  In the blink of an eye, Dakota was inches from Shane, his hand gripping the back of Shane’s neck.

  He twisted, escaping the grip and slamming his fist into Dakota’s cheek. After recovering from the move, he braced himself for another attack.

  “You know, being inside his head”—Dakota tapped his fingertips to his temple—“I am privy to all of his thoughts and memories. Seems you always had a hard-on for the Sorceress, didn’t you? Even after you two became buddies, you still hoped she’d end up with you.”

  Dakota moved toward him.

  “Not true, I moved on. Dakota knew that.”

  “Did he? Because from where I’m standing, he never trusted you.”

  Shane ground his teeth together. “You’re a liar.”

  Dakota shrugged, stalking toward Shane as a predator sized up its prey. “I guess we’ll never know. I bet your Sorceress will grieve your death, won’t she?”

  Dakota crossed the distance between them and pressed his hand to Shane’s chest, just above his heart.

  Pain surged through him, freezing him in place. His body felt like it was on fire as invisible flames climbed up his body and centered on his heart.

  “I know she is a healer, but tell me, Fighter, can she heal you if your heart is ripped from your chest?”

  Shane’s breath caught in his chest as his heart rate picked up. Sweat beaded on his forehead and spots swam in his vision.

  Off to the side, Violetta stood in a gown of pale pink. She smiled, and lifted a pale hand in greeting.

  A tear slipped down Shane’s cheek as Dakota ripped his hand from Shane’s chest.

  After a brief moment, the pain was gone, replaced with an overwhelming sense of peace. Shane fell to his knees, the jarring motion shaking more tears from his eyes. As he began to fall back, Violetta appeared beside him, bathed in beautiful moonlight.

  “Come with me, my love,” Violetta said softly, extending her hand to him.

  Shane took it, and everything went black.
