Chapter 57

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

William Shakespeare

Charlotte could still feel the ghostly press of Rurik's kiss on her lips. Something had happened between them. She hadn't just seen stars. She'd seen herself through his eyes, running on the beach with Damien and Jason. Before that she'd been flying high above the clouds, without fear or panic. Just an amazing, thrilling sense of joy. She'd experienced his memories, and he'd experienced hers through a single kiss.

There had been nothing in the Brotherhood files about that. At this rate she was going to have to write an entirely new set of rules about dragons, starting with mind-blowing kisses that make you share memories. But that was a problem. What if the next time they kissed the memories she shared exposed her for who she was?

Rurik's voice interrupted her thoughts. "Are you okay?"

"Sorry, just thinking," she admitted.
