Chapter 14

Eleanora

I drew my power back inside of me, the euphoric connection to the universe dampening until once again I could be contained within my body. Each time I used this evolved—more enlightened—version of my phoenix power, I grew more certain that it wouldn't last forever. Like my celestial siblings, one day I would burn out in a glorious demise.

When I opened my eyes at last, I did not see the lycans, cowering in awe before me. I didn't notice how I had filled them with the purity of starlight, recharging them until they bristled with power.

All I could look at were my lovers, Brom and Merlin. Their eyes were blown wide from the rush. In seconds, they focused on me and the flush of need and love their gazes sent through me made my arcane ability seem trivial. Where I knew that my power would one day leave, the emotions they inspired within me was akin to eternity.

They recovered faster than all the lycans save Romulus. I felt them, their magical presence, converge on me. Brom reached me first, taking my hand in his and bringing it to his lips a moment before Merlin slipped his hand around my waist and burying his face in my hair. Romulus's palm rested between my shoulder blades, grounding me as I drifted in the eddies of their emotions.

"Welcome home," Brom said as he lowered my hand. Merlin pressed a kiss to me before pulling away, the reluctance in his touch and gaze twin to mine within my heart.

"Miss me?" My voice was watery even as my throat tightened.

"I'm trying to think of a clever remark," Merlin began, "but I'm just too damned happy you're back."

My heart leapt into my throat, and I was happier than words could describe. This is why I couldn't have stayed in Tír na nÓg. I couldn't have gone my entire life without their love, without them beside me.

"Lass," Romulus reminded me gently of the crowd, and I finally looked at the lycans around us.

Brom and Merlin shifted to my sides as I looked to Genevieve. Pride shone brightly from her eyes and I felt my grin spread wide under my mask at her approval. Romulus's father quivered beside her, fear and anger warring on his face as he glared at his son behind me.

"I will not threaten you," I spoke out. "I am not cruel or blind with my power. It is a burden placed on me by fate, the stars, the syndicates—whomever it is easier to believe for you. I have made the pilgrimage to Tír na nÓg, and I have met Siannch Aoife. I've faced the creator of my powers."

Hushed silence met my words and I made a point to meet as many gazes as I could while I spoke.

"Our society is sick. Power and wealth are concentrated in only a few. They fear the fire because to be cleansed to them means to be made powerless. My purpose, though, is to make the powerless powerful.
