Fear the Darkness (Guardians of Eternity) (42 page)

“We cannot speak now.” Her smile pierced his heart. “We must get out of here.”

Gaius frowned. “How? It’s almost dawn.”

She reached a slender hand to touch the medallion that still hung around his neck. “With this.”

Gaius pulled back. Had her slender body briefly turned to mist?

No. He gave a shake of his head. It had been a figment of his imagination.

This was Dara.

His beloved mate.

His heart couldn’t accept anything else.

“Where will we go?” he asked softly.

She offered another soul-stirring smile. “Anywhere we can be together.”

“Yes.”

Gathering her fragile body into his arms, Gaius laid his hand over the medallion and closed his eyes.
