A sweet but stale scent drifted out from the dark corridor. My head jerked
toward the sound of light, fast footsteps as I reached for my hip, drawing the
bloodstone dagger.
A vampry darted between the sandstone pillars, rushing into the lamplit
hall of the seemingly unending vault beneath Wayfair Castle, nothing more
than a flash of streaming dark hair, alabaster skin, and crimson silk.
There was no hesitation. Neither Kieran nor I had given any of them
leeway since entering the underground.
I released the dagger, sending it flying across the hall. The bloodstone
blade struck true, embedding deeply in the vampry’s chest, cutting off the
annoying, godsawful shriek as it knocked the Ascended back. A web of
fissures rapidly appeared in the Ascended’s flesh, spreading across its cheeks
and down its throat. Skin cracked and then peeled back, lifting from bone and
turning to dust. Within a heartbeat, my dagger clanged off the stone floor
beside nothing more than a pile of silk.
“Cas.” It came out as a sigh, and my lips curved into a smile despite the
frustration filling the breathy word.
I couldn’t help it when Poppy called me that. Hearing it sometimes made
my chest tight yet made me feel light as air. Other times, it made me hard as
fuck. But it always brought out a smile.
“The Ascended didn’t attack us,” Poppy said.
“It was running at us.” I went to where the dagger lay and picked it up.
“Or running from us,” she suggested.
“That’s one way to look at it.” Cleaning the blade on the leg of my pants,
I sheathed the dagger and faced her—and damn if I didn’t feel a catch in my
godsdamn breath.
Every inch of Poppy showed that she’d just fought a terrifying battle.
Blood and grime smeared her cheeks, hands, and her clothing, not to mention
what covered her bare feet. The braid she’d forced her unruly hair into had
mostly come undone, and the strands gleamed like bold, red wine in the dim
light of the gas lamps, spilling over her shoulders and down her back.
And still, she was so damn beautiful to me.
My heartmate.
My Queen.
Not a goddess but a Primal—the Primal of Blood and Bone. Of Life and
Death.
Shock rippled through me, nearly causing me to stumble. It had been
doing that every couple of minutes since she went all Primal on the Blood
Queen. I imagined it would be a long damn time before it stopped happening.
“But the last thing anyone who doesn’t want to end up a pile of dust
should do is run in your direction.” I bowed at the waist. “My Queen.”
Poppy blinked slowly, clearly unimpressed by my chivalry. That
brightened my smile, and her full lips twitched as she fought back a grin,
revealing a hint of sharp canine.
