Chapter 45: Serena Setter

Serena Setter

I was unsurprised when the portal took us instantly to the Craven mansion. It seemed like no matter what I did, Damien was going to find me. This time, I was going to him. And yet… if I’d had the choice, I wouldn’t. But it was Eden’s life that he was messing with. And my dad’s. I couldn’t let my family and friends suffer when there was I chance that I could save them. I was going to be the next High Priestess. Using my magic to save people was what I was supposed to do.

Eden was slumped against me, her eyes fluttering to stay awake. “Serena,” she croaked. “Come on. Don’t do this. I’m not worth you losing your mate over. Just go---” she coughed. “Go back to Macon.”

I shook my head. “I’m not going to leave you to die, Eden. You’re my best friend. And besides, if I don’t do what Damien wants…there’s a chance he won’t stop taking people from me. That includes Macon.”

“You’re absolutely right,” Damien’s voice said.
