Chapter Eleven

“What the hell?”

William dropped his plate as Riley spun to see what was happening.

William moved across the porch, although he was too slow to catch Alexandra. Her plate hit the floor and shattered. She was on her hands and knees, her eyes closed and pain on her face.

William bent over her back and placed his hands on her shoulder. “Are you okay?”

She shook her head but said nothing.

Riley and Worth forgot about the food he was handing out and hustled over to the fallen queen.

Riley knelt in front of her and saw the tears in Alexandra’s eyes.

“What is it? What’s wrong?”

The only person on the porch who didn’t move was Linda. She remained standing in the doorway, watching the other four.

“Thomas,” Alexandra whispered. “Oh, Father and Mother, Thomas...”

“What the hell are you talkin’ about, woman?” William asked, although his voice was full of care.

“They’re dead.” Alexandra shook her head, the tears falling now. “So many of them are dead.”

“Who? Who’s dead?” Riley asked.

“The Chosen. They killed so many.” Alexandra began sobbing, her body shaking.

Riley stood up, although she kept her eyes on the woman. “What is it? You have to tell us, Alexandra. Get hold of yourself and tell us what happened.”

Alexandra slowly sat down, William and Worth backing up some. “Rendal came for them. Came for us. Him or someone he sent, I couldn’t tell.” The tears were still streaming down her face, but she managed to speak. “Thomas used the last of his life to tell me. Or show me. I saw them lying in the sand dead. My people. Your people, Riley.”

Worth moved to the woman and sat down next to her. He didn’t put his arm around her, but he knew better than anyone what it was like to lose family to the dark mage.

“What did he say, Alexandra? Rendal is coming for me?”

“I don’t know. Not exactly. It could be him, it could be an army he sent, but yes, they’re coming for you. Thomas said they’re coming here.”

“Here?” Linda asked.

Riley turned to her. “Hush.” She looked back at Alexandra. “Careful, now. Think. You’re sure he killed them?”

Alexandra nodded but didn’t look up. “Not everyone, but many. Yes.”

“And they know where we are? I don’t mean to be callous, but we have to know the lay of the land.”

“I understand, Riley. Yes, they’re coming here.” The queen wiped her face with her hands, trying to stop the tears and be strong for the woman she called their Savior.

“Did you see how many?”

“What I did see was frightening, although I can’t give you an exact count. More than we can stop.”

“Fuck that,” William growled. “We can stop whoever Rendal sends.”

Riley backed up and looked at William. “We have to go. We have to meet them.”

Still sitting next to Alexandra, Worth shook his head. “Not ready. Need more time.”

“Time, Worth? What time? They’re on the way. I don’t have time to fucking train anymore. They’re going to come here, and they’re going to kill us. At least if we meet them, Linda won’t have to die.
