When Bree awoke, the scent of cooked meat filled her nostrils. Sharp pain lanced through her entire body, and her head rang from the sounds of her own distant screams. She groaned and tried to push up onto her elbows, wincing as the world tilted sideways.

He was beside her in an instant. Eurig. The male fae outposter who she could have sworn at one point couldn’t care less whether she lived or died. “Whoa, there. You took quite a beating. You need to rest. And give your body time to heal.”

“What happened?” Bree tried to think back to those last moments, to that distant memory where she’d heard Eurig’s unmistakable roar cut through the bloodied night. He had attacked the beast, but she could have sworn the beast had taken him down first. If the blood hadn’t been his…

“While I was hunting, I found some travelers. Or, at least the remains of them.” Eurig’s face clouded over, his eyes growing distant as he stared at the fire. “And then I heard your scream. I got to you as quickly as I could. The Hawkborn is a vicious kind of creature, but he is no match for my lion.”

“And he wouldn’t have been a match for my beast either,” Bree mumbled as a new wave of pain lanced through her. “But I couldn’t shift, and I have no idea why. These past few weeks, I’ve gained so much control over my shift. It just left me tonight.”

“The creature has the ability to control magic. He prevented you from shifting. Hell, he could have forced me to shift back into my fae form, too, if I had not caught him by surprise.”

Bree cut her eyes his way, and her cheeks warmed. “Thank you. For coming to my rescue.”

Eurig stiffened, clenching his jaw as he kept his gaze focused on the fire. “I did not rescue you. You would have survived, even without me. With Taveon’s powers running through your veins, it could not truly harm you, at least not permanently.”

Bree stiffened, her heartbeat flickering wildly. How did Eurig know that? Even at this distance, she and Taveon were still bonded together. The beast’s attack would not have killed her, though it had felt like it the time. Eurig shouldn’t have known that though. There were only a few people in the realm that knew about Taveon’s immortality, and as far as she knew, Eurig was not one of them.

She was tense as she glanced his way, but she tried to hide the intensity of her wariness. “What do you mean?”

He let out a chuckle and shook his head. “Now is not the time to play coy. As I said before, Taveon and I are old friends. There are things about him that I know, things that no one else knows, except maybe you. And Rafe, of course.”

Bree would not speak the words aloud, just in case he was referencing something completely different than what she thought. “Okay, so maybe you’re right. The bond we share gives me strength.
