I jolt to and prod my chest. My finger reaches via the outlet in my garment and touches unmarred flesh. By the Creator!

Niawen’s gentle healed me once more.

Niawen didn’t know the far-reaching results her infusion of sunshine would have on me. In her haste to heal my damaged and battered physique from Caedryn’s torture, she had shoved everything of her gentle into me. Caedryn had crushed my legs so horribly that I ought to have by no means walked once more.

However right here I’m.

The inflow of her gentle then gave me the power of two dozen males to combat our means out of the citadel.

My physique has modified due to it.

I’m quicker, my listening to sharper, my eyesight eager at the hours of darkness. Due to all the boys coming after me, I turned a killing machine.

What is going to grow to be of me?

Particularly now that I’m linked to my nemesis.

“Niawen!” My coronary heart scourged by torment, I shout to the skies and permit blackness to take me as soon as extra.

Chapter 4

Each fiber of my physique aches the farther I run from Niawen. And as painful as letting her go is, every step away from her retains her secure.

She is sort of distant, someplace northwest of right here.

Someway I sense her.

I don’t understand how when I’m bonded with Caedryn, however maybe some bonds are stronger than these held in place by the sunshine. Maybe it’s the sheer love I maintain for her that lets me sense her whereabouts, that lets me glimpse her in my goals sometimes.

And that’s purgatory, seeing her and never being together with her.

Sometime. Sometime I’ll discover you once more.

I’m as far south as my father’s palace, properly into my father’s realm. Caedryn’s males retreated in the interim. They don’t dare come close to town.

I stare on the palace on the hill. Cynwrig is a ravishing capital metropolis, with the good Dillion Sea shimmering behind it. The gleam of sunshine off it on this early spring day is blinding.

My household is within the metropolis. Father, Mom, and my elder brother, Kelyn. I pray Tiwlip took my cousin Brenin again to Hyledd with the springtime snowmelt. I can’t bear to see her, not after I broke her coronary heart by falling for Niawen. The less folks I care about in Cynwrig, the less who’ll be at risk ought to the assassins grow to be daring as soon as extra.

Ah, anxious to see Father and Mom once more? Caedryn asks. He hasn’t left me alone throughout my weeks of journey.

Steer clear of them. They don’t have anything to do with our quarrel.

We will see about that. I can infiltrate the palace at any time when I want.

What’s stopping you? What would you like from me? I squeeze the department I’m gripping, and it crumbles in my hand. As badly as I need to see my household, I received’t return to Cynwrig. With Caedryn nonetheless howling via my ideas, threatening to homicide these I like, I can’t draw his assassins into town after me.

I’ve but to name out to Seren, Niawen’s dragon sister. Although Niawen has given me her dragon stone, I’ve not used the telepathic connection the stone cast between Seren and me. Earlier than we parted, Niawen instructed me Seren would gladly take me to Gorlassar, the dragon realm.

There, the Excessive Emrys can inform me if I’m doomed to stay a monster—this fused embodiment of emrys and human—and if I can eliminate Caedryn in my head.

Then I can return to Niawen, with out endangering her.

For days now, I really feel Seren on the fringe of my thoughts. She should know one thing occurred to Niawen with the switch of the dragon stone, however she hasn’t spoken to me but. And pleasure retains me from calling out to her.

However I need assistance. It’s time I cease being cussed.

It’s greater than time, a clean voice says in my thoughts.
