Sacred

SerenaThe world is safe. Nothing can touch us. The sea surrounds us and two gorgeously dangerous men flank me on either side. But they’re playing a game and I can’t let myself forget it, or can I?AmbroseI want to protect her, but she’s changing. I’d thought our journey would embitter her further, crush her, overwhelm her, and destroy her before anyone else could. I don’t detest her kindness, not at all. I wonder at it, but it also scares me. If her gullibility doesn’t kill her, her soft heart will. Still, I want her. I want her more than I would’ve let myself believe.CainAmbrose has taken her and he still has her. Pollux is useless and Nikolai is too hard to read. The Master hasn’t spoken to me and uncommanded, I feel myself needing to find Serena and protect her. If what Nikolai says is true, Ambrose will use her and then kill her. He’s a viper in the dark and I will cut the fanged head from his body.
