"What do you want?" I asked. "You’re going to kill him!""I came to collect my errand boy, who has been quite disobedient recently because of you." Kelvin responded, taking a few steps towards me. "Didn’t I warn you of what would happen if you interfered again?"’"And?" I challenged, refusing to bac
[Asher’s POV]I fought the urge to look back as Leah barely whispered my name. Fuck, this was painful, but if I continued to let this go on, Kelvin would definitely kill her. Keeping my expression blank, I began to reach out, searching for Thia’s familiar energy. I needed to let her know that Leah n
[Thia’s POV]We moved quickly through the night towards the gorge where Leah was trapped and injured. It hadn’t taken long to find a path leading down to it after I was ready to jump. If my sister needed me, I would do whatever it took to help her."Thia, you need to be careful!" Ashton hissed as I
I watched as Leah’s eyes began to turn a bright red and smoke began to rise from her body as the vines surrounding her started to turn into ash."Alright now." Haidan murmured, trying to alleviate the situation. "I think neither of you are thinking straight and should stop before you say or do somet
[Ashton’s POV]I wrapped my arms around Thia as she took in Haidan’s words. I knew she was exhausted and she didn’t need the scolding, but in a way, it was something that all of us needed to hear."We should get back," I announced, pulling Thia to me."Yeah," Haidan sighed, turning her attention to
[Chloe’s POV]I held my breath while everyone around me considered my words. The whole situation seemed similar to the first time one of my premonitions from a dream had come true. Would they believe me this time? Or would they think I was crazy like they did the last time?"The goddess led you." Th
[Leah’s POV]I stood in the hallway listening to the voices that drifted from the room I was currently outside of. After waking up and finding myself in an infirmary completely cleaned up and bandaged, I immediately reached out in an attempt to find the others. Once locating them, I wasted no time g
[Chloe’s POV]"Leah!" Thia shrieked, clutching at Leah’s unmoving body. "LEAH!"The room around us was silent as Thia frantically tried to wake Leah. The scene was almost surreal, and I found myself wondering if this was a dream. How could Leah be that wreckless? Didn’t she know that there was a be
Ouch…"Anyway," Chloe continued, looking into the distance once again. "I’ve been observing you all morning and you’ve been acting strangely. If you don’t get it together, they’re going to grow suspicious. ""I..." I began, but stopped as Chloe got up and wiped dirt from her pants."That was all I w
[Asher’s POV]A gasp escaped me as my eyes flew open. What was… lifting a hand, I touched my forehead to find it covered in sweat. Sitting up, I watched as a black comforter fell down my body, revealing perfectly smooth skin."My scars..." I murmured as my memories of everything that happened up to
[Asher’s POV]"Asher!"Antoine’s voice drifted through the roar of the power I was slowly drawing in as Selene struggled to break free. From the sound of his tone, I knew that he already had an idea of what I was about to do and wanted to stop me."Stay back!" I called, turning to meet his terrified
[Asher’s POV]Jumping up, I kept Leah close to me as I drew on my power once again. The duo would pay dearly for what they had done. And then, once I was done with them, I would go and join Leah."Asher!" Antoine called as footsteps began to make their way towards me. "You need to calm down.""Calm
[Leah’s POV]"Stop it!" I shrieked, shoving Selene aside. "You’re hurting him!"Behind me, I could hear the yells of my comrades, but I wasn’t about to stop now. Sucking in a breath, I lifted my fingers and began to wipe the blood from Asher’s injuries."Why did you let her do this?" I murmured, fee
[Leah’s POV]I kept my gaze fixed on Asher as I continued to touch Ian. Despite the indifference that remained in his features, I could see the jealousy burning in his eyes. Good. This meant that even when the darkness had taken over, he still felt the bond between us. That meant there was a chance
[Leah’s POV]"Mallard has been around for a very long time." Craig began, growing serious. "I know that sounds impossible, but some claim he may even be immortal."Immortal…Shivering, I tried to picture being unable to die. After losing those closest to me, I found it hard to imagine carrying on. I
[Leah’s POV]"You’re Asher." I insisted. There was no way that I could mistake the sensations I was feeling from where we touched."Who?" The man asked in confusion."Leah," Ian murmured, giving my body a slight tug. "That isn’t Asher."Frowning, I continued to take in the man. The eyes that met min
[Leah’s POV]I held my breath as Craig led us into a dark hallway with a long stairwell leading down beneath the earth. Once we reached the bottom, the sound of laughter drifted towards us, filling the deafening silence that was becoming unbearable."In here." Craig announced, beginning to knock an
