Chapter Two

Every muscle in Reveca’s body was trembling. So many years and choices and life was standing between her and Talon and it was now coming to a head—an end neither of them could have dared to imagine. “I’ll see to it that whatever barter that bitch made is null and void,” Reveca swore.

Within his dark eyes, beyond the weariness that aged him in some way, past the fire that was barely an innocent flame, Reveca saw pride in his gaze. She also saw his fear for her. “You have no idea what you’re up against,” he warned.

“And you have no idea what I have already fought.”

Reveca had gone head to head with a fucking God to save her Kenson. Granted she lost, but she’d stood her ground—a Lady of Death could never hope to have the power Reveca had held her own against.

Reveca knew she could protect her own life; with steadfast planning she could protect Adair’s and her boys’. What she could not swear to was stopping the reaction of such a confrontation. Lords of death were deceitful and never let a grudge go. Reveca could only imagine Ladies were much the same, if not worse.

Reveca’s mind was whirling with battle plans along with barters she could make. She’d already determined she’d need her sister and Jamison’s insight—at the very least they could speak to Jade. She saw them as allies.

She knew King’s calm mind and his vast knowledge of the lore, of every dimension, life and death, was a weapon she could wield. He was bound to know some way to resolve this. Some way to keep Talon alive, and to keep his daughter safe, and stop whatever evil the devil named Brosia had given a pass.

No, bullshit—you are not giving up! Reveca’s thoughts raged at him. Not once had she ever seen him this broken, and she had nursed him through every hell one could imagine.

“First you fuckin’ cheat on me. Now you’re telling me you have a daughter by some death Lady, and here is the kicker—you’re going to die. Just fuckin’ give up and leave me to protect your daughter and the family we built, all alone.”

Solemnly he looked up at her. “I want to stay and see you through this. I’m fighting. Know that I am.” His lips quivered, then finally a sardonic grin emerged. “Besides, you’re not alone,” Talon said drawing in a deep breath.

King’s scent was rich on Reveca. Talon could all but see every place his hands had been on her, hear the soft whispers, the near silent demands he made of her body, and the answering cry of pleasure Reveca returned.

No, Reveca was not alone, not anymore. The hell of it all was they were all together strapped to a sinking ship. King’s wars, at some point, would find their way to the Boneyard, to all immortals’ doorstep. Until then, the betrayals, the ghosts of the pasts, and the unruly mortals, along
