He looked at her carefully, but then he nodded.
“Yes,” he said. “Yes, I can feel it in my heart.”
“That’s how I get through each day. My mom and dad are gone. My friends and relatives are all dead, Felix. It’s just me left. I keep their memories in my heart, and I guard those memories with everything I’ve got because I know that one day, they’ll fade away.”
“I’m sorry for what happened to you. It’s not fair.”
“It’s not fair,” she nodded, “but that’s why I’m here, isn’t it?”
Revenge.
It had guided her.
It had wrapped itself around her like a bright blanket of light. She knew perfectly well that as soon as she found Ursula, she would know what to do. She would know how to kill the witch. She would know.
All day, Tabitha had felt strong. She’d felt her power pulsing, coursing through her veins, but she didn’t know how. She hadn’t eaten anything new, and she hadn’t done anything new except...
Well, except him.
That would be crazy, though, wouldn’t it?
It would be crazy to think that having sex with Felix had somehow replenished her energy.
There had been rumors, long ago, that women who had sex with mythical creatures would be supercharged witches. It was something people always whispered about, but she’d never, not for a second, believed that it was something that could be true for her.
Besides, she knew the rumors were that dragons carried the most power. That was why she suspected Ursula had a dragon. Ursula had been rumored to be wildly powerful, and when she’d slaughtered the mages, she’d brought shifters with her. Felix wasn’t a shifter, though. He was just an ordinary human.
Wasn’t he?
Tabitha looked over at him: normal hair, handsome face, soft skin. There was nothing about this man that screamed “wild” o
r “different” or “not a human.”
Well, he at least looked wildly ordinary and normal.
There was nothing particularly strange or unusual about him. He was handsome, yes, but he was just himself. He wasn’t magical. He’d told her that he wasn’t magical, and she couldn’t feel any magic on him.
And yet...
Felix didn’t know much about his past, apparently. He still hadn’t told her how he’d ended up on the island. He hadn’t explained how he’d gotten there or how he had his own private cave. Judging by the assortment of things he had, it had been a lot longer than a few days or weeks.
If she had to guess, that had been his private cave for years.
So, what was he doing here?
If he didn’t work for Ursula, then he knew people who did. If he didn’t work for her, though, why would he still be on the island? Tabitha had a creeping fear that perhaps Felix didn’t exactly want to help her.
What if he was only assisting her because he was leading her to her doom?
Only, she didn’t think that was it.
She thought it must be something else.
Something terrible.
Something...
Well, there was something he wasn’t telling her. Maybe he didn’t even know what it was.
