NIKOS

The moment he saw Keraunos, Nikos knew that Medusa was making a move. That was the bad news. The sort-of good news was her sending an assassin after Nikos. It had to mean that she herself was still pretending to be a friendly tourist back on the island.

The raiju, a blue-white wolf whose qi was bound to electricity, was infamous as an assassin. Young as he was, he was also a high level martial artist. His skills and his uncontrollable lightning were deadly to humans and most shifters. He wasn’t as deadly to mythic shifters, but as a fighter, plus the lightning, Keraunos was a serious threat.

The message was clear: Nikos needed to get home, or there would be collateral damage, because Keraunos didn’t seem to care what or who he went through to get to his target.

But first Nikos had to get Jen away from Long Cang. Pride burned in him when he saw the shifters Jen had already taken down, both clearly heavy hitters. But beneath that pride was a gnawing worry: she had no idea what she was up against.

A step at a time, his unicorn murmured within.

The trade was no contest, as far as Nikos was concerned—no artifact, no matter how powerful, was worth a life. Especially his mate’s.

He risked a single glance at her, and met a steady gaze. No accusation, which he’d dreaded seeing, though some might say he deserved it for waffling so long about telling her the truth about himself—he should have done that the day they met! No anger in her eyes, even. That is, not aimed at him. Her gaze met his and he knew she was right there beside him in spirit, despite the questions he hadn’t dared answer, despite the pain she was in.

The ferocity of his love burned through him. His mate! He was terrified that she would act the moment she saw what she thought might be a chance, because she was as gallant as she was brave. But she didn’t know how very dangerous it was—she, a human, stood between a red dragon and a raiju, the lightning-wolf of the Japanese islands.

Nikos would exert himself as long as he dared to preserve the oracle stone until he figured out a way to rescue his mate. He’d surrender the oracle stone if he had to. Mikhail understood that without any words between them. What happened if Cang got the oracle stone would be Mikhail’s and the celestial empress’s business.

His plan right now depended entirely on stalling for time, in the hope that Joey could get his team here before Cang tried to break the standoff. Joey had said they were trustworthy and determined, but the only fliers among them were not fighters. That meant the fighters had to cover the ground, slower than flight.

Nikos activated his ring and sent his consciousness down toward the oracle stone. The only way to extract it without digging down was extremely tricky. He had to ease the stone just far
