Crossing a Threshold

Somehow Nedra knew that he had a mate. Zagan didn't know how, but there was no way that her bringing up that supposed notation in a book was a coincidence. There was also no way that she could know about Penelope, so he wasn't sure what was happening, but he didn't like it.

Zagan stalked through the castle up toward his office and stopped at the door where the Luna and Winter were staying. Was Penelope Winter his answer to ending this immortal life? Perhaps he should just walk in and have her do it now—jump start his heart so that he could end it all. That was his initial reason for seeking these alyko, wasn't it?

He rested one palm flat against the wood, imagining the female who was on the other side. If he found himself craving her like he had before, she wouldn't even have a chance to kill him because he would likely drain her of the remaining blood in her body first.
