“You stupid fucker. You need to learn to keep your damn mouth shut. She is my fucking mate. How dare you!”
Ero struggled in his grasp but Ciyrs was gone. All the control he held over the years and he broke. His hand heated up and his warrior friend screamed.
He wasn’t aware of anything after. He blacked out and when he opened his eyes he tugged at his arms. He was restrained to a bed. “What the hell?”
Pyra came into view, then Eden. Her face was streaked with tears. “What’s wrong baby doll?”
“You don’t remember?”
“Uh—help me out here, because I so obviously don’t know what’s going on. Why the hell am I being restrained?”
“Ciyrs you injured Ero badly.”
He shook his head. “No I wouldn’t do that. He can be an ass, but we all know why.”
“You did. I had to heal his wounds. I don’t know what you did, but his flesh around his neck was burned, like he was in a fire.”
Realization dawned on his then. He didn’t remember but he remembered the feelings. “Oh fuck.”
“Where is he? I have to apologize. He just made me snap, I know that much. I healed him, and then he made a comment about Eliana not being a real mate and I lost it.”
“Fucking shit, he knows better by now. No wonder you lost it, but how the hell did you burn him?”
“I seem to have gotten a new power. One I’m not sure will be good until I get a handle on my temper.”
Eden tensed. “What kind of power?”
“Not the good kind baby doll. At least if it’s used on friends.” Ciyrs shook his head. “I am two different people now. A part of me heals and the other part of me destroys. I’m torn between good and bad and I have no fucking idea what to do. I need Eliana, I need my fucking mate.” Then he broke down and sobbed. Eden climbed on the bed and wrapped her arms around him pulling him close.
“Shh, we’ll find her. I don’t know how but we will.”
“It’s no use. I don’t feel her anymore.”
Eden pulled back and her brows knitted together. “I do.”
“What?” He felt a bit of hope.
“Yeah she isn’t doing well, but she’s still alive.”
“Don’t fuck with me baby doll.”
“Hey don’t!” Pyra growled.
“Oh calm down he’s just excited.” She brushed his tears away. “She’s alive. I bet she shut you out. Probably not on purpose either. I think it’s time I reached out again.”
He shook his head. “But the baby. I can’t ask you to do that.”
“You’re not. But I’m doing it. We need her back. I won’t be able to go on feeling your suffering on a daily basis Ciyrs. Your pain is my pain.”
He nodded understanding because she understood what he went through. Her pain was his too.
He looked at Pyra who growled. “Like I have a choice. She won’t listen to me.”
Ciyrs had to bite back a smile. Eden was a stubborn woman, and he knew she was the key to finding Eliana, or so he hoped.
Chapter 10
“It’s no use. They won’t find you. I told you we’re smarter than them. We can block them.”
I sighed and let my head fall back. I had been trying to get a message out. But it was like there was a block. My messages weren’t getting out. “Why? I don’t have the answers you’re looking for. Can’t you just let me go?”
He laughed and his eyes burned brighter. “We’ve already established that I’m not stupid and you want me to send you back?”
“It’s not like I’d be able to tell them where I was. I’ve seen nothing but your freaky eyes and darkness for days.”
He backhanded me and I tasted blood, but I was done playing his fucking game. I stood on wobbly feet and fisted my hands. I felt the end was near, and I wasn’t going down without one hell of a fight. If I didn’t get to live to see my mate again I was going to make this Klimnu bastard pay.
He stood back relaxed and amused by the look of his smile. I focused on Ciyrs and his love for me. I knew he loved me. It didn’t matter how little time we’d known one another. It was true, and it was as real as the beat of my heart. His orange eyes stared back at me and I gasped. It was that damned illusion again.
“You could never be him.”
“Oh but I can,” he said and gripped my hips and ground his creepy ass erection against my stomach.
I shuddered and spit on his face. “You’re not even a fourth of the man as Ciyrs and you make me sick you creepy bastard.”
He wiped the spit from his cheek and let me go laughing. “You think that’s going to upset me?” I stared as he licked my spit from his bony fingers. EW. I shook my head and shuddered.
I was losing my damned mind. My body shook with a rage I had never felt before and my arms to the tips of my fingers heated and when I lifted my arm they glowed red. “Holy shit!”
The Klimnu stared frozen in shock for a few seconds before he stepped back. “What are you?” He tilted his head seemingly entranced by the glow of my body.
“I’m nothing.” But at that moment I certainly was something. I focused more and the heat burned stronger. I broke out in a sweat and stalked towards the monster who figured out he might have been in a little bit of trouble. I narrowed my eyes and wrapped my small hand around his tiny throat. His eyes widened and his mouth opened and he let out a wail that shot straight to my head. It pierced my ears and I couldn’t stop the pain reverberating through my body. I screamed too and tightened my hold on the monster who stole me away from my new home. I would not give up.
The smell of burning flesh filled my nose and my eyes watered. His body struggled helplessly against me. His body lost its strength as I sucked his life away. That’s what I was doing, I was taking his life.
After his eyes rolled back into his skull I dropped his bones to the ground. They shattered into a pile of dust and I looked at my hand. It no longer glowed, but his ash covered my hands. I wiped them on my jeans and took a deep breath.
“What the hell happened?” I asked, but there was no one there to answer me.
I bent and dug through the pile of ash and found the keys he used to lock me inside. Feeling around for the door I gripped the cool metal of the door and sighed. Pulling it open, I waited for others to come, but it was silent, and I tiptoed down a dimly lit hall. The light was bright to my eyes. When I made it to the end of the hall I looked both ways wondering which way was right. I shook my head and went left hoping for the best. I needed to get out of this place, and I needed my mate. I needed Ciyrs.
