OFF TO THE SEA NEST

We arrived at the villa and found Elder Zaya and Mrs. Hemming pacing around in the living room.

" What is the matter?" I demanded their eyes widened and they stared at Asheral who stood behind me waiting.

" Haid has gone back to the nest," Elder Zaya announced.

My body was on high alert as I pushed our mating bond and felt the panic in her mind.

" Take me with you, " Asheral pleaded.

I nodded as we rushed to the villa exit by the sea and dove into the water. I was surprised when Asheral shifted into a black serpent but I was too concerned with Haida that I chose to ask her about it later.

We arrived at the next barrier and the notable view of the missing Ricin herb was evident. I pushed my power and the barrier gave way and we swam right in. By the time we landed on the pearl, I never looked back as I moved forward and when I got there Haida was in tears as the eggs hatched.
