"WHAT TOOK YOU so long to return to the fortress!" Asair fought the sparks begging to strike the mermaids, rip them from the reservoir, and thrust them into the desert sun.

"We needed to feed." Selene’s black lips spread with a mischievous grin.

"You broke Halen's arm!" He balled his fists at his sides, keeping his hands from strangling her. Shadows of her sisters’ fins loomed beneath the surface of the water reminding him he was outnumbered. His magick could unravel words, but he didn’t know if would win against the dark spells cast by three demons. With Halen near, he wasn’t about to test.

"I retrieved her from the owls. I warned you lives would be lost." Selene lingered at the edge. Her elbows propped on the concrete.

"Funny how your sisters returned with Dax, and there’s not one scratch on him.”

She strummed her talons on the concrete, the sound gritting his nerves. When he stepped toward her, she trailed her finger across his sneaker. "I wouldn’t have killed her. I just wanted to see if she still had it in her. I don't know why you put so much faith the siren. I've seen inside her soul. She could defeat Tarius, but she never will. She loves him." Her gaze shot to meet his, catching him unaware.

Before he had a chance to block her, she delved deep inside his emotions, reading how this revelation of Tarius and Halen might affect him. Even though the thought of Halen's past soul still loving Tarius tortured his mind, he never would let Selene see. "Galadia left Tarius for a reason. Besides, we both know the soul's nature is strongest in the present life. The past has little influence." He didn't know this for sure, but just stating it as fact help him digest the horrible thought; Halen might love the enemy. Jae worried if Dax and Halen were inseparable, then something would have to be done to contain Halen. Eventually, she would wean off the elixir, but with the silver inside her, her magick would never truly be her own. With a monster after her soul and one chasing her heart, her magick wouldn’t have a chance. Jae worried the circle of three was tainted already.

"You better hope she doesn't love him, or we're all in trouble." Again, she tested, poking an open wound to see if any of her words hurt. "Or do you think she might love you instead?"

"Don't be ridiculous. You’ve seen inside my head. You know how I feel for Halen."

Selene wagged her finger. "You would sacrifice yourself for her—I call that love. You shared each other's souls. She’s seen all of you and you all of her. This is more powerful than the physical time you’ve spent together. Look how we’re bonded. How our love spanned a hundred years, and yet we barely have seen one another." Her tone sounded hopeful.

Naivety blinded him from fully understanding the complicities of a curse when he forced her alliance. "You’ve been loyal, Selene. Even when my heart stopped and the curse broke.
