“That stupid name for her came from your house in the first place!” Silas snarled.
I plummeted to the ground like a burned phoenix that had no wings anymore. Silas and Louis both lunged toward me, but the shifter prince caught me first, and Louis growled.
“I gotcha, Barbie,” Silas said.
“But she’s burning up!” Louis shouted beside me, his hand on my forearm.
Cade was at my side in a blink, feeling my neck with his finger. “Her pulse is very weak. We need to?—”
“Clear a path!” Rowan roared.
As I struggled at the edge of unconsciousness, I tried and failed to smile at the princes and my friends. I was thankful that they had survived. They were alive.
But my relief was short-lived.
A portal opened in the sky before we reached the end of the bridge. A new death squad poured out.
The cheers of victory died on everyone’s lips.
The princes were all injured, and I didn’t have a drop of energy or power left. The Seed of Heaven had reclaimed me, tormenting my every cell. Sy lay coiled in a corner, fighting not to pass out again.
“Save…yourself… Let me be taken…” I managed to tell the princes.
“Never!” Silas said.
“Please do it,” I begged.
If they refused, they’d all die.
We got this, Barbie! Pucker had returned. Help has come!
A roar from a pissed-off dragon thundered, so powerful and full of rage that it rattled my bones. Everyone on the battlefield froze in apprehension.
I smiled. Killian had come.
I could rest now. I could sink into oblivion, as I was bone tired. I hadn’t saved the day, but I’d bought enough time for the chaos prince to save it.
Lightning and starlight surged toward the open portal in the sky, the mightiest I’d ever seen. Several Brotherhood soldiers plummeted into the river, and the raging water swept their corpses away.
The next moment, Killian reached my side. He held my dimmed gaze and squeezed my hand to assure me that he’d protect me before nodding at Silas. The shifter prince didn’t argue and reluctantly handed me to Rock, who had fought his way to our side.
Now Rock was responsible for carrying me, as he had a lot more experience than others in that department.
“Brothers, will we guard what’s ours?” Killian roared.
“Always!” the other princes roared back.
“You have to ask, asshole?” Silas snarled. “And you’re late, as usual.”
Killian ignored him and called, “Let’s end this, shall we?”
All five princes held hands in a circle, their powers merging. Lightning, light, wind, fire, and ice formed a vortex, shooting toward the legion reinforcements. The enemies dropped like locusts before the portal sealed.
The last sight I saw was the raging river crashing into the ivory tower.
You’ve gone soft, Barbie. Sy gazed out weakly, her golden eyes alighting on the fae prince. Our foes will know your weakness now. You care too much. And you feel too much. It is starting to rub off on me.
We’re two peas in a pod, I offered before darkness took me over like a vast blanket.
