain. She levitated in a descent until her booted feet touched the floor.
She gasped as she opened her eyes. “What did you do?”
But Stone merely stared at her, an expression on his face she couldn’t read. Was he in shock? Was the elf-lord power hurting him?
She didn’t know.
When the earth quieted down, he released her arm. “I sense a vision coming, about the three mastyrs.”
“What do you mean?” she asked.
“Earlier this evening, Harris mentioned no one could raise Gerrod, Ethan or Quinlan on their coms, but I know now that each was taken by Margetta against his will. That’s what the vision will be about when it
comes. Aralynn, how do I know this? I’m not fae.”
“I don’t know.” She was thoroughly confused about what was happening. “It must be the elf-lord power.”
“When I spoke to Harris just a few minutes ago while waiting for you, he said he was going to try to track the mastyrs down. Now he won’t have to.”
He turned and set his half-empty bottle of beer on the nearby kitchen counter then met her gaze once more. His whole body was vibrating with the power that flowed through him. “I don’t know how this is happening. Vampires don’t have visions. And this power. Sweet Goddess, it’s as though I’ve been born to it.”
“Did it hurt you?” she asked. “I mean when you first channeled it?”
He shook his head. “Not even a little.”
Rosamunde didn’t understand what was going on.
His lips parted. “The vision is almost on me. Sweet Goddess!”
Chapter Five
Stone felt the elf-lord power vibrating through every part of his body. It was different than any frequency he’d ever experienced, as though it enhanced each ability he possessed while at the same time elevating his power levels.
