"Zephyr needs me," she said. "I'm the one who saved her. I'm the one who knows how to keep her alive. So yes, Avalon, I think this is exactly the time."

"What you agreed to?" Osilus repeated. "Avalon, what is she talking about?"
I needed her to stop, maybe threaten her if necessary. "Valta please. Just give me a moment."
Something in my voice must have convinced her, because she sighed and stood. "Fine but make it quick. Your mate doesn't have much time."
