He’s lying.
Ryan roared in frustration as I flew around him in circles. He paced around, but I didn’t take my eyes away from him but hopefully gave Kane more time to find Aria.
Ryan smiled as he sat on the floor, waiting. “You’ll get tired,” he said with a smirk. “All the while, I’m not using any energy.”
Across the distance, Blake’s eyes met mine. He gave me a nod, and I knew what that meant.
“Enough time for them to have rescued Aria. That was all I needed time for. You can preserve your energy, you can kill me, but the one thing you will never have... is Lacey.”
Ryan swiftly jumped back to his feet, his looked around. “Where is he?”
I grinned. “You mean Kane? I imagine he is taking Aria home to her mother.”
A howl of frustration boomed from Ryan.
I smiled.
He swooped into the air, grabbing my leg and pulling me downward. I crashed landed on the floor with my wing landing at a grotesque angle and pain seared in my back.
Ryan pounced in the air, his razor sharp talons curled and his lips curled back in a monstrous snarl flashing his white, long fangs.
She knew.
Subconsciously, she knew what she was really afraid of. Deep down Lacey wasn’t scared of the vampires and their fangs because as I looked at Ryan, his fangs were nothing like I’d ever seen before.
She’d dreamt him but never remembered.
I scrambled to my feet. One wing hung limply, and I had to retract them. I was about to lose my angel strength, but the wing was going to be a detrimental to me staying alive. Ryan came running toward me, and I did him, ramming into each other with a blast that fired down my spine.
A scorching pain flashed through my head, my neck, my chest. I opened my eyes, and I lost Ryan to his wolf, his eyes yellow with a dark black rim. He lifted his front limb and hacked across my body, and I couldn’t do anything as I covered my throat to stop him from taking me there. It didn’t bother Ryan as he continued to slash his talons relentlessly across my torso.
My sense of time had disappeared and I couldn’t open my eyes for being weighed down by a heaviness on my body, as though Ryan was on top of me. A blinding light filled my consciousness, and I realised I was floating upward.
Death...
I tried to fight my decease. This was the same as the other times. The gods were taking me back again. Ready to live again...
I couldn’t go.
I had to fight it.
This time, it was only me.
I needed my goddess.
I had to fight the light.
Fight!
Chapter 47
Blake
Ariacried.Itwasweak. She needed her mother, and she needed her quick.
“Take her,” I said. I handed the baby to Kane; she was dressed in an outfit that was caked in dirt and leaves, her cheeks looked rosy from being left out in the cold. The anger burned inside me. That he could do this. “Get her to Lacey.”
He nodded, and we both turned. I watched as the rush of motion on the ground below got more and more frantic. Seb was trying to get to his feet as Ryan’s wolf rained blow after blow on him.
