Chapter Thirteen

Magnus

Alanna, I’m coming!

Racing through the forest, Magnus cursed himself. He never should have let Alanna go into this alone.

All his dragon instincts had been on high alert ever since she had stepped out of the car. He hadn’t been able to relax at all from the moment he’d lost sight of her, despite how confident she seemed that Benedict was a man she could trust.

He had waited, jaw clenched, shoulders tense, until finally he could stand it no longer and had gotten out of the car to pace restlessly. His dragon had been screaming at him to go after her now, to catch her up in the forest and protect her – but Magnus had pushed its voice aside.

She asked us to stay here. We have to respect her wishes.

His dragon had writhed angrily at that, but at the very least, it understood that doing what its mate had asked of it was the proper thing to do.

Magnus had just begun to relax slightly when it had hit him: Danger.

He had plunged into the forest only a second later, before he’d even had time to think.

The trees and undergrowth were dense, but he barely noticed. The only thought in his mind was to find Alanna and protect her from the danger he had sensed, no matter what it might be.

Alanna!

He didn’t know what was happening, but all his instincts were screaming at him that something was wrong. Terribly wrong.

Magnus let his dragon guide him, his human mind receding as his dragon’s senses took over. The dragon snapped its jaws, furious that anyone would harm its mate.

They will pay! We will see their blood on our claws!

Dimly, Magnus felt his human self bristle in agreement. Whoever had dared to raise a finger to Alanna would regret it. He would make them regret it.

As he raced through the forest, however, Magnus became aware of... something more than the danger he had detected earlier.

It was almost like a looming darkness on the edges of his perception, a black cloud that hovered ominously on the horizon.

What is this?

His dragon snarled.

It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, we will kill it.

Magnus didn’t slow down, nor did he falter. But the dreadful rising darkness at the edges of his senses grew, drowning out all else...

Stay away! Please, Magnus, don’t come! I can’t let you do this!

Magnus gasped as Alanna’s voice sounded in her head, almost as if she had called aloud to him.

He answered her before he could even think: Never. I will never leave you to fight on your own.

And he never would. He did not know what was waiting for him in the depths of the forest, but there was not even the slightest chance he would leave Alanna to face it alone.

My mate. I will always be here. I will always protect you. No matter what.

The dragon was single minded. And in this, they were one.

He was almost here now – almost with his mate, almost at the place where this strange darkness
