THE SOUND OF WATER FILLED MY HEAD, MUDDYING EVERY OTHER
thought in there. It drowned the panic, too, though I could tell it was
simmering just below the surface. It felt like I should have been screaming,
running, hiding—but from whom?
It felt like I’d done something unspeakable, something awful, something
unforgivable…and I knew exactly what.
Even my bones hurt when I became aware of my body. I seemed to be
in one piece, at least. All my limbs attached to me, and there was light
behind my closed lids. I tried to open them, tried to move, breathe deeply,
think.
But the sound of the water falling right next to me held me under for a
bit longer.
The memories slipped into my mind as if I was watching a movie on
mute. My father, half buried, chained, bleeding on the side of the mountain
—the image sent a shock throughout me, and my dragoness’s roar was
almost as loud as the water.
I’d mated.
I’d mated to Lucien, had let out my dragoness, and my Fire.
I’d shifted, had flown, had fallen in love with Lucien’s wyvern, too, had
ruined an entire forest playing with him. My dragoness had been happy for
the first time in seven lives.
And she’d been furious and outraged, too, at the sight of my father.
Just as outraged as me.
The need to claw out of my own skin was so great it took my breath
away. Now, I tried to cling to the sound of water, tried not to remember the
way I’d hurt. The way I’d cared.
For my father—a man I knew was a monster. A man I knew didn’t care
about me.
That’s my daughter.
My eyes popped open.
The sky had never been bluer, the thin clouds like paint on a canvas, the
birds flying in it tiny. I chased them with my eyes for a while, trying to give
myself time to come to terms with what I’d done before I fell apart. Trying
to give the world time to right itself, to change.
Nothing did.
I’d taken my father away. I’d left Lucien, the twins, and Mikhaila. We
were finally together, all draca, alive on the same timeline, and I’d turned
my back on them for my father.
I’d never felt more despicable in my life because, even now, I didn’t
regret it.
Pushing myself to sit up, I forced my mind to stop working, stop
thinking, and just focus on my surroundings. Easy to do once I started
understanding the shapes and colors around me.
A waterfall. I was lying on grey rocks by a large waterfall. The water
poured from at least a hundred feet high, falling like a curtain in front of the
landing I was on, then continuing farther down where I couldn’t see.
