Book 3: Chapter 26

Nina

“Nina, please don’t ask me again. We are not allowing Alec to leave that dungeon,” Magnus growls.

“If you saw what he showed me, how it all came about. You would see how unjust it is for him to remain in there,” I say.

“Nina, I would never put myself in that position in the first place. Your blood flame made his choice, and he now suffers the consequences,”

“If I was burned at the stake, would you not try and kill those responsible?” I ask.

Magnus stiffens, and instead of responding, he walks away upstairs to our room and slams the door.

With Reaper on my shoulder, I sigh and stroll over to the open window.

“That didn’t go down well,” Reaper mind-links.

“Well, it’s a complicated situation for Magnus, he is my mate, and the Vampire King is my second mate.”

“Did you hear that, Reaper?” I ask as I hear a gasp from the garden.

“Yes,” He says and flies from my shoulder and circles through the garden, searching.
