The connection between me and the coven leader is fully established now. Gwen said she thought it was weaker because the binding sigils were drawn by my false uncle and not Cleo herself. But he did everything he could to strengthen that bond, and now that she knows it’s there, it feels like something has shifted—like a tunnel has opened up between me and her.
A two-way street.
The bond is more solid than ever, and we can both use it against one another now.
Dammit. How long can I keep her out? She’s infinitely stronger than me. A well-trained, well-seasoned witch, and a psychopath too.
“Fuck.” Ridge’s voice is hard, his face creased with worry. “Is she in your head now? Can you feel her?”
I search inside myself, rooting around in my chest and my mind for any signs of the vicious witch. Then I shake my head weakly. “No. I don’t think so. She… she pulled me out of myself. Into some kind of astral plane where she attacked me. But she’s not in my head now.”
Gathering my strength, I try to build a wall around my heart. Around the very core of me. I can hold her out for now. For a day. A week. A month.
But how long can I manage to keep the barrier in place without it draining away all my energy? How long until she manages to snatch me out of my body again and finish the job she started? Archer said my heart almost stopped while Cleo was attacking me through our connection.
She’ll try again. Just like Gwen warned me, she’s ruthless and determined. And I know without a doubt that Cleo will keep trying, keep invading my mind, until she kills me.
Unless I kill her first.

I saved his life.
Now he’s invaded mine.
Two years ago, a split-second decision changed everything. I risked my life for a man I didn’t even know and nearly died for it.
I’ve tried to forget him. To forget that whole night.
But he hasn’t forgotten me.
He’s been watching.
Obsessing.
Craving.
And when he crashes back into my life like a wrecking ball, accompanied by two dark shadows—men he calls his brothers—the life I’ve been trying to rebuild for myself shatters into a thousand sharp-edged pieces.
He believes our souls are bound by blood, and he’s come back to claim what’s his.
Two years ago, I saved Marcus Constantine’s life.
Now I wish I hadn’t.
