The Origin of the ValkyrieInto the blood-splattered snow, the lone warrior fell to one knee and shuddered with weakness. Still, an arm shot out to raise a sword against the oncoming legion.Her dented breastplate swallowed her small form.The winds howled,
- 121 “I was angry when I said that.” “You should’ve been. I was an a.s.s. I’d continued to view myself as I’d been in the past. It didn’t matter how much I’d accomplished or how far I’d climbed, I couldn’t see my own worth.” He rubbed a hand over his tired fac
- 120 Catching her grip? “Why didn’t you let me go? I know how scared of heights you are.” He drew back. “I will never let you go.” He cradled her face in his hands. “Wherever you were headed—I don’t give a f.u.c.k—that’s where I want to be as well.” He’d been
- 119 “I failed to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Valkyrie. And now I can never kill her.” “Thousands have tried. None would have succeeded.” Rune faced him. “Then why dispatch me?”Orion kept his gaze ahead, as if scanning for something. “We fail; we learn. Unless we fail
- 118 MizB had swallowed helplessly. Hey, she’d invited Jo here. Let the right one in, MizB. The woman had asked them to take out the freaking garbage first, then had the nerve to call, “Make good choices. . . .”Day two, Gram had implemented a cuss jar. She’d t
- 117 Rune had seldom questioned what his liege did, believing Orion had cause for all his actions. Now his first instinct was to confront Orion. But if the Undoing had targeted Apparitia, it must have been for a reason. What if he’d planned to a.s.sa.s.sinate
- 116 What the h.e.l.ls? SEVENTY Our mother was so brave and selfless,” Thad finally said. He’d gone quiet once Jo had finished her story. “I’ve seen her face in your memories. You take after her.”Jo’s brows drew together. “Thank you.” She gauged his expression
- 115 No kidding. “She lives in the city?” “For now. I can’t wait for you to meet her. She won’t be p.i.s.sed that you attacked Val Hall since she used to fight against the Valkyries on occasion.” He sipped his blood. “She’d heard a dark fey male was in town, a
- 114 Confusion. “Like tell you . . . about my day?” Had anyone ever asked her to do this? “I broke up with my boyfriend. He’s probably my mate—I’m definitely his.” “Is breaking up with a mate even possible?” All things were possible in the Lore! “Yep. He could
- 113 Do? Besides slowly dying, desperate to see you every day? And getting my heart broken by Rune? “This and that.” “Are you married?” MizB asked. “All by my lonesome.” Jo propped her boots on the coffee table. The woman wisely said nothing. “You never staye
- 112 “Watch yourself, witch.” “Were you ever unselfish with her? Do anything kind for her?” He’d taken Josephine to a fey ball. In order to get laid. He’d romanced her. To secure her for the Møriør. He’d healed her from a fight. That she would’ve recovered fro
- 111 “Uh, not ghosting so much. More on the vamp side of things. Let’s just say she discovered I drink blood.” His cheeks flushed. “How long you been drinking?” “Only a few weeks. You?”“Since I was eleven.” He looked like he was about to ask more on that sore
- 110 —We flee like cowards now?— Allixta said as Darach growled. But those two couldn’t trace, had no choice but to come. With one hand, Allixta grabbed Rune. With her other, she seized one of Curses’ whiskers in her fist. —Fine!— —We’ll return,— Blace said.
- 109 The lightning bolts around Nïx flared and expanded. “I’ll never let that arrow hit the ground. I’ll deflect it with my lightning—or my very body.” —Can she do this?— Blace asked. Rune said, —Yes.—“And if you kill me,” Nïx continued, “your poor mate won’t
- 108 Blace shook his head. —We need to find Rune’s mate. Nïx will know.— The vampire was siding with him on this? Though Darach revered matehood, he said, —Shoot. Find mate later.— —Find? So easily, then?— Blace scowled. —Says the male who’s never lost anythin
- 107 The boy’s eyes darted. “Who the h.e.l.l are you?” As soon as Thad had figured out Josephine’s ident.i.ty, he’d gone from attacking to protecting her. “I’m her mate,” Rune rasped. “Give her to me.” When the other Møriør flanked Rune—in battle positions—Tha
- 106 “Nooo, Kierra! Save your power!” The black holes grew hungrier, sucking at Kierra’s legs. Her instinct clamored for her to become intangible. But she wasn’t old enough yet. “Just try to reach a portal!” Mother shook her head, her dark hair streaming all a
- 105 “Phoenix feather. To take out the Scourge.” He plucked another arrow from his quiver, one he’d refas.h.i.+on with the feather. Must be straight and true. “Val Hall is filled with what smells like an army of beings. I might need cover.” “Count us in,” Sian
- 104 “About her surrendering—” “The baneblood broke our deal!” Meliai cried, storming into the barroom. The crowd began to quiet. “Instead of bartering, he robbed me of a treasured possession! He threatened me and the entire covey!” “Is that true?” Dalli asked
- 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
- 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
- 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.
- 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. “
- 99 “Monogamy?” He gave a bitter laugh. “There’s obviously no reasoning with you, because you’re too young to see the bigger picture. You like to keep things simple? Sometimes life isn’t simple.” “It won’t bother you when your mate takes advantage of our open
- 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
- 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
- 96 Eyes watchful, Rune yelled to Jo, “Is he here?” She barely heard him. She had to yell back, “Here!” She’d already caught Thad’s scent coming from the manor. Rune waved at her. Ladies first, he mouthed. Let’s see what you’ve got.She nodded, starting to gho
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 87 “If you give me room, I’ll return to you within minutes.” Nearby guests made outraged sounds as hunters elbowed their way toward the dance floor. The orchestra went quiet, one instrument at a time. A hush fell over the ballroom. The wiser attendees disper

- 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

- 83 Rune spoke tons of languages, and if he drew that Darklight bow, creatures quaked. He was more well-known on other dimensions than on the mortal plane, and he seemed to like it that way. Oftentimes, Jo and Rune had been forced to delay their travel, waiti
- 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
- 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
- 80 He needed to bite her. Sink his demon fangs into her pale phantom flesh. Possess her. Be inside her body. Own her.When she jerked against her hand, and his length m.u.f.fled her scream, he yelled, “I can’t hold out!” She was o.r.g.a.s.ming with his d.i.c.
- 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
- 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
- 76 He swallowed. Boo-yah. “Hadn’t thought about it that way, huh?” “You truly believe you’re mine?”“Yep.” He stared her down. “I guarantee you’re not.” She nodded with understanding. “Because I’m Desh’s? I guess I could have my dream date with him.” Rune gro
- 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
- 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
- 73 This was really happening! After sunset, they’d taken a few minutes to return to Tortua and her motel for warmer clothes. She’d placed that emptied jug on her table beside the groom’s cufflinks. With her new memento, she would remember the day she’d spent
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 63 With no city lights, the stars appeared so much brighter. After that memory flash during the fight with Nïx, would Jo ever look at them the same way? She was growing convinced the answers to her past resided in the stars. “Ahead is the covey.” Rune pointe
- 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
- 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 . . .
- 59 “Her Valkyrie sisters. They’re likely coddling him, convincing him to join their alliance.” In other words, they were brainwas.h.i.+ng her brother. “There has to be a way around those wraiths.” If tracing past them wouldn’t work, ghosting and walking righ
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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

- 52 In the streets below, screams rang out. Thunder rocked the entire kingdom, echoing until rubble quaked. The unknown threat Hag spoke of. "Calm yourself, Valkyrie!" He grabbed her shoulders, giving her a jostle. She thrashed against him harder,
- 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

- 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
- 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

- 45 As Carrow ran for Ruby, Malkom faced off against the intruders at the neck of the peninsula, waiting for them to reveal themselves.She'd just reached Ruby at the beach, s.n.a.t.c.hing the girl into her arms, when the creatures swarmed into their san

- 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
