42. The MessageThe mountain shuddered as Silas glared.I shrank back as the wind howled and the clouds darkened. I tried not to look as terrified as I was, but I don’t think I was doing a very good job at it, especially if they could still hear my racing heartbeat.We had made the link to make sure the vampires couldn’t take me from the wolves, but what if we had accidentally pissed off the witches by doing that? I shuddered at the thought as Derik stepped slightly forward. In front of me.“Dangerous wolves. A move like this could be construed as an act of war,” Silas warned, but Derik shook his head.“Or an act of love. Either way, it is done. You cannot have her,” Derik stated, and Silas smirked.“Dirty fucking wolves. And you say we can’t be trusted?”“You can’t.”“Then how is it that you have two winter borns in your territory and we have none?”I listened to them argue, getting more and more nervous.How could they reach any kind of agreement when I was already spoken for and my

Derik let out a tense breath, then turned to us with a grin.“We’re okay. For now,” he said, then came over to kiss me.I kissed him back but pulled away before he could distract me from what I was mad about. He knew though.“We’ll talk about it once we’re back, beautiful.”I nodded, not ready to argue when we had just won. Not to mention the nosey witches that I couldn’t see but could feel. I knew they were still watching, and it unnerved me, so I walked with the alphas over our side of the Summit.It was surprisingly hard to walk downward in the snow. Walking was a bit of a stretch, more like sliding. It was cold and wet, but kind of fun.I smiled as Kai purposely skidded himself down, laughing as he smacked into a tree.“Bet Tabby told them to put that there.” He chuckled and dusted himself off.I grinned as Brax helped me down the snow. I caught him by surprise with a kiss, breaking his strange stare off into nothing. He looked at me, and I frowned at the subdued, almost empty loo

I shuffled closer, placing my hand against his face, my palm along his cheek.“I’m not going to let that happen. I have my shadows and you three. I won’t fail,” I promised, and he nodded, his eyes meeting mine with a slither of hope that I locked on to before pressing my lips against his.I kissed him slowly, softly, with all the tenderness he constantly showed me. He kissed me back, his arms going around me as he pulled me onto his lap.I sat astride him, kissing him before I had to pull back to breathe. He chuckled and held my chin between us.“You’re still too sick,” he said, and I shook my head.“I’m fine. Please, Derik? Tomorrow is the full moon, everything could change, and I want to have you before then,” I said, running my fingers down to the hem of his shirt, slowly lifting it.He let me take it off. And then I was kissing him again, my lips tugging at his, his tongue finding my mouth as the desire swirled in my stomach.I sucked in a breath as he pressed his lips against my

“I’ll do my best,” I breathed against him as he released me.I backed away from them. Kai tried to take another step, but whatever force was binding the oath planted his feet to the floor, and this time, he couldn’t fight it.His fists clenched at his sides, and I blew them all a kiss, running out the door and heading toward the carriage that was waiting. I got inside, and as soon as the door closed, the panic hit.I had never been anywhere else in the realm on my own. I had always been with others, always distracted from my own thoughts, but now I was by myself and I could hear my own heart beating.It was so damn loud, the throbbing in my head more intense as I thought through every possible scenario of what was about to happen.Was I about to kill my brother? Was Elias about to kill me? What if I never made it back to my alphas? What if that was the last time I saw them?My breaths came harshly through my tight chest as I tried to summon some kind of bravery. It was hard when the s

If I failed, he might kill my alphas. I believed in them, but I also knew how powerful he was.I looked over to him, frowning as he retreated back to the fireplace. He stood there, highlighted by the flames, my brother who wasn’t my brother.I stood on shaky legs, my head swimming, my skin bruised, my clothes bloodied. I felt as bad as I looked, and I was pretty sure he knew that.My shadows were weakening, something in the dagger making sure they were being drained with my blood.He was still grinning, but his eyes went to the pentagram I stood in. I looked down to where my blood mixed in with it, a pool in the middle that now connected all the lines.My head snapped to him as he chuckled darkly.“Just a little of your blood, that was all I needed.” He grinned. “And the final sacrifice of course.”He beamed before he buried the sacrificial dagger into the stomach of my brother.“No!” I screamed, and my shadows burst out of me, going for the dagger.I barely had a thought before my sh
