Six months ago, Lucy Donovan thought that being killed by a drunk driver was the worst thing that could happen to her.
She was wrong.
She was wrong.
Now, the person she loves most has been ripped away from her, soul held hostage, and Lucy has vowed to stop at nothing to get it back.
Part of a new team with enhanced powers, Lucy and her friends begin a quest to avenge the souls that have been stolen. Enemies of the Patronus have united however, and a spy from within the Patronus realm is feeding the enemy their every move.
When a mission goes horribly wrong, Lucy’s soul becomes compromised. It will take a strength she didn’t know was within her to escape the darkness, return to the light and avenge the soul she loves.
Tossing the
covers aside, I crept down the hall and into the living room. The small TV was
on, muted, and Max was asleep on the couch. The poor thing must have carried me
back after I fell asleep, and now he was all tuckered out. I tiptoed back into
the hall closet to fetch him a blanket. As much as I wanted him next to me as I
slept tonight, I didn’t have the heart to wake him. I bent down to grab a
blanket when something suddenly grabbed me.
I whirled
around and didn’t hesitate to attack, throwing my elbow into the nose of my
assailant, followed by a hard step down on his foot.
“Son of
a—ow, Luce!”
I flipped on
the light switch, taking a closer look at my assailant. I was horrified. It
wasn’t a vampire or stranger attacking me. It was Max. And I had broken my
boyfriend’s nose.
“Oh, babe,
I’m so sorry! I didn’t know who was grabbing me. I acted on instinct.”
Max pinched
the bridge of his nose to stop the flow of blood while I ran to get some ice
from the freezer. “We’re in our apartment alone, who else would it be?”
“I know, I’m
so sorry. What can I do to make it better?” I led him to the couch and sat on
the arm next to him, gently placing the baggie of ice on his already healing
nose. Blood dripped in a single steak off his chin and fell onto the sleeve of
his soft, cashmere Henley shirt. I reached behind me to grab some tissues to
wipe it away before more damage was done.
“It’ll heal
in a moment. Don’t worry about it.” Max’s nasally voice made me stifle a
giggle. Soon the bleeding stopped and in no time the swelling began to go down.
I ran my
hand down his cheek, my fingers delighting in the scratchy surface from his
five o’clock shadow. I cupped his face in my hands and laid a gentle kiss on
his soft lips.
“There, all
better,” I stated.
