- 4 She frowned at her thoughts. As a natural-born vampire, she couldn't lie to others. If an untruth arose in her thoughts and the impulse to use it fired in her mind, she would become violently ill. No, Emma couldn't lie to others, but she'd always had
- 5 Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s seemed fuller. Her ears were uncovered in public, with only her long, freed hair to conceal them. She felt as though she'd gone out without a bra - she felt a little...naughty. When the sudden urge came to taste her lips, she did. He c

- 7 The memory of his damp body so warm against hers flashed in her mind. She regretted giving that up, a realization that made her even angrier.He sat stiffly in his seat, his body tense, as she dialed up her "Angry Female Rock" playlist."What is that?"
- 8 "All this to recapture her?" Annika asked. Myst the Coveted, considered the most beautiful Valkyrie, had been under his power. She'd escaped when the vampire rebels took his castle. That situation always enraged Annika. Indiscretions between Myst and
- 9 "And you doona count yourself among that number? Even after tonight?"She nibbled her lip, recalling how she'd licked his tan, smooth skin as she'd taken his exquisite blood, and briefly lost her train of thought. "I just don't understand why you wa

- 12 "It's true, and I'll tell you of it another time. Right now, I canna think of it. I've got only four days, four nights, to convince Emma to stay with me.""She doesn't want to stay?""No, no' at all." A vague memory of her trembling in the showe
- 13 He cupped her face, stroking her cheek with his thumb. His voice sounding rough, he said, "La.s.s, if I have you here for such a short time, I doona want to quarrel with you. For now, let me show you Kinevane." He rose to cross to the thick curtains, o
- 14 Bowe turned away, but not before he felt his face leached of color. In a voice barely discernible, he said, "I...buried her." He had, and he knew she was gone. But he also knew the Lore couldn't be predicted and the rules were often fluid. He now spen

- 16 Bowe put his hand on Lachlain's shoulder. "Ca.s.s would no' dare hurt her after you made your wishes clear. I'll get rid of Ca.s.s and then talk to Emma. It canna hurt.""No, Bowe, you might...frighten her.""Oh, aye." Bowe raised his eyebrows, mo
- 17 "Do you like it? I never knew what you would prefer and guessed again and again."Her gaze followed it as it swung like a pendulum. This was proof that she was going loopy, and yet she still had an inward evil grin. "I'll be sure to wear it in front o
- 18 You're his kind now, her mind whispered. No! She wouldn't give in.A Lykae mate would've let herself be caught. Would be waiting for him, naked and spread in the gra.s.s or leaning back against a tree, hips offered up and arms overhead, reveling in the

- 21 Emma spotted Kaderin behind Lachlain, sword in place. "Kaderin," she murmured. "Annika sent you?" Kaderin was a deadly, skilled, and unfeeling a.s.sa.s.sin. A perfect killing machine, she didn't get dispatched on recovery mission
- 22 "Ah, but now you remember his torment?"She nodded slowly. One of them was about to die. Was she prolonging the conversation to learn answers to questions that had plagued her? Or to live a little longer? Why was he complying?"Imagine ten t
- 23 Lachlain needed to kill them all, but needed to get back to Emma more.He escaped into the sun, never so glad to see a cloudless sky.Emma knew the cost.She'd wakened, having dreamed of people pouring blood down her throat, but she couldn't hold

- 32 "Leave me!" Conrad bellowed, straining against his bonds so hard the manacles cut into his wrists.Murdoch was baffled by this sudden change in his brother after two weeks of gradual - some would say plodding - improvement. He hesitated, contemp

- 34 "Murdoch used to say that women are like bottles of liquor - sample them, savor them, then discard them," Rurik drunkenly declared, his eye patch crooked.More vampires had joined in the gaming, and they all laughed. Yet Rurik's words sound
- 35 Murdoch fell upon her, pressing her into the wall as he sank his fangs deeper into the sweet flesh of her neck. The cold pained him, so badly he nearly released her, but soon blood wet his mouth. The taste... He growled against her, the pleasure was so i
- 36 So this is Icergard, Danii thought as Jadian gave her the grand tour of the castle the next day. I'm definitely getting a Fortress of Solitude vibe.When she'd awakened, sharp-eared Icere maids had smiled shyly as they laid out a gown of the soft
- 37 "Nikolai!"Stoic Nikolai looked flabbergasted. Then he shot to his feet, tracing to the cell door. "Conrad?" he called back."He's come here?" Sebastian bit out. "How did he get free from those manacles?"Murdoch
- 38 "Because you bit her," Nix told him before he'd spoken a word.While he'd been wasting precious time determining how to evade the cloud of wraiths and storm Val Hall, they'd suddenly parted for Nix as she'd casually strolled f

- 41 Though they'd been together for months, Murdoch was anxious with Daniela, determined to make this perfect for her.Since she'd waited more than twenty lifetimes for it.And he'd noticed that she hadn't replied when he said he wanted to
- 42 When Danii licked her lips and pressed him back on the bed, his expression wavered between excited - and agonized.And the seducer might even be nervous.Kneeling between his legs, her palms flat against his chest, she kissed down his torso, nuzzling the tr
- 43 "If I could kiss you, I don't think I'd ever stop," Daniela had told him all those months ago. Now they could and she didn't stop - for hours, they lazily kissed and touched.So this is utter contentment. Murdoch had never known
- 44 "What do you want with me, Mariketa?" Conrad Wroth said as he traced with his wife into Andoain's great hall.As soon as Mari had been able to locate them - a feat in itself - she'd asked them here to meet with her and Bowen. "I n

- 47 When silence fell over the crowd, Carrow glanced up from her grappling - powers bound - catfight with Sabine. Immortals were backing away from her in a wave.That's right, I'm bringing the rain! "Rydstrom, d.a.m.n you, just trace me to the
- 48 Though Malkom and Carrow still had much to discuss with the immortals downstairs, he couldn't be easy until he saw Ruby with his own eyes. Carrow had told him, "She freaked out, shrieking for you. I mean, I knew you'd made an impression, b

- 51 "Romantic? It was to mark the end of our relations.h.i.+p. Keep her at Val Hall forever, if you like." "Oh, no. She's gone. Whereabouts unknown." His gut tightened. The cloaking tattoo around her ankle had faded with her transfor

- 55 Lothaire teleported to Mt. Oblak, the Forbearer seat, and unsheathed his sword. Half-tracing into the Gravewalkers chambers, all but invisible, he found Kristoff gazing out the open window, his sand-colored hair blowing in the breeze.The males dark blue
- 56 She bit her bottom lip as she thought about his museum. She’d probably found the other half of her unbreakable bond, and she’d kind of destroyed all his things. Maybe she should tell him about her telekinesis? He interrupted her thoughts: “You’re way, way
- 57 “Oh, that will never happen.” “Why are you so confident?” Her eyes flickered, her irises black as night. “Because I’m going to kill her.”THIRTY-TWO I admire your optimism, but she trounced you.” Rune hit that flask again. “She amused herself with you.” “O
- 58 “What’s the big deal?” “Say I returned here in five seconds with the Valkyrie’s head and your brother safely in tow. All your problems would be solved. Yet because you didn’t accompany me, you wouldn’t be able to drink blood—ever. The vow would prevent yo

- 61 Her eyes went wide. “You shut the f.u.c.k up, Ruin.” G.o.ds, she was s.e.xy when p.i.s.sed. “I wasn’t jesting about tanning your a.s.s, little girl.” Picturing that got his demon in a lather. She gave a haughty laugh. “Try it, old man.”Her defiance . . .
- 62 “I lived in the Elserealms most of my life. I visit Gaia. I’ve only been to Australia and America.” “How are we going to travel? I don’t have a pa.s.sport.” She couldn’t take a plane. Couldn’t even copy a page out of Nïx’s book and take a boat. Not that s

- 64 She jutted her chin. “Three.” He laughed. “Three? Yet more evidence you were raised among monks.” He again muttered, “Three,” as if that were the punch line of a joke. “How long has it been?” “A while.” What would he think if she told him she’d only had s
- 65 His wrist rune still showed no alert from the nymphs at Val Hall. Until Nïx was in residence, the wraiths were a secondary concern. . . . Josephine had stopped in her tracks, forcing him to turn around. “What?” “Slighted? Spread the love? I go through cyc
- 66 Rune’s jaw slackened. Deshazior couldn’t dip his head fast enough. “Woman, make me dreams come true!” “That’s enough,” Rune cut in. “We’re running out of time.” They were in no way running out of time.“Rain check?” Josephine asked. Voice gone low, Deshazi
- 68 Which had nothing to do with the fact that—in the heat of the moment—he’d thought of her as his. THIRTY-EIGHT Ye think she’ll be hunted?” Desh said to Rune. “I’d like to see who could catch her.”d.a.m.n straight, Jo thought. With malice in his gaze, Rune
- 69 He’d drawn that on her! She wanted to know what each rune meant. To re-create them. “Will that speed up your healing process?” He nodded. “Necessary because my partner has delayed us.” In a surly tone, he said, “I reacquainted myself with curative combina
- 70 Despite his unease, he yearned to kiss her quiet. “I want to be on top of you.” She s.h.i.+mmied around him, holding on to the chain with the crook of a finger. “All you have to do is whisper promises in my ear.” She made no secret she wanted more from Ru
- 71 She walked her fingers up his chest, twining her hands behind his neck. “My dark fey’s protecting me again?” He dragged his gaze to her face. “It wouldn’t be the first time. I did try to safeguard you below.” “You were so fast against Des.h.!.+ And you’re
- 72 Earlier, they’d reached the summit and explored, then cased the teahouse. He’d detected no sign of Nïx, no lingering Valkyrie scent. They’d beaten her here. Most of the humans were dispersing—leaving a few couples and the occasional night climbers with he

- 74 “I visit on occasion. But Tenebrous—the home of the Møriør—has been very far from Gaia and its planes. Tracing that distance can be demanding, even for immortals our age. The realm is moving closer as we speak, but still takes days to get there.” “Realms
- 75 That’d probably be a trip to see. “And the red arrows?” “I’ve dipped the arrowheads in my poison. Most Loreans won’t survive even that dose.” “Who was the last person you a.s.sa.s.sinated?”“A descendant of that queen. Before I killed Magh, I swore I’d sta

- 77 At eleven years old. Though she was only twenty-five, she’d experienced more shock and uncertainty than some immortals who’d lived for centuries. “That same day, I slit the a.s.shole’s throat.” Already dead. Pity. “Go on.”“When his blood sprayed, it hit m
- 79 She rose in the waist-deep water taking her time to join him, loving the view. Molten gaze eating her alive, he started to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e his big c.o.c.k for her. “You want to take this between your lips,” he rasped, his tongue daubing his own. “You

- 81 With each foot closer to his target, Rune grew more enraged. Tonight she would die. Her long immortal life would end. Yet even in the midst of his fury, he kept thinking of the mysterious male in the dungeon. Rune could tell Orion hadn’t wanted to f.u.c.k
- 82 When he’d worked his fingers inside her, telling her how badly he wanted his c.o.c.k to replace them, she’d wanted it too. After her dreams, she didn’t know if he would ever commit to her, mate or not, considering what he’d suffered in the past. But she d

- 84 Her body responded as if he’d touched it. He continued to make comments about her supposed infatuation, but she felt like they were destined. How to convince him? If he’d just commit to her, she’d sleep with him, and then his seal would break, proving wha
- 85 Namely Saetthan’s bounty hunters. Rune expected at least a hundred of them. Despite their similar ages, Saetthan would never fight Rune one on one. As a full fey, Saetthan was faster; Rune’s demon half made him stronger. It’d be a good fight if Saetthan h

- 88 Rune’s hand dipped to his quiver. He’d wanted a fair fight; Saetthan had targeted his woman. All bets were off. His fingertips brushed the flights of one-and-done. He’d string it among four poison arrows. Those would hit lower; the guards would dive and t
- 89 She craned her head up. Had she ever seen so many stars? They glimmered like beacons. “You approve?” She lowered her gaze to take in just as riveting a sight: Rune grinning. He knew he’d blown her mind.From his pack, he drew a thick blanket and spread it
- 90 “Your first meeting with Orion. And I saw a battle—it seemed from long ago—where you were all fighting together.” “Have you seen me sleeping with others?” She shook her head, admitting, “But I saw you tortured in that brothel.”His gaze slid away. “Once I
- 91 She nodded. “I float through the bed into the ground. When I come to, I’m basically in a grave. Why shouldn’t I fear going the other way? And those stars seem to call to me.” “You never did that during the past two weeks.” “It only happens when I’m filled
- 92 He c.o.c.ked a brow. “Smarta.s.s.” “Seriously, what’s up with the one-eighty?” He shrugged. “Changed my mind.”Awww. He was skittish about such a drastic change. After countless centuries of sameness . . . It was up to her to drag him to the finish line. S
- 93 Her back bowed, her pierced t.i.ts slipping across his sweating chest. She screamed, “Rune!” Her core clenched his rod, her wet flesh quivering around it. He s.n.a.t.c.hed her nape, forcing her to meet his gaze. “You’re mine now! Belong to me. . . .” A gr
- 94 He eased down, giving each of her nipples a ruthless suck, making her moan. Then he pulled out to the tip and slammed his big c.o.c.k home. “Ah! So tight.” Another shove. He watched her t.i.ts bounce with obvious delight. Another thrust. “I just came, an
- 95 And without the Møriør, his quest for vengeance could fail. He’d been so close to taking Saetthan out, but the p.r.i.c.k had escaped him. Destroying that royal sword had only whetted Rune’s appet.i.te for retribution. He would stay the course, refusing to

- 97 “You would choose your job over your mate?” He dropped his hand. “I am choosing to remain myself. My mate should try to understand why that matters to me!” “This is your plan B? The one you had in place before you screwed me last night?”“Yes, I’ve known I
- 98 After looking at the half-dressed Meliai, she could honestly say, “Yes, Rune the Insatiable. Yes, I do.” If he screwed the redhead, Jo was done forever. She was about to lose him, just when she’d found him. Her claws decided to dig into his hand. “I’ll re

- 100 Rune glanced back at her one last time before turning a corner. She could get another lover, but she couldn’t get another Rune. SIXTYDalli stopped Rune and Meliai in the corridor. “What in the G.o.ds’ names are you doing?” He flicked his hand at Meliai. “
- 101 Because right now his heart was cold ash. If he did this, would he extinguish what Josephine felt for him? She’d seen his memories and had accepted his past—until tonight. “You’re going to be a wh.o.r.e again, only this time there’ll be no excuse for it.
- 102 She’s me, and I’m her. What if she never wanted to darken her blood again? He would recognize her little bite anywhere—in a way, it was like his claiming mark. If he encountered one of her lovers and saw it . . . He ground his fangs. She didn’t have to fe
- 103 Desh bent down to her ear to yell, “Sure ye have this, little luv?” Remembering her last meeting with Nïx, Jo stifled the urge to rub her arms and nodded. “Gotta warn ye, smells like they’ve got an army in there.” Since Jo had been here earlier (who knew
