Chapter Seven

Was he well and truly Marked? Mari had claimed him. Her Mark rode his flesh, but that proved compatibility, nothing more. Did she intend to assert that claim? To try to keep him? He’d thought Gerrick delirious when he said as much, but the possibility nearly brought him to his knees.

It could never be. And though she had Marked him, he’d have to find the will to free her before it was too late. Right now she was still pulling energy from him somehow, healing. He couldn’t deny her that small boon when she’d saved his life. Right now, she needed him. When she was strong, he’d do what needed to be done to save her. He’d let her go so the darkness he carried didn’t destroy her.

Still, he had to see the impossible for himself. He strode to the tall mirror sitting atop the wicker dresser and twisted around to get a clear view of the top of his left shoulder. He knew exactly where to look. The darn spot had tingled to life as if it had a life of its own and knew it was being placed on display. And there it was, the Shen, the mark of a Timewalker. He turned back around to Mari, shoved his still shaking hands into his pockets to caress the hilts of his blades. He needed to calm the fuck down. “Mari, what exactly did Celestina say when she sent you through time?”

Her gaze found his, locked on to him like a homing beacon. Mari’s eyes darkened with desire and he took an involuntary step toward her before his brain processed the movement. The Shen on his shoulder sent a bolt of lust into every cell in his body. By the gods, the woman had him bewitched. Mari licked her lips and Tim stepped between them, breaking the hypnotic allure in her gaze. “Time for that later, my friend. Let’s figure this out so we know what we’re dealing with.”

Focus. Yes. He was clearly lacking in that department at the moment. Every breath he took drew Mari’s scent into his lungs. He wanted to taste her kiss, cover her body, and bury himself so deeply inside her that she’d never think of another man again.

Focus.

He held out his hand and Mari tossed the stone to him. Sarah and Mari were frozen in place as he pressed his thumb against a sharp edge and cut himself. He smeared his blood around the centerpiece of the stone to unlock it. As expected, the blood disappeared into the stone, but only a faint light glowed from its depths. It recognized his Immortal blood, but that wasn’t enough. There should have been a clue, a message, a name, anything to tell them whose soul was anchored in the stone.

Frustrated, he made the cut deeper and rubbed even more blood onto its surface. This time nothing happened. The dark red liquid remained on the exterior, rejected.

His thumb tingled where he’d cut it and Mari held her breath on the bed.
