Page 126 of The Omega's Bloodlinem: Part Two

I screamed, draining my own power to break the shackle at his throat and reached for the next.

I felt each bolt of panic in the bond as my own core depleted, and the chains began to consume from my lovers, snaring them in order of my bonding. Seth had nothing left to give, so it wrenched at the heart of Yelena and my lioness went dark in the bond.

Was she unconscious? Dead?

The chains drank from Haru next, and I tried to reach out, to reassure them, but I wasn’t strong enough to reach them right now.

I tore apart another shackle, but two still remained.

It wasn’t fair.

We didn’t have enough.

The world wavered, my body too close to its own death.

“Please. I’m trying to help.”

Godric, this cursed man, offered me no response beyond his incoherent shrieking. Fiona had destroyed him, and dammit, I was going to put him back together if I could. I reached for the shackle around his ankle, fighting him trying to destroy me and managing my own panic as Haru vanished just like Yelena, Velda following much too quickly.

The metal crumbled in my fingertips.

Kendrick wouldn’t be enough.

I still had to try.

My stag disappeared and I let out an anguished wail.

It would all be for nothing.

Caden, I can’t do it. I’m so sorry. Please tell them.

Tell them yourself.

Ileft the others with Seth and threw myself into the writhing shadow. My fingertips brushed Logan. Nothing was stopping me anymore. Whatever risk Rachel might pose was nothing compared to watching the love of my life die in front of me.

I’ve always been yours. I drove my fangs into her throat and pressed my hand between her lips, dragging my skin over her little omega fangs.Bite.

She did so, weakly, but it was enough.

Logan burst like a star in my chest, and immediately the hook of the magic drain snared into me.

Fucking fuck.

Even knowing I was sentencing myself to losing everything, being part of Logan for a brief moment, feeling the cascade of love that thundered down the bond from her to me, was worth it. I’d felt it from the outside thousands of times, seen the way her eyes lit up for me, heard her sweet sighs and needy whines, melted under her touch, but this was different. Magic or not, she filled me up from the inside out, bathing every cell in my body with her affection, fear, and hope.

The creature sucked me dry, replacing my magic with ice so cold I couldn’t stop my scream against Logan’s skin.

A soft brush of starlight touched my face, and when I opened my eyes, I was in the sacred forest.Godric is waiting, dear one.

My gaze slid behind her to where Logan was struggling with a bound man. Without a second thought, I leapt toward them, shoving her away from him. “Don’t you fucking touch her.”

He had no life in his obsidian eyes, only a vicious hunger, but he had a brief second of clarity before he lunged for me with a low growl. “Mine.”

“Caden!”

“Keep going,” I ordered, trying to fend him off from taking a bite out of me.

“My blood,” he hissed. “Helpme.”
