Chapter 118

“I don’t want the same mistake made again,” Shiarra said, her tone no longer cool but frighteningly serious. “I won’t lose Sasha the way I lost his mother, do you understand? Not the same way. Not again.”

Not again, God damn it, not again.

Nathan felt like he was choking, his throat was so tight. He knew those feelings, those hot, vibrant feelings that called to him from inside her eyes. He had felt the same way so many times.

“I swear, if you bring that fate upon my child, I will destroy every inch of you,” Shiarra growled, and Nathan couldn’t blame her, he really couldn’t. He knew just how it felt to be that angry and that scared at the same time. “I’ve heard and seen and felt all the feelings Sasha has for you…Nathan Grier. I can only hope, praythat he isn’t blindly following the same path as his parents. You promise me he isn’t. You promise me right now!”
