Serena

“You’re biting off more than you can chew, Nevannir,” I hurriedly said. “I’ve always thought of you as an intelligent man. I never expected you to be delusional too.”

“I’m a visionary, Priestess Serena, and my visions see you by my side as my queen,” he finalized.

“Return me to my body, now,” I ordered, my ears done with hearing his delusions.

He tsked and shook his head slowly, “I’m afraid I can’t.”

His eyes became hooded, finally showing the darkness in his soul. Instant chills crept up my nape. I expected him to be righteous, but it seemed his definition of righteousness differed from the normal. Fuck.

“You will have to stay here until King Aero butchers Geraden, Queen Adna, and the rest of the High Elders,” he went on. “He’ll do the dirty work for me.”

I hauled in a deep, confident breath.

“Yes, he would kill them, make no mistake in that,” I said sharply, “but he’ll also figure out I’m trapped in this plane. He’ll come to rescue me and your pathetic little charade will be over.”

He scoffed in response.

“I wouldn’t be too confident, Serena. To address your mate bond with that wolf, I already created a plan. The fae army will slaughter him and all of Phanteon. Once he’s dead, you will be free and I can undoubtedly possess you.”

This time, my anger really did spike up.

“Hmf, you’re not only delusional but psychotic too,” I lashed, my knuckles turning white. First, Geraden. Second, Sofia. Now, him. Great.

“Release the fae army from their eternal sleep, Priestess,” he stated, pointing to the live statues spread as much as my eyes could see.

I sneered at him. “You honestly think I’ll do that?”

“Hm-hmmm,” the sudden sing-song sound he produced caused my brow to arch. “I figured you’d say such,” he continued, smiling, just as he pulled out something under his clothing.
