Chapter Eleven

Anna’s heart stopped beating for a long second. Hands shaking, she took a wobbly step back. When her heart resumed, it pounded against her ribs at a gallop.

“Come now, dearest. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Besides, I must have a dragon not already corrupted by black magic. The one you fought is practically useless to my needs. And with the powers you inherited from both your parents, combined with the magic you took from your father, you’re too sweet of a commodity to waste.” He snorted. “It is annoying that your dear papa’s soul is useless without his magic.”

A hysterical laugh bubbled up in her pained chest. The evil man couldn’t use her father’s soul, yet he kept it still. She would avenge such a thing. Going against him meant sure death, but she’d rather be dead than chained once more in his creepy castle, used as a magical base, drained whenever he needed to replenish his powers.

Not again.

Never again.

Rage. Pain. Terror.

They swamped her, turning the world into nothing but this tiny slice of place and time. A reddish haze tinted her vision.

There was only her wolf, her lover, herself and this evil being wanting to destroy them all. As adrenaline rushed through her body, power surged with it.

It was her power, yes, inherited from her mama. But along with it came the familiar, comforting scent of her dear papa. His magic mingled, joining with her own, becoming one. This time, it was seamless. Painless.

She took a strong, confident step toward the mage holding her parents’ souls. He would not take hers, or Garreth’s. But neither would he keep his evil hold on her mama and papa.

Another step. Small and faltering, but still a step.

“Give yourself up to me, and I will spare the two behind you,” the mage sneered. “Otherwise, I will kill them both and add their souls to my collection.” But his arm, holding the spheres, twitched.

She took another step as power consumed her. It filled her with energy, forcing the pain away. Far, far away.

Garreth watched Anna advance. Her face was expressionless, her eyes unfocused as if in a trance. Her limp arms brushed against her sides.

She drew closer to the hooded figure, one small step at a time.

He wanted to scream at her to run. He tried to twist and writhe against the invisible hold on his body, but nothing worked.

His dragon, furious, urged him on, their power strong, but not frackin strong enough. Yet their mate was about to give herself over to this evil being. To save him, and her wolf and parents.

Garreth refused to allow such a thing.

Yet there was nothing he could do to prevent it.

Something tingled in his chest, a warmth spreading from his heart. Smells cut through the bland chilly air around him. His little sister, Calla. His brother, Tyler, and their youngest brother, Peter. Then the rest of their siblings. Their scents wrapped around him, pushing warmth into his chest, expanding it through his body.
