Chapter Six

CHAPTER SIX

My eyes are closing.

I can hardly keep them open.

Lucius has killed my mate.

I feel grief like I have never felt before.

I cry out, in pain.

My heart is broken.

I am broken.

I hear Lucius' laughter. It's echoing through the hall.

Suddenly, he grabs me.

"To think I was going to give you all the finest things," he sneers. "A room. Maids. Finery and jewels."

My mind is hazy.

I try to focus on Lucius words, but I am too weak.

"Now I am going to do something far more fitting," Lucius says.

"Get her," he roars.

Two servants appear out of nowhere.

They grab me.

"No!" I scream.

But the blackness is growing inside of me.

I feel myself slipping away.

I feel despair.

I am in the servants' arms.

This can't be happening.

I try to fight.

I try to get to Tanner.

To my dead mate.

To hold him.

But my knees are buckling.

I can't think straight.

My mind is whirring.

I look at Lucius.

"You monster," I choke. "You will pay for this."

He laughs.
