Blood Bonds (The Bonds that Tie Book 3)

Seeing Sage slit our first Shield, Dara’s, throat and then opening the gates to the Resistance, might not be one of them.

My palms break out in a sweat.

I can handle a lot of things.

Then Gryphon sends me through a perfect image.

Tell me now. Whatever it is, tell me now.

I’m in the medical center, exactly where North told me to be. I have Gabe and Atlas with me. Kieran, Sage, and Felix are too. I’m safe

Oli, who is with you right now? Don’t say anything out loud or react, you need to be discreet.

Where are you?

I get tugged out of his arms gently, even though he doesn’t want to let me go, and Gryphon snarks at him

“Stop hogging her, you possessive shit. You have people to speak to and important councilman shit to do.”

I make a beeline to him.

The relief on his face at the sight of my dust-covered, sweaty, gross face is exactly what’s on my face as well. I don’t need to see it to know it.

I’m not sure if he’s really into PDA, but I throw myself in his direction and he catches me without hesitation, his arms tight around me as he pulls me in as closely as the laws of physics will let him.

“You really couldn’t stay somewhere safe, just to stop me from having a heart attack?”

I scoff at him, but his arms stay tight around me so I can’t move.
