FIFTEEN

Avalon

I waited for Alexandria to return that afternoon. Her little Volkswagen pulled to the front of the estate and parked in its usual spot. I rose from my seat by the window, letting the curtain fall back into place.

So many questions rolled over in my mind.

Where did you go?

Where did you honestly go?

Were you hurt?

Who did you see?

By the time I reached the bottom of the grand staircase, she had closed the door behind her.

Her gaze rose to meet mine.

She didn’t need to say anything.

My jaw clenched against anything my tongue wanted to say. I longed to lash words at her for lying to me. I needed to punish her for putting herself in danger.

I couldn’t do that anymore, though.

Not to her.

We were equals.

“I’m sorry.” Her lower lip quivered, her purse slipping from her shoulder to drop on the marble floor.

Wordlessly, I went to her. I embraced her tightly, hands carding through her long tresses. She shook beneath me, and I backed a step away.

Taking her face in my hands, I kissed her deeply. “What happened?”

With a shuddering breath, she spoke. “I’m the last one, Arthur.”

My eyes narrowed. “What do you mean you are the last one?”

“After me, there is no more.” Tears slipped from her eyes. “I’m the last chance.”

So everything Merlin and Vivian feared was true. My strange illness, the fact Alexandria loved me and wanted to stay with me—it all made sense. Even immortals have ends, and even curses couldn’t last forever.

I swallowed hard. “Who told you this?”

Alexandria’s eyes looked at the floor then back at me. “Mordred.”

Rage shot like a flame through my blood.

I gritted my teeth against the things I wanted to say. She didn’t need me to berate her. She knew how dangerous going to see that man was.

“Why did you go there?” I kept my voice as gentle as possible even though it was near fucking impossible.

“The phone call a few days ago, that was his receptionist.” She took the handkerchief I held out for her. “Morgan stayed with me to make sure nothing happened, and there was a man named Dr. Ivan Tristan.”

“Tristan?!” My heart sank to my knees. “Tristan is working for Mordred?”

Alexandria nodded. “He is the lead scientist, so he must know everything.”

“He is also one of my knights.” My tone gave away the pain I felt.

She gasped. Her hand flew to her mouth. “I thought I knew that name!”

I nodded. “Still, why did you go?”

“He said he had an offer for me.”

My body tensed. “What was that offer?”

“My freedom from you to live a normal life.” She shook her head. “I refused. I can’t live without you.”

He offered her an out?

I pulled her back to my chest. “I love you, Alexandria. Never doubt that, and know I will fight for us.”

“I know you will, and I will fight for you.” She looked back up at me. “There is no other option.”

I arched a brow. “Just promise me that you will never rush off without telling me the truth again.”

Alexandria gave a small laugh.
