Daily quote account from A SHADOW IN THE EMBER written by Jennifer L. Armentrout | #ALITF out November 15, 2022 | @dailyfbaa

Slowly, Nyktos faced me. "What you did is impossible. An ember of life shouldn't have been enough for what you did," he breathed, searching my features as if he were looking for something. "You didn't just bring her back. You...you Ascended her."

"Maybe, but I'm still standing here."

"So be it."

I took a breath. That was all. One single, short breath, and Nyktos was on me, his hand buried in my hair, tugging my head back. He struck as fast sinking his fangs deep into the side of my throat.

"Ash?" Nektas called from the hall. "You in there?"

I stopped, my wide eyes swung to the door.

"I'm busy." Nyktos's stare remained focuses between my legs.

"With Sera?"

I choked on a breath. Exactly how good were a draken's senses?

"Nyktos is...special to us." Ice crept up the back of my neck as I held her stare. "But so are you. You are life." Her voice lowered...and I swore faint wisps of smoke wafted from her nostrils. "And that is the only reason you still breathe."

"Yeah, well, he enjoys your kind of touching," Ector stated.

Shockingly, I felt my face heat.

Nyktos turned to the god. "Do you have a death wish today?" he growled, and I began to wonder the same thing.

Millions would still die, even if I didn't have to take his life. That was no blessing. No real reprieve.

"Sera," Ash whispered.

I lifted my gaze to his, my breath seizing in my chest as his thumb swept over my cheek, chasing away a tear.

I rolled my eyes. "No one can even see me. I doubt he even knows I'm here."

Saion looked down at me, one eyebrow raised. "There is not a single part of Nyktos that doesn't know exactly where you are."

"What I was trying to say is that there is no reason to go through with this coronation. Whatever protection being crowned as your Consort offers cannot be worth it."

He slowly leaned forward. "Your safety is worth everything."

"For fuck’s sake, Sera. There is such a thing as being too bold. Too brave."

"Aren’t you tired? Let’s skip this conversation." I crossed my arms. "Especially since I’m sure we’ve already had it like five hundred times."

"But when I'm around you, the last thing I want is to be uncomplicated." Ash's lips coasted over my cheek, dragging a ragged gasp from me. "Or in control. Or decent," he said, and I shuddered at the decadent, wet flick of his tongue across my skin.

"I wasn’t running from you."

"Then what were you doing? Striving to be the most difficult person I’ve ever crossed paths with?"

"Yeah, that’s exactly it. Not that I was actually trying to save you, you jackass!"

"Are you afraid of me, then?"

"A little."

"Nyktos? The Primal of Death, afraid of a mortal girl?"

His breath teased my jaw. "I am not foolish enough to underestimate a mortal, female or not. Especially after what I just saw you do," he said.

#Nyktos #Sera #ASITE

He drew his lower lip between his teeth, and for some inane reason, my full attention was drawn to that. "I don't think that's the kind of mood you have to worry about putting me in."

#Sera #Ash #ASITE

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not, Seraphena."

"I'll be fine."

Nyktos stared straight ahead, a muscle ticking in his jaw. "My legs work," I told him, starting to wiggle, but the burst of pain stilled me, making me dizzy.

"Tell me how fine you are again."

#Sera #Nyktos #ALITF

[DailyASITE @DailyASITE]

"But I'm just a mortal--" My lungs felt as if they'd been filled with tiny holes, and Nyktos was still bowing to me. "Can you please stand or sit? Anything other than kneel? It's really weirding me out."

The tips of his fingers grazed my cheek, sending a jolt of energy across my skin. Surprised, I lifted my chin as he gathered the curls, tucking them behind my ear. "You're not a monster."

Gods, if he only knew.

Before age 21? That was...soon, Nyktos stepped forward "That's not going to happen."

"You may be a Primal," - Holland's attention shifted to him - "but you are not a Fate"

"Fate can go fuck itself," Nyktos growled.

#Holland #Sera #Nyktos #ASITE

"I don't want to harm any of them."

"No" His smile was a tight mockery. "Just me."

The veil slipped. "I didn't want to harm you either."

"Save it," he snapped, grabbing my hand.

#Nyktos #Sera #ASITE

[DailyASITE @DailyASITE]

"I'm wet."

"Fuck," he rasped, his gaze tracking the droplets of water as they coursed over my breasts, the curve of my stomach, and headed lower still, between my thighs.

My skin tingled everywhere his gaze followed. "Can you help me with that?"

#Sera #Nyktos #ASITE

Behind me Rhain chuckled. "Are you worried Daddy Nyktos will be upset with you for allowing her in here and send you to bed without your supper?"

I lifted my brow. Daddy Nyktos?
