“I’ve given you my heart,” Ash said, placing a palm on hischest.
The ragged beating of my pulse rattled me. My heart iced over, feeling as chilled as an iceberg. They had no right to say those things, not now, not when anything could happen. I’d prefer to think they showed me the affection to keep their beasts at bay, nothing else. That I could live with… but having all four of them stare at me with admiration and admitting their emotions were deeper and waiting for me respond… It was toomuch.
My throat thickened, unable to take enough air into my lungs.Goddess, help me!Agony squeezed my stomach with invisible claws. I needed to say something, give my farewells should shit flysideways.
A chorus of shouting carried on the wind from the front of thecastle.
I shuddered, my thoughts flying to Rek’s family sending an army after us. Had they found the body and were coming for revenge? I had no idea who shouted? We were already in danger from the curse, let alone someone else coming forus.
“What the fuck was that?” Raze didn’t wait for a response and vanished around the castle. Leven took the other side, along withTalin.
Ash grabbed my arm, his fast breaths screaming dread, and he dragged me toward the stairs, leading us through the reardoors.
But a surge of power sizzled through me as if someone had punched me. I gasped and folded over, my knees buckling out from under me, my arm falling loose from Ash’sgrip.
Pain seared through me and burned down to my hands, as if I’d thrust them into a fire. I screamed as the agony increased inwaves.
Energy crackled across my fingers like barbed wire whipping myhands.
My heart clanged against my breastbone, and fear engulfed me, knocking all thoughtsaside.
Bee!Lilita’s voice reverberated in my skull over and over in a maddening chant. My nightmare had justawakened.
