Betrayed (Elesian Dragon Mates)

I’m more than thrilled with how things have changed over the last few months. We’ve learned to co-exist. In fact, living with the Bond brothers is making my life feel complete and secure.All the dragons are working with the coven and they’ve more or less become part of it. Things are easy and calm. Life is good.But there seems to be some jealousy brewing among the brothers, namely with Gavin. He feels overlooked. When I agree to spend special time with Gavin alone, the plan is cast aside because there’s unexpected trouble that must be dealt with. A fire and the deaths of two witches signal my worst fears are being realized.In the middle of preparations for battle, Gavin leaves without a word. This brings his brothers to extreme anger. Though things die down quicker than expected, and Gavin comes back I still feel uneasy. I can’t relax even though I want to more than anything.I’m finding out that the coven celebrates with an Autumn Festival every year and I desperately want to go. The event is a formal affair and I’d love to dress up to the nines and dance the night away. I’m worried that with the unrest I shouldn’t go until my Bond men invite me to go with them as their date. I can’t say no.When I wake up in the lair owned by the hideous serpent Hellith, I’m shocked. Gavin is there and he’s insisting I give up the necklace my mother gave me and he says it’s the only way we will make it out alive. I refuse. It’s my legacy and it’s my power. I can’t be without it. I won’t.But I don’t know how I’m going to escape with Gavin to get back to my coven and my men. I know they’re worried and they’ll be trying to find me. I just hope we all make it out alive. I’m too young to die and my Bond men are too. We have so much left to do and so much love to share. All I want to see is their handsome faces. To feel their hands on my bare skin would be sheer heaven. I have to believe it will happen.But will I find a way out of this predicament without having to give up my most prized possession?
