CHAPTER SEVEN

The power rushing through her veins wasn’t her siren song or her glamour. It wasn’t even the effect of Deo’s vampiric magic. His pupils glowed red and his fangs released from their sheaths, but nothing in his aura spoke to danger or death. No, he shimmered with passion, heat, and love.

“Beloved,” he said in a low tone and then looked up, warily scanning the room. His arms tightened around her and she noticed the shift in his stance, the sudden aggressive protectiveness.

The ballroom was totally silent. No gasps of shock that she was making out with a vampire on the dance floor, no shrieks of protest from her mother, no murmurs from the gossips. The lack of noise pulled Cora’s attention away from the shimmering rope linking her to Deo. The only sound in the room was hundreds of people breathing softly, some even snoring. From the floor.

Deo lifted her upright, giving her full view of the chaos caused by their kiss. The energy that had pulsed through them had pulsed through everyone. Or into them, anyway, because everyone in the ballroom lay flat on their backs, as if bowled over by Cora and Deo’s love. One by one, each person stirred and started the slow process of regaining their senses. Including her parents.

She rubbed a hand over her forehead and tried to clear her head enough to think straight. First things first, replace her glamour. But it was gone, blown to smithereens from the power of their bond. Turning back to Deo, she smiled. Her mate.

“All this time,” she breathed, unable to believe it as tears of the most intense joy spilled down her cheeks.

After more than twenty years of denying the truth in a vain attempt to protect herself, she could now admit she loved Deo. Always had. From the moment he’d asked her to dance so very long ago, her heart had belonged to him.

“Told you so,” he teased.

She jabbed his ribs as he wrapped an arm around her waist so they could face the waking crowd together. The unique presence that was Deo enveloped her psyche like a favorite blanket, a giant bar of chocolate, and a big glass of red wine all at the same time—comfort, warmth, familiarity.

How had she not known they were destined? How could she have missed it this entire time? All the clues had been there. All the times he’d caught her with her psychic pants down and she’d had to rush to snap her glamour into place. Each time she’d simply assumed she’d shielded him before her nature had a chance to bury its claws into him. Even the last time, when he’d walked full into her song without flinching, she’d told herself he’d been lucky.

But as it turned out, he’d been immune, as he’d tried to convince her all along. It should have occurred to her that a siren’s fated mate would be immune to her false allure, but even if it had, she wouldn’t have risked losing Deo in case she was wrong.
