The shaman's chant was a death knell, echoing in my mind. I closed my eyes, bracing for darkness, awaiting my end.But it never came.A jolt of energy shattered the air, and the shaman's words died between his lips. I slowly opened my eyes to find Sasha Ronoarh, the guy everyone claimed had died, the one who'd been missing for two years, declared dead. Now he was alive, his eyes locked with mine."She is..." he whispered, his voice low, a husky growl.

His breath whispered against my ear, "Mine."I heard him say, my mind reeling. What did he mean?
