Excerpt
3
“My, what a
brave little soul are we. Don’t let this smile fool you, little girl. The only
reason you’re still here is because I have my orders, mundane as they are,”
Tanner said. “I do recall saying that I don’t need a vial on you, right, but
never said that I didn’t have one, did I? Insurance is always a necessity.”
He held his hand
out toward the others, and Ronin walked over to me and introduced himself.
“You, I have been waiting a long time to meet.”
My skin crawled
at what he said, yet at the same time, he mesmerized me, his voice captivated
me. He was the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. His face was so
close to mine, I had to tell myself to breathe.
I had to make
myself breathe.
Tanzia was
right. He couldn’t have been more than seventeen. His complexion was just a
hint darker than sun kissed. He stood at least six feet tall with a slim
muscular built. He had loose, curly jet-black hair that fell just about to his
shoulders. His eyes were different colors, one brown, and the other green. They
were the most striking images, even though behind them brewed hatred for me.
I wanted to, no,
I needed to, reach out and touch him. What is wrong with me?
“You don’t know
just how special you are to me, just how important this night is for you. If
you don’t fight it and come back with me willingly, I will show you a far
better time than that little boy did tonight. If you fight me, well, then I
will only forcibly take you. Your choice.”
“Back off,
Ronin, this isn’t even your fight. You don’t know the truth,” Bynder said
standing next to me. His words sounded more like a plea. It was the most humane
I’d ever heard him speak to anyone.
“Who are you to
talk to me? Stay in your place, Keeper,” Ronin spat, stepping into Bynder’s
face. His hands were balled into fists, ready to attack any minute.
I don’t know
why, but I stepped in between them. Ronin turned his attention back to me. His
face and body softened for a minute as he stared at me, but for that brief
minute, he allowed me to catch a hint of something else behind those eyes. That
strong sense of familiarity washed over me, consuming me all at once.
My Destiny.
