Chapter 93

• "Step back."
• Rhea's voice was a low growl, a warning to the vampire elder and his followers. The air in the Council Hall was thick with tension, a conflict of wills between two species that had been enemies for centuries. The vampire elder, a terrifyingly composed man with eyes that burned like hot coals, had just presented her with a choice: join him, or die. Her fated mates, Ash, Zane, Kai, and Blaze, were still bound by Theon's guards, their rage a palpable entity that vibrated through the stone floor.
• "I will not choose," Rhea said, her eyes on the vampire elder. "I will not be a piece in your war. I will not be a piece in Theon's war. I am the Omega. I am my own person. I will choose for myself."
