Chapter Nineteen

Nyx

I ris is fucking remarkable.

I knew it before, yet seeing her in action is something different entirely. The whole damn forest lit up as she sang over her companion’s body. Never before has anything like her ever existed. I am so obsessed, my whole wretched body aches for her. Her magic is the exact opposite of mine, and she has no idea what hides inside her.

The fae male was on the brink of death, his soul hovering between life and the darkness of death. I almost ended his life just for being in her lap, but I knew that would hurt her, so I stayed hidden in the shadow of the trees farther down the river.

If it wouldn’t destroy everything, then I would march right over and take her for myself. No, I must have patience. The time will come, and when it does, Iris will finally be mine.
