I open the door, not even bothering to knock, and am blinded by the bright sun streaming in.How the fuck is he able to be in this room?
“You’re going to need my help getting Lumi to fall in love with you again,” he says from the shadows.
“Like hell I am,” I growl back, waving my hand and immediately covering the expansive windows with thick curtains.
“Impressive, but it’s not going to impress Lumi.”
“It did before,” I snarl.
“That was before you took the one thing that was important to her away from her.”
“You’ve controlled her, too.”
Nyx smirks. “Never. She controls me, not the other way around.”
I shake my head. “I watched you control her, you motherfucker. Don’t fuck with me.”
“It was different. And every time I’ve tried to control her, I’ve fixed it immediately, so she has all the control. With you, you control her wolf and who she chooses in the marking ceremony.”
I’m going to kill him myself. But that’s probably the bastard’s plan—taunt me for the rest of my days. He knows that if I kill him, Lumi will never forgive me. And for some reason, he has a death wish.
Suddenly, I feel the familiar snowflake flurry in my head that tells me she’s searching for our bond and about to speak to me.
“Does he need blood?”Lumi asks.
“Lumi wants to know if you need any fucking blood,” I shout at him.
Nyx smiles again in that twisted way. “Does she?”
“Well, do you?”
“Yes, but I’m not going to drink any.”
I grab the covers, climbing into bed. I need sleep if I’m going to have a chance of dealing with him in a couple of hours.
“Did you tell her?”
“I’m not your personal telephone to communicate between the two of you.”
“It seems like you are.”
“She cut her connection off with you. She chose me!”
“Fine,” he whines.
I huff, closing my eyes, knowing that if I can just calm down for two seconds, I’ll be out. I need sleep. We all do. I’ll deal with him after I’ve gotten the two hours of sleep I’m allowed before Lumi demands we all get up to try and figure out how to solve the curse.
“You dreaming about her?”Nyx suddenly says in my head.
“What the hell? Get out!” I scream, slamming my walls down hard to block him out of my head. This is going to be hell. I need to figure out how to permanently block him from my head.
“Is she asleep? No, don’t answer that. I know she’s not asleep because you haven’t answered her question. So every minute that you are stubborn is another minute she doesn’t get to sleep.”
I growl. “How the hell are you in my head?”
“Not sure. I hate it here. Too hot. Too volatile. Like you’re a volcano about to explode at any moment.”
“I’m perfectly in control.”
