CHAPTER TEN
ANYA COULDN’T BELIEVE LUCIEN had just tried to kil her. Truly kil her, and not in jest. Yeah, she’d known he’d been commanded to do it. Yeah, he’d claimed he meant to see it through. And yeah, he’d even tried before.
But his previous attempts had been halfhearted. This hadn’t. He’d meant to slay her. Permanently, no take-backs. If she hadn’t flashed from the couch when she had, he would have cleaved her head from her body.
And now he was hot on her trail, stil determined to take her out.
Hurt and anger flooded her as she flashed from one location to another, each blurring together as she tried to lose him. Today she’d shopped with him and laughed with him. She’d told him about the key. For once he’d seemed to like—and enjoy!—her presence. More than that, he’d promised to take her to the Arctic with him.
And then he’d tried to kil her.
The heat of her anger intensified, and the sharpness of her hurt cut deep. How dare he! She’d been nothing but kind to him.
Wel , she thought, eyes narrowing, that was going to change. She was now going to kil him. No more desiring him. No more kissing him and imagining him inside her. Seething, she flashed to her apartment in Switzerland and quickly changed into a tee and black stretch pants that wouldn’t easily stain with Lucien’s blood, reminding her for years to come of what she’d had to do to him. Flashed to two other places, gathering weapons.
Once she was armored in knives, throwing stars and a Taser, she flashed back to his home in the Cyclades. She wasn’t just going to kil him, she was going to have fun electrocuting him before slicing him up like a Christmas ham.
He was gone. Stil looking for her, she knew.
He would appear soon enough.
She stood in place, feet apart, hands at her sides.
Waiting…eager…
He arrived a split second later. His gorgeously scarred features were devoid of emotion. Seeing him, she remembered something she wanted to do to him and grinned evil y. Payback was going to be a bitch.
“Anya.”
Rather than attack him, she flashed to his room in Budapest. She gathered the chains he’d used on her, flashed to that glacier in Antarctica and wrapped them around her waist like a belt.
“Bastard,” she said as cold wind cut into her skin.
Lucien hadn’t known that she was the one immortal no chains could hold, no prison could contain. Thanks to her father, who had gifted her with the Al -Key, she could escape any place at any time. She could escape anything—except her curse.
I wil not give it up.
To give the key away was to chart the course of your own downfal , as she wel knew. Her father had known he would weaken when he gave it to her, but he had done it. To make up for his absence most of her life, to prove he real y did love her.
To her horror, he’d quickly begun to crumble. Now, al these years later, he was a shel of his former self.
