The wind whipped playfully around me, and somehow I knew she was still there, curious to see how things ended.
Goddesses never leave or die. They just transfer, reincarnating their power into the next place it’s needed.
I found that I was no longer frightened of the steps to come, either. I could make it through anything now - through death, through the mist, and through rebirth, all because of this new magic.
The crunch of footsteps on snow brought me to my feet, turning in a full circle before I spotted him.
“Rush,” I breathed, running and crashing into his open arms and nuzzling against his warmth as he held me close. “How did you-”
“I followed your energy, love. It’s impossible to miss now that you’re a Goddess,” he added, looking down at me with those mesmerizing turquoise and molten gold eyes. His dark green skin and pointy ears were on proud display, and I pulled his mouth down to mine, needing the connection of touch and love and pleasure.
“I’m so glad you came,” I whispered against his lips.
“I will always come for you.”
“Be myaima, then?” I begged, knowing this was the right time, even though neither of us had discussed it.
“As you wish - I’ve long dreamed of the day I could call you my mate,” he answered, his voice deeper and rough with need. “But there isn’t much time. Merden is crazed with the idea that she’s already won. The next match is this afternoon.”
“I’ll let you off the multiple-orgasm hook for now, fae, but don’t get lazy on me,” I teased, yanking him down into the snow. I’d taken my time with Kas, but claiming anaimacould happen in an instant as well. Sliding a knife from my belt, I opened a place on my neck for him to suck. “Take my blood, Lachlan of Aralia. Drink me deep into your veins, and I’ll claim you as my own.”
He lowered his lips to the welling blood, and a moan of pleasure dragged from deep in my belly as he sucked hard at my magic. Burying my fangs in his neck, we fed from each other like animals. The snow whirled around us as my new magic dipped and twirled, playing in its own freedom without my direction.
“I must have you at least once,” Rush growled, tearing desperately at my leather armor. I shoved him away and made quick work of it, crying out as he pounced on me and pressed the tip of his pierced cock to my core. “By the Goddess, you’re so wet for me,” he snarled, his eyes rolling back in his head as I locked my knees around his back and drew his cock all the way in me.
“Hard and fast, fae. Race you,” I hissed before digging my fangs back into his neck.
“Not... fucking fair,” he gasped as the pleasure from my bite rocked him hard. But he took up the challenge, rutting against me with delicious little swivels of his hips that rubbed my clit from above and below, all at once.
“Those piercings, fucking hell,” I moaned, feeling him everywhere and loving every tiny slide of our bodies together. He bent his mouth to my skin, lapping at the stream of blood that was trickling down my neck, and I reveled in the magic binding us together.
Claiming a fae as myaimafelt different, but the twining of his golden energy magic and my silvery, ice blue power around us was a beauty I’d never imagined. I knew this would become another facet of my power - another way to share Khione’s magicwith my men. Not just through theaimabond, but through sharing pleasure and energy.
“Come with me, Kana,” Rush breathed in my ear, and it was as though he’d taken my hand and thrown us both off the edge of a cliff. I fell with him into the well of pleasure we’d created together, and I felt a flash of his prophetic power as my mind imagined our future, whole and happy.
“I’ll always be with you, Rush,” I murmured, kissing the words into his skin as we held each other almost too tightly to breathe.
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
KASSIAN
Everything was happening too fucking fast.
All of our plans were going to shit, and I had no idea what to do next. My mind was on an endless loop, replaying the moment when Kana had fuckingsurrendered.
It was like I didn’t even know her at all. My ownaima, and I’d never seen that coming.
Of course, I was happy she hadn’t chosen to sacrifice someone she loved. I just had never expected her to lose to Merden. My girl had been beaten, and even if the Queen had cheated with all that blood magic, that was a reality I just couldn’t get past.
“It’s up to us, now,” Luca said, striding into Kana’s rooms. Even without her, we had all still gathered here, except the fae. Rush had disappeared in the chaos of the crowd, but Cade was in a stupor, staring at the floor in disbelief. Vento followed Luca inside and locked the door.
“The next match is in a few hours,” he said, and I shrugged.
“Good. Let’s get this the hell over.”
“Nicolas came to me in the mist just now. Kana is in the woods. She’s fine. She’ll be back.” The wolf spoke with gruff, short words, like he was trying to be all fucking business.
“Of course, she’ll be back. Where the hell would she go?” I snapped.
