Maxon
“Your mate has disappeared from our detection,” Yumekui’s voice cuts through the air as she storms into the cavern, her usual infuriatingly calm demeanor nowhere to be found. She kicks a rock across the floor, the sharp sound echoing against the walls.
I tip my head back against the wall, a hollow laugh escaping my throat as I close my eyes, the edges of my smile teasing. Of course, Everly has figured out a way to hide herself. She is not as na?ve as everyone thinks.
The quiet lasts barely a moment before I feel her presence—close, too close.
I open my eyes as Yumekui straddles me, her kanzashi pressed hard against my throat, the tip biting into my skin just enough to draw a trickle of blood.
Her ruby eyes burn with unrestrained fury, her lips curling into a feral snarl.
