Guardian: Book Two, Feather Book Series Read online

  “Well you created it,” Sam retorted.

  “Shut up Sam.” My teeth were clenched and my jaw fixed. What was that thing thinking? A red hot feeling of murder rose in my chest, the desire to kill so sweet, it made my bones ache.

  Though my need to kill was very strong, I had declared never to do it unless it was a righteous cause. I laughed to myself, remembering the day I had vowed to uphold the code, laughed as I saw Matthew beside me, making the same vow that he had already planned to break.

  Killing this ghost would help me, I smiled. Murder was surely the quickest way to regain my strength and quench the thirst. Sam rolled his eyes and I shot my gaze to meet his as his face sunk, his mind unable to ignore my thoughts.

  “I’ll warn you one more time Sam, stay out of my head.”

  Sam smiled and turned away from me, saying something under his breath as he walked back toward the house.

  “Where are you going?” I snapped, following after him as my feet pounded the earth, threatening to crack it open.

  Sam’s wings erupted from his back as he jumped into the trees in time to avoid my angry swing, my arm slicing through nothing but air and knocking me off balance as I fell to the ground.

  “I’m going home Edgar, and if you know what’s good for you you’ll get your act together before attempting to see her. I’ll be watching you.” Sam hovered over my head before landing and placing both feet on my wrists, trapping me against the earth and taking advantage of my weakened state. “After all, she is mine to protect and I will do whatever it takes to do so. If I so much as sniff one ounce of danger from you, I will not hesitate to sacrifice all I have.”

  I struggled to get free as he once again took to the air. “Edgar, heed my words. I will be back in a day so I suggest you set up camp and get comfortable, there’s not much more you can do.” He smiled at me, “Besides, you’re going to need to acclimate yourself to those.” He pointed behind me and I looked to where he had. Shocked, I grabbed at my shoulders, seeing I had wings.

  Sam’s laughter echoed through the trees, “You should have known Edgar, though you still retain all your previous abilities, you still died saving her. You’re and angel now, and a raven.”

  I grumbled as I righted myself, sitting in a puddle of mud. I watched Sam disappear between the trees before exhaling. As much as I didn’t want to hear it, Sam was right. I had saved her but had also forgotten what sacrifice means. I still felt the raven inside me, but now this? What more did I need to test myself, was this just another way to protect her?

  Elle was something special, something different. I had been warned of the consequences of being her mate, but what could I do but leave her alone; leave her empty as I had for so long. I had kept such a close eye on her while she grew that I never expected she’d come find me.

  She had forgotten everything about our life before, which I never expected, but now, it had actually worked in our favor. The plan we had made was unfolding, the plan to take back what was rightfully ours, and to save all those that had been tortured as we had. I needed to be smart, and smart was to wait.
