Darius circled Ava slowly, studying her carefully.
"The mark confirms it," he said.
"Confirms what?" Ava asked cautiously.
He stopped in front of her.
"You are the Moonborn."
Ava shook her head.
"That's impossible."
"The Moonborn appears once every thousand years," Darius explained. "A being born with the power of the Moon Goddess."
Ava stared at him.
"You expect me to believe I'm some ancient prophecy?"
Darius gestured toward her glowing wrist.
"That mark awakened the moment your mate rejected you."
Ava's chest tightened.
Kael's face flashed in her mind.
Everything had begun the moment he broke the bond.
