Chapter Twelve

Grania’s heart thundered in her ribcage. She felt him drawing near. Turning to William and the rest of the party, she motioned for them to leave. “Get out! Now!”

The urgency in her voice must have sent off major warning signals for William.

“I’m not going anywhere. You said the survivors were in here. We’re going to find them and render them the necessary assistance,” William said, speaking with firm resolve.

“You have to go…” Her voice trailed off.

It was too late.

She turned to face him.

“It did take you long enough to show up.” The slick smooth voice flustered her right down to her bones.

If she thought her mouth had been dry before, now she was dying of thirst.

“Blaze,” she whispered. “Come back to me.”

She nodded her head at him. He didn’t come forward to embrace her, not that she expected him to. He’d betrayed them all. She prodded his mind, he wasn’t all there. She knew if she could save him, it would have to be soon or he’d be completely lost to them forever.

“I wasn’t expecting to meet such resistance. They are quite plucky these wizards, warlocks and witches that you’ve grown so fond of.”

“They have their moments,” she relented, watching him as he strode toward her with the grace of his forebears.

“Did you watch them kill your mother and father?” she asked, nearly choking on the question.

Sadness flickered across his face. Shadows of misery glinted in this eyes. She knew he’d been taken over by someone much stronger than him. Someone like her father. Was he orchestrating this entire thing from his safety zone in Dragonia? Her father knew how to make his subordinates dance like puppets for him.

“I do not wish to harm you, Grania. Step aside, so I can finish off the man you’re supposed to protect.”

“I can’t allow you to do that. That man now happens to be my husband.”

“You married him? How desperate could you be? You should have fought the mating fire, I’m sure you would have succeeded. Denys tells me what a frigid bitch you were with him.”

“Frigid bitch, my ass. Why don’t you let Blaze go?”

“Has she lost her marbles?” Leo asked behind her.

William quieted him with an elbow to his side.

“Blaze has your mother’s blood running through him. I couldn’t end his life, nor could I allow him to stand as a testament against me. Unfortunately, for him I tried to destroy his mind, he was always quite proficient in guarding against me. Right now, he’s in a metal cage inside of his mind, possessing his body with my consciousness was the only way I could make him see how superior in skill I am to him. He can see past my illusions, so I thought I’d use him to destroy that which is his last hope. It is true justice.”

“Why are you doing this? You must end this!” she demanded

“The time will soon be mine.” That familiar power hungry look entered Blaze’s eyes. She sighed.

“You don’t understand, Father. You will never overpower England, much less the rest of the U.
