*****

She met his gaze, thick lashes surrounding her stunning eyes, that cornflower blue which would now and forever be the color he associated only with her. In those eyes was a violent swirl of pain, and fear, but what loomed largest when she looked at him was love. Always love. She spoke again, and her words rocked against him with their unexpected force. “I would have died with you.”

Ripping pain punched through his chest at the return of those memories, those moments when she had looked at him with such calm intent as the mountain began to crash around them. He cradled her face in his hands. “Never again, little human,” he said, his voice roughened. “You must live. That is my one truth in this world. You must live, even should all others die.”

She shook her head, an instant negation of his words. “But I can’t live without you. I don’t want to. And I’m terrified to think I might end up being the cause of your death.”

With cat-quick feet, rage began to overtake pain. She could not…she could not… “What are you suggesting? That you leave? Me?”

His hands prevented her from turning her head, so she settled for closing her eyes, the circles beneath them a blue-black smudge against her pale skin. “I’m not saying that – don’t put words in my mouth. But it still hurts, that my selfishness endangers you. I love you so much, I can’t bear-”

“No!” How could this evening have gone so horribly wrong? His woman, his mate, thinking of leaving him? Never.

Never.

She had taken him into her heart and her body, had pushed past all barriers and filled the empty places within him with laughter and warmth, and now she talked of taking that away? For what? Pathetic fear? Fear for him? No, she should fear for any enemy who would dare approach her, fear the pain and death he would bring to them.

He was gargoyle. Skin and marrow and bone he offered for protection, a path awash with the red tide of enemy’s blood.

Instinct, ancient and demanding, hot and molten, flared within him.

He was gargoyle. Tonight, his mate would learn exactly what that meant.
