“Daciana Volana, you are charged with breaking the first law of the cursed mundanes—revealing your wretched affliction to the natural mundanes,” he stated, his voice dripping from his lips like water dancing among the riverbed. “You will be taken to a place of execution where you be burned until you are dead. This charge nor your sentence can be argued, commuted, or appealed.” He stepped aside, making way for four more unnaturally gorgeous creatures. “Take her.”
“No!”
“It— It wasn’t just her,” a thin voice croaked out. “They helped her. They’re her mates.” Nia tried to point at Edric and the guys. Her hand made it an inch off the floor, then flopped down. “They helped her film the video and put it online.”
“Shut up, Nia!”
“They were laughing about it!”
“Hmm.” Pool Eyes observed my mates as they tried to get on their feet. “Take them too.”
“What?” I cried. “No! You can’t do this. You don’t understand—”
One of his men clapped golden handcuffs on me and I stopped. Literally... stopped.
I stopped moving. Stopped blinking. Stopped talking. Stopped moving my jaw.
It hung open and frozen in mid-sentence as a strange, shiveringly cold sensation spread through my limbs, and shut them off.
“Argh!” Badr charged.
Pool Eyes vanished. In the space of a millisecond, the cuffs were on Badr’s clawed hand, and he was still.
Fast. So fast. I no sooner finished that thought than all of my fates were cuffed and frozen before they had a chance to think about attacking.
Everyone said we didn’t stand a chance in a war with fae—not as we were now.
They were right.
Hope! Hands grabbed and dragged me to the spot beneath the hole.
Nia crawled across the floor, her broken body quickly knitting itself back together. “Don’t worry, Daze.” She lifted my crying baby out of the crib and shakily rested her on her chest. Flicking over her head, she looked me in the eyes and smiled. “I’ll take good care of her.”
HOPE!
We took to the air, leaving Corvin Academy far behind.
