As Callie and Fabian were forced out of view behind a thick mist, I was suddenly gifted a moment alone with my husband.
My desperate heart was yearning.
My fractured soul was remending.
And my frantic thoughts were tumbling, diving, free-falling-
“Erik!” I screamed, sprinting to the water's edge and wading into the river as he dropped from the speedboat.
A wave crashed against me, forcing me back, but I didn't stop moving, my skin thirsting for his touch. He pushed through the waves with more force than the tide, his jaw gritted and his metallic eyes locked on me like a missile.
I jumped through the fierce pressure holding me back from him and caught his hand. Flesh on flesh. He yanked me into his arms and hoisted me above the waves. I wrapped my legs around him, clinging to him with all my might. Our lips crashed together as fiercely as the tide around us. He released a primal growl as I tasted the salt water on his mouth, savouring every delicious part of this moment. I gripped his hair, kissing him until I was sure my soul was going to burst.
He pressed his cool forehead to mine, his expression pained as he clutched me tighter and the turbulent river raged around us. I realised it was more than the usual pull of the tide, Idun was moving the waves in a roiling storm. The water parted around us and I gasped as the pebbly shore became visible beneath Erik's feet. The water swirled up higher and higher, forming a sheer vortex that moved around us, cocooning us within the waves.
Fear scratched at my heart as Erik dropped me to my feet and my bare toes sunk into the tiny wet stones. He clutched my hand, gazing up at the dusky sky above us.
A moment of privacy for the lovers, Idun's velvet voice filled my ears.
I turned, trying to spot her in the murky water that circled around us like a tornado, expecting her to appear at any moment.
When she didn't, I faced Erik with one furious thought in mind. “Don't fight Magnar and Julius, we're so close to figuring out the prophecy. If we work together, we can finish it.”
“You are?” he asked with hope flaring in his iron gaze.
I nodded, hurriedly explaining what my sister and I had come up with. How the ring had shown us the way to a mountain far in the south.
When I was finished, Erik shook his head, his eyes darkening. “We can't do anything until we're sure, Montana. And I won't ever turn you into a vampire. I can't place this curse on you.”
I coiled my fingers in his damp shirt as desperation clawed at my insides. “If it's the answer, you have to.” Tears pinched my eyes as Erik pushed a tendril of hair away from my face.
“I've been tricked too many times by Andvari.” He ran his thumb over my bottom lip, a fire simmering in his gaze. “I cannot risk this being another lie.
