Chapter Nine
Petalâs Garden
My mouth is dry. I canât swallow. Speak.
I donât want anyone else to die.
Hecate above, donât die.
Ra snatches my elbows and pulls me up. I raise my hand, shading my eyes against the sun.
The shadow makes for Kit, but just as fast, Loki streaks to intercept it.
Is he crazy?
Yet now through the watery blur, I can finally make out that it isnât a Shadow Demon invading the calmness of Petalâs garden. And itâll be Loki whoâll be doing the tearing apart.
My horrified gaze meets Raâs determined one, as his wings beat. But then, Lokiâs magic sweeps out in a wash of protective emerald, pushing us back.
Lokiâs protecting me, my lovers, and TOFâ¦? Does he even realize that heâs acting like a Guardian?
Loki knocks the forest creature onto his back, straddling him. He pins him down with his arm across his throat. The creature is like the beauty and wildness of the forest in one struggling bundle. Soft horse ears, along with nubby horns, poke out of his thick black curls that tumble all the way to the ground. Theyâre so black that they gleam as if wet. A matching horse tail sweeps the ground. His narrowed silver eyes are pale like moonlight.
My beautiful forest creature.
Heâs only wearing green trousers that look woven out of moss with a silver flute tucked into the waistband like a sword. Yet I canât blame Loki because the creature does look wild and he did come running out of the Eternal Forest.
âWho are you, assassin?â Loki hisses like heâs a second away from gutting him.
Kit falls back dramatically on the grass, hiding his face with his tails. âSave poor kitsune.â
Kit never misses the chance for mischief. Perhaps, thatâs why Loki and Kit clash? Itâs the same as two Alphas fighting to the death for dominance. If you get two tricksters together, prankster sparks will fly.
âGet on with you, my singingâs bad, but itâs never been accused of killing anyone before,â Lokiâs captive gasps in a gentle Irish accent.
âOr are you a spy?â Loki says thoughtfully, pressing his arm harder. âSpeak.â
âLay off! I could if you eased up on the choking,â Lokiâs captive splutters. âDid I miss the whole negotiation stage because I know thatâs one of my limits.â
âLet go,â I holler, âheâsâ¦â so much to choose from, ââ¦a Guardian.â
Instantly, Loki pulls his arm away from his captiveâs neck like heâs been burned but he doesnât get off him.
Perhaps, heâs comfortable. I find that particular Guardian deliciously comfy to ride.
âBard at your service.â Bard holds out his hand to Loki like he isnât sprawled underneath him still.
Bardâs always been quick to forgive: too quick.
Loki ducks his head. âHow many of you asshole Guardians are there?â
Bard pats Lokiâs chest. âWhy, you sweet flatterer, you.â He flutters his far too long to be fair eyelashes.
âUh-huh.â Loki assesses him. âYouâre the dangerous one, right?â
Heâs talking about my Bardâ¦?
To my surprise, however, Bardâs silver eyes flash in a way that thrills with danger. âDo I look dangerous?â
âVery.â
âWell then.â
I sigh.
