Chapter Eleven

He couldn’t believe his eyes. Could barely breathe. In the span of a single heartbeat, Mara had gone from being trapped in a mystical coma that no one knew how to break, to sitting upright and speaking as if everything was fine.

Pulling her into his arms, Uther held his mate close, listening as his heart skipped a beat to fall in sync with his. The sheer power of their bond, the connection they’d been given by the Universe Herself, skittered across his every nerve-ending, strengthening their joining, filling him with a monstrous energy that forced the residual black magic from his cells and reinvigorated his soul.

He could see Brennus’ proud, smiling face in his mind’s eye and knew at once the Dragon King had worked a miracle. Giving a single nod to the dragon of his soul, Uther leaned back and looked down at Mara, her crystal blue eyes full of doubt.

Leaning his forehead against hers, he let all the adoration he already felt for her fill their bond, as he assured her, “Everythin’ will be all right. I am here. No one and nothin’ can hurt ye.”

“But…” She paused, the fear of rejection and recrimination so thick he could feel it sitting between them. Waiting as she took a deep breath, he listened as she finished, “You don’t know what I’ve done, the people I’ve hurt.”

Have seen it with me own eyes.” He tapped his temple. “Just as ye can see my memories, so I can see yers.”

Leaning forward, Uther caged his mate with his body, laying the palms of his hands on either side of her thighs on the mattress. Looking at her, waiting until he was sure he had her undivided attention, the Guardsman asked, “Did ye do those things of yer own free will?”

He saw the shock in Mara’s eyes as she sputtered, “W-Well…no…”

Not giving her time to think, Uther powered on, “Did ye leave yer home, yer family, the ones ye love, and take up with a crazy wizard then a homicidal demon just for fun?”

“No.” Her voice was stronger. She lifted her chin and straightened her back, but still the Avenger continued, “Did ye murder, torment and harm all those people of yer own free will?”

“No, I did not.” The confidence was growing with every word she spoke, and then Uther fired the question he knew would get his mate’s thoughts on the right track. “Did ye call to me? Did ye ask for help? Did
