My eyebrow arched higher.
“It was the best way to force my power into you.”
“By forcing a bond on me?” I asked, clarifying his statement. Because he’d bitten several times, ensuring we were fully mated.
Ajax bristled. “It’s not like I wanted to do it.”
My eyes narrowed, my mind instantly interpreting his desires from his thoughts. “That’s a lie, Warden.”
His jaw clenched. “We’ll discuss it later.”
“We will,” I agreed.
With that, I granted him full access to my thoughts, feelings, history, and everything else I could.
Because I didn’t mind this mating at all. What I did mind was his lie about not wanting it.
However, as he’d said,we’d discuss it later.
The blue outline in his eyes seemed to pulse, nearly overwhelming his mostly black irises. I saw myself in that color change, my power obviously having claimed him as mine, too.
Good.
He needed the energy boost. We all did. “Let’s go find Camillia.”
I didn’t wait for agreement, just flared my wings to take off, and froze when I felt the feathery sensation at my back.
“Ty,” Melek gasped, his eyes widening at what I could already feel.
No more embers or burnt strands. Just a full set of black plumes with golden tips.Camillia… healed my wings.
I had no idea how that was possible. But I felt it in my very soul. She’d pulled me out of some sort of web, untangled me from Vivaxia’s influence, and set my soul free.
Except, no. It was so much deeper than that.
It’s my Source.
Camillia was… changing everything.
Rewriting my power. My realm. Crafting a new balance, one free from Vivaxia’s creative control.
You’ll never touch these fae again,I heard her thinking, her mental voice a kiss to my fucking spirit.They’re under our protection now.
Our,I repeated, curious about that term.
And everything stopped.Typhos,Camillia breathed.I…
Don’t stop,I urged her.Don’t you fucking dare stop, Camillia De la Croix. Keep cleansing the realm. Keep saving us all.
I could swear I heard her heart skip a beat at my words, could feel the sweat perspiring down her spine. Couldtasteher confusion.
But perhaps most importantly of all, I could hear her resolution. Her determination. Herpower.
It hit my senses with the force of a thousand suns, burning me alive inside and out. And I fucking bathed in that light. Inher. In her power. Her presence. Hereverything.
Gods, that feels fucking amazing,I told her.Keep going.
A shiver of pleasure traveled through our new bond—a bond that I didn’t fully understand but absolutely supported.
