Raze grasped my wrists, pinning medown.
“Oh, boy. Didn’t know you had it in you. You so want some Lilita candy, don’tyou?”
He lay on top of me, his body transforming. Bones cracking, fur bursting across his flesh, his clothesripping.
Ah, how delicious theysounded.
Bee’s shrieks galloped across mythoughts.
No way in the seven kingdoms of hell would she reach him. I flicked my fingers toward Raze, my floundering power zapping him. He flinched off me in a flash, groaning, and rolled across the ground several feetaway.
“Son of a demon’s ass.” I climbed up, rage boiling through myveins.
Raze lay there in his human form spent, naked, and vulnerable, his clothes pooled around him inshreds.
Bee loitered in my ear, and a sense of warming passion swept through me for this bear shifter. “Disgusting.” I turned away and hiked up the hill.Girl, you need to get your priorities straight. What do you think he’ll do to you when he turns? You’re lucky I was here to saveus.
And who walked these days,anyway?
Energy snaked down my arm, and I unleashed the power. “Winds. Take me into yourarms.”
A gale curled around me, causing my gown to flutter around my legs, my hair to blow across my face, and a tiara to fall off my head. I stepped on it, crushing the piece. In that moment, the gale lifted me off my feet as if it were an invisiblehand.
Raze smacked into me from behind, knocking the wind out of me, and I lurched forward. His arms and legs latched around my body midair, him on top of me. We were still floating and the current whistled in my ears, tearing at me. I bucked against him and elbowed him in thegut.
That arousal owned me again.Damn, I might actually fall for Raze if he kept teasing me likethis.
He fisted my hair and twisted my chin to face him. His lips clasped mine, and in that precise moment, a sharp jolt shuddered through me. I screamed into his mouth, and panic sliced throughme.
We fell with a thud, and my vision darkened. The earlier pulse across my skin dampened. And Bee was right there, yelling in my skull to fuckoff.

“Raze!”I gasped as I found myself tangled in his arms, my head pounding, my whole body drenched in sweat despite thecold.
“Bee? Is that you?” He stared at me for an instant and raised himself to kiss me. I grabbed hold of his face and met his lips. I lay in the snow, drowning in his arousal, ecstatic we’d shoved the bitch back into her place. Because taking over White Peak hadn’t been enough, now she threatened to open a portal and dominate all of Haven? What next? Declare herself a goddess? Yep, nothing like having a deranged psycho living insideme.
Our bodies bonded, burned up, fit perfectly asone.
“I thought I lost you,” Imanaged.
“Me too.” His voice grew raspy and dark, as if he still fought the change. Our foreheads touched, and I kissed his chilled lips once more. I let out a whimper as he rolled me on top of him and kissed me down my neck. His hands groped my ass, and I mewled. The fiery desire ignited between my legs, but this was the wrong time andplace.
I pulled away, battling to fill my lungs despite the arousal pulling me to Raze. “We can’t do this here,” Ibreathed.
The corners of Raze’s eyes wrinkled and with a low grunt in his throat, he got up and yanked me to my feet. His hand looped around my back in a hug. He trembled against me,naked.
I pulled off my cloak and offered it tohim.
He accepted the clothing with no hesitation and threw it over his shoulders, drawing the ribbon at his neck. “How long will the effect last?” he asked, his teethchattering.
“No idea. But we must find Talin before he hurts someone orhimself.”
“He’s in the forest with us, attacking anything that moves. He hasn’t bolted home like before. Could it be because we’re within the magic object in the duke’shouse?”
“Maybe.” I swallowed the boulder in my throat, unable to calm my breathing. Or the terror leaching to my lungs. The constant shivers racing up and down my spine with the goddess’s warning. The nightmare we’d landedin.
“We have a day to get Talin under control and wait for Rek to return before the full moon tomorrow night.” Without waiting, Raze took my hand and hauled me up the steep slope with such strength and mobility—his agility impressedme.
