Chapter 16

Eurig

Eurig could tellthat Bree was fighting off sleep, but it didn’t take long for her body to give into the need for rest. The poor girl had been through a lot, and it had been a hard road so far. When they had first set out on the mission together, he’d felt more than a little annoyed by her lack of experience and knowledge when it came to Underworld. But that wasn’t her fault. He could see now that she had thrown herself into learning everything she could about this realm. A place that was not even herhome.

With a deep breath, he stood and strode over to her side, gazing down at her peaceful expression. His heart lurched in his chest, and he had to grit his teeth against the growing affection he felt toward thisfemale.

She was off-limits to him, as much as he hated to admit it. Bree belonged to Taveon, and he was fairly certain she also belonged to Rafe. She had no room in her heart for an outposter, let alone one like him who had been banished from his ownhome.

But that didn’t stop him from noting her beauty and her strength and her ferocity, a combination that could make the strongest male quake in hisboots.

He leaned down and brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. She was everything he’d ever thought he wanted, but she would never be his. If only he could have been the first to meet her. Perhaps everything would have turned out far differently than ithad.
