He swallowed the rest of the words.
She’d broken his windpipe.
I couldn’t leave without him.
“I’m ready to bargain, aunt,” I snarled.
“Withdraw your magic now,” she ordered.
I pulled my White Light back, but still shielded my mates, including Elvey, though my shield hadn’t protected him.
Tianna let out an inaudible breath of relief, and I realized that she hadn’t known whether my magic could take her down eventually. She didn’t know my strength and the depth of my magic, and she didn’t intend to find out.
She wasn’t familiar with my kind of magic, but she feared it.
“You want Elvey, don’t you?” Tianna asked.
“Sever the blood bond between the two of you,” I said in a tight voice.
Elvey watched us, his expression unreadable, though pain carved deep lines on his face.
“Will you pay the price?” asked the evil queen.
I narrowed my burning eyes. “I’ll pay any price.”
“Any price, you say?” she purred, and a repulsed shiver crawled over my skin.
I stared at her blankly, not wanting to show any more emotion than I could help. Even the slightest hatred in my eyes would give her satisfaction.
“I want your three dragon consorts,” she said, lust sparkling in her cat-green eyes.

Wrath rained down in me. I’d slice open the bitch and slowly cut her heart to pieces.
Sphinx’s warning rang through my head. “Gain the first and lose the last. Keep the last, and the first will be shattered bones.”
It always came to this—my choice, but I wouldn’t choose.
How could I trade my three mates for Elvey? If I didn’t, Tianna would shatter every bone in his body. I was trapped in a nightmare I couldn’t escape.
Elvey’s gaze was full of agony. He had no voice, but he managed to shake his head. He didn’t want me to choose him over my mates. He’d rather endure every ounce of pain she inflicted on him.
“Your beloved Elvey can’t even die,” Tianna said. “He’s tried to break the blood bond to me for a millennium, but all he’s gotten has been pain. You can end his suffering. All you need to do is to play a final game, answer to my challenge, and offer me your dragons. You’ve already fucked them, so they’re no longer novelty to you. But you haven’t fucked Elvey. He was mind-blowing in bed, even though he imagined I was you.”
“Watch your mouth, bitch!” Rai snarled.
Blaze and Iokul shifted to their human forms and gathered around me.
Tianna was ready to snap a finger and break another bone in Elvey.
“What’s the game, Tianna?” Iokul asked with interest.
He wanted to play? I sent Iokul a sharp look, as did his brothers.
“It doesn’t matter what the game is,” Blaze spat. “The cunt will never have us.”
“Boys, you’re rude, but I love it when you talk dirty,” Tianna said. “What if I tell you that if you agree to play, I’ll lift the last piece of your curse and you no longer need to wear that dreadful mask on your handsome faces anymore?”
