Spurn (29 page)

“You cannot leave
.” His words were low, but I could feel the push from each one.

Behind me the rest of our group
made it through the doorway. Josian grabbed me again, and this time I let him, because the man standing there – he scared me more than anything I had ever witnessed in my life.

I wondered if he would let us leave
. Something told me he had the power to stop us if he chose to. But he didn’t. At the last moment, before Josian dragged me through the doorway, Brace raised his hands.

No, no, no, no
,
I chanted in my head, because I knew what was coming next.

The inky da
rkness started in slow swirls, before exploding from him in black clouds. This was his dream, and I knew that Brace, my heart-mate, my love, was gone, and I’d never told him. I’d never said those three little stupid, amazing, heartaching words. Maybe that was a crazy thought, considering everything that was happening, but there it was.

Even after the doorway closed
, and I could no longer see the creature that was wearing Brace, I was trapped in golden swirls. They danced before my eyes until eventually the pain eclipsed all else and darkness engulfed my mind.
