It was a batshit crazy move, but Silas didn’t miss a beat. This dragon knew how to fight. The second my feet left his spine, he tucked one wing and flipped upside-down to catch me in one of his dragon hands. I threw my hands up and fired my blue flames down into the line of vampires on the snow below us. Silas’s bright-yellow eyes shined like beams of sunlight and then a stream of fire shot out of his mouth. For a few perfect seconds, we worked in perfect sync, with him killing demons above and me taking down vampires below.

‘UNSEELIE!’ Tegan screamed through my mind.

That was all the warning we had before they ambushed us from seemingly out of the darkness itself. Their silver armor flashed in the moonlight. They were everywhere. My stomach dropped. But no new tricks was our rule when we got here. I just didn’t know what that meant we could do. I threw my hands up to do something when one of them flew up from beneath Silas’s head with a dagger raised. Silas tightened his grip on me and did a barrel roll, his wing slamming into the Unseelie’s chest like this was the home run derby. The Unseelie grunted and flew back but not before slicing his dagger right through Silas’s eyebrow.

“NO!” I yelled and threw my magic right at the Unseelie’s face.

Silas flipped back upright and red blood splashed across my face. A vicious growl shook his entire body as he rained fire in every direction. I craned my neck back to try and see how bad the injury was, but I couldn’t see over his massive jaw. A wall of water shot up from the ground, separating us from the line of vampires rushing toward us from the marble palace. Silas flipped in the air and sped off in the opposite direction just as Tenn darted between demons and threw his hands out in front of him. Wind like a category one hurricane crashed into us, yet Silas just rose above the gusts like it was nothing. I curled my body, still in Silas’s grip, to watch Tenn bury each Unseelie in water bubbles like he had on the beach that day, except they weren’t drowning. They used their daggers to try to cut through his water.

The demons screeched and dive-bombed all at once.

I gasped and looked ahead of me. The demons were being chased toward me by beams of pure sunlight flying across the night sky—on the back of a dragon. My eyes widened. That was not one of Willow’s illusions. The other dragons had arrived. A gigantic black dragon with purple eyes commandeered the sky with Lily and Easton on his back, blasting fire and sunlight at our enemies while the other dragons scooped up my Coven-mates.
