My pulse was pounding in my ears, and I felt like I was going to be sick. “You’re telling me Amber is in even more danger than we thought. She’s already had been taken by Goddess knows who! And on top of that, Anyone who knows what she is will try to manipulate her into giving up her power.” “Yes,” the seer said simply, her gaze piercing. “And once her power is transferred, it will bind her to the recipient irrevocably.” My stomach twisted at the thought. Amber wasn’t just a mate to be protected—she was a living, breathing target, a prize for anyone cruel or cunning enough to exploit her. I set the tea cup down abruptly, the liquid sloshing over the rim. “Is there any way to block her power? To protect her from this?”
