A primal sense of danger sets my nerves on edge.

In the game, threats can come from anywhere, at any time. But this feels different, more malevolent. Elisa said she was tracking a glitch in the system. Is that what’s affecting the game?

I curl my wing protectively around her shoulders. “Stay close.”

"Something is wrong,” she says, her voice laced with urgency, unaware of the impending danger lurking in the shadows.

Chapter 5

ELISA

Brody's granite-like arms envelop me in a protective embrace as we rocket through the virtual sky. Howling winds roar past, tugging at my hair and clothes, but the sensation barely registers, my mind still grappling with the sudden attack that tore us away from our intimate moment in the queen's bedroom.

Flashbacks of the wraith battle flood my mind, the ghostly figures swarming us from the shadows, their screeches filling the air. Brody's fierce protectiveness shines through as he swings his massive sword, his avatar Balor a formidable force against the onslaught.

The jarring shift between lovingly feeding me figs one moment and desperately fending for our virtual lives together the next leaves me reeling.

"Hold on to me. I've got you," Brody reassures, his deep, gravelly voice rising above the rushing wind.

I cling to him tightly, marveling at his avatar's unyielding stone-like body that feels both resolute and comforting. His strong arms encircle me, enveloping me in safety and love, even in the middle of chaos. The depth of my feelings for Brody surges through me like a tidal wave, threatening to sweep me away in its intensity.

Learning about Brody's motocross accident earlier only heightens my fierce desire to protect him.

My thoughts drift back to our passionate encounter in the queen's chambers, the way I had laid myself bare before him, both physically and emotionally. I had never felt so vulnerable, so exposed, yet so utterly safe and cherished.

Brody had rewarded my trust with pleasure beyond my wildest dreams, his every touch, every kiss, every whispered word of affection a testament to the depth of his feelings for me.

As we descend toward a secluded stone turret, a sudden updraft causes Brody to falter. We crash-land into the turret, our bodies slamming against the cold, hard floor.

Brody gently helps me to my feet, his hands lingering on my waist as if reluctant to let go.

In that moment, I know with absolute certainty that I am completely, irrevocably in love with him. The realization sweeps over me, washing away any lingering doubts or fears.

I want nothing more than to be with him, not just in this virtual world, but in the real one as well. I ache to feel his actual arms around me, to gaze into his true eyes, to taste his genuine lips against mine.

"There's a way out through here," I say.

Brody studies me intently as I fit the key into a concealed door, his eyes widening in amazement as it swings open to reveal a narrow passageway.

"You did all this?"

I nod, pleased by his admiring glances. "An Easter egg from a while back.
