What do a fake client, an attempted abduction, and a decade of secrets have in common?
Apparently everything.
I don’t remember the shadow realm, but the land recognizes me as someone it once knew.
The lost heir, worshipped and adored… She’s painted on the sides of buildings like some demonic vigilante waiting to accost you in the nearest alleyway.
What I don’t know is that she is me.
Badass bounty hunter.
Mostly fearless.
Pint-size terror.
Full-size train wreck.
I’m surrounded by an onyx cloak; from the demons I befriended in my sanctuary to the creatures I grew up with inside the castle walls. Now, even the strangers who desperately need me bring a cloud of darkness to aid in my fight.
The men in my life are spine-chilling monsters, but I might be the worst one of all.
We drifted through the crowd, working our way to the entrance. Hestos bumped me with his elbow, nodding upward. Does the pull intensify when you see her?
I followed his line of vision to see Tezni grinning, his arm wrapped around a petite woman with navy hair that shone more than the searchlights. The mate bond slammed against my chest, possessiveness overtaking me before I could think it through.
Hestos shoulder-checked me, power crackling in his voice, Don’t. Tez would never hurt Ebony. And he has no intention of crossing the line with our mate. I know you feel the bond, but you’re not the only one. Control yourself. You’re frothing at the mouth right now; you look fucking rabid.
I don’t like him touching her. What are you going to do when I touch her? Nothing, I hissed. We’ve known we would share a mate for years. I’ve had time to adjust to the ideas of—What if she has another mate?
I jerked my head back, glaring at the smirk on his face. We’ve never run into anyone else who— I growled to myself. I didn’t think that far ahead.
Be rational, Zolren. We might not be her only mates. She could be in there with a boyfriend or a girlfriend who isn’t her mate. She could have a mate and think that’s the only one. Or she can feel this pull right now and not comprehend what it is. Just because we’ve had time to learn and understand, it doesn’t mean she has. Keep that in mind.
You’re supposed to be the rational one, I griped. I’m reckless and fueled by emotions, diving headfirst into the fray without a care. That’s what I do. Then you come in and shave my ass.
Hestos shoved me. I hate it when you do that. Do what? I blinked innocently, exaggerating the flutter of my lashes.
Say something stupid while I’m trying to be serious. He breathed deeply, searching for his patience. I’m asking you to care about her feelings. Don’t get all hissy and push her away before she even tells us her name. -
But I already know her name, Hes. And so do you. I squeezed his shoulder as we approached the front security, keeping my voice quiet, my lips nearly touching his ear. She’s the painted warrior, the lost heir, the Shadow Queen. That’s Onyx Costa, Hes. If you thought we were going to stay out of this war, you’re sorely mistaken.
