Chapter Fourteen

Thirty-six hours, Breena thought as she looked at the clock on the wall. Dale hadn’t been back, and she couldn’t blame him. She had accidentally turned him into exactly what he didn’t want to be. A killer.

Her heart hurt over what she’d done to him. She cared what he thought of her, and it did piss her off that he saw her as nothing more than a killer. Nevertheless, when he’d believed in her, it had been the little push she’d needed to fully start to develop feelings for him. He was human, and decidedly, an asshole, but he had a past that made her ache and a future that she found incredibly sexy—despite everything.

However, it was all over. “You had one chance to fix things, one chance to prove to him to keep you. One chance to save your sister and father from the stupid war, and you blew it because you thought he’d been over exaggerating.” The words ‘one chance’ echoed on repeat in her mind.

It was the first time she’d admitted the failure to herself. She’d thought Dale had been over playing how much he enjoyed power and making others suffer before his last Guardian. She knew the exhilaration in taking an energy thread, and she knew that the only reason she killed in that way, with her powers, was because her father ordered it. The energy overflow into her body felt like a supercharge, but it also sickened her. To kill someone by stealing their life force, well, for some reason it felt wrong to her.

She’d seen the smile etched on his lips as he’d played with the power. Breena had just believed he would stop before he did something he would regret. “And yet, he hasn’t. You’ve got not one war, but two, on your shoulders now and possibly Dale’s death.”

She turned and stared at her reflection in the mirror, and for the first time, wondered what people saw when they looked at her. She was as beautiful as any sprite, perhaps more so because she had royal blood, and it seemed to make her glow almost. Her hazel eyes were round and big, enticing almost. Her light brown hair was glossy and the lighter blonde tips from when she played with honey gleamed in the light. Though she wasn’t much above five feet, her body was well muscled, honed from war. She saw no innocence radiating from her eyes, but she didn’t see the evil she saw in Leather Jacket’s. That had to mean something.

Breena did what she did on an order. She enjoyed it, and she had never assumed it was wrong to enjoy a victory until Dale. Somehow, things felt a
