CHAPTER 19

ismini

The moment Dyletri walks out on me, I’m in agony. I remain on the bed, biting down on my knuckles and trying to hide the sheer rage that’s reawakened in my cells. The pain multiplies with each step he takes, and about thirty seconds after he walks out the door, a punch of raw energy flings me back against the headboard.

I have to all but suffocate myself to stop my sharp intake of breath. If he hears me, Dyletri might return to investigate, and that’s the last thing I need. Not with the way my neck is burning, the lines of the mark branding my skin once again as they reappear.

So I stay like this, fighting back the need to breathe even as I fight the need to scream. It takes a while, but eventually I realize that his sheets are making the situation worse.

His room.

His presence remains in the form of his scent. It clings to everything. Everything.

Stomach heaving, I shoot up off the bed. I stumble and land on the floor in a heap. Just when I think I’m going to either puke up a lung or pass out from the pain, my brain seems to split in two.

I don’t have a chance to brace myself before visions start pouring in on me, whispers of a voice I now know so well.

It’s Dyletri. And I feel his guilt. His pain. His confusion. I can feel and hear ghosts of his anger because he betrayed Dimithinia.

A sob breaks out of me, the sound unstoppable. I clench my eyes shut, everything hurting as the ancient beauty’s face creeps into my mind through Dyletri’s. It’s like my soul is trying to escape my body to get away from his thoughts.

I damn myself to a million hells as the tears begin, leaking out hot and fresh. I pray that no one hears me as more small sobs escape against my will. Desperate to get out of the compound before they hear me, I try to drag myself across the floor.

I’m doing one hell of a job of it, too, when I hear someone walk in behind me. I’m halfway between the bed and the exit to the balcony.

“Ismini!”

It’s Vedliel. He appears next to me and I bite the inside of my cheek as he lifts me.

“Forgive me. Please. I need to—”

“Shhh. Please . . . he . . . he can’t know . . .” I cough, hating the fact that I can’t keep my traitorous body quiet.

“They left. They all had to leave. There’s an emergency back on Earth. By the gods, damn him. His scent is all over you. What was he thinking if he still plans . . .”

“No, I . . . I tempted him, Vedliel. I . . . Salicyar. I think I met Salicyar.” We rematerialize into the medical wing just as I manage to get out those words.

Vedliel pauses in his steps before continuing. “Stupid son of a bitch. I warned him.”

He’s practically growling, taking me by surprise.
