Sacred Spite

by Nadia Heaton

  Her step faltered. The music went on, but Lisette had come to a shaky halt. What was she doing? She didn’t love Teo, not anymore. Despite her best attempts to pretend otherwise, her relationship with him had gone just like these things always went for her. She’ fallen for him, and then her feelings had faded.

  The music went on, but some of the guests were murmuring to each other, staring hard at Lisette. She tried to force her feet forward, but they wouldn’t go. She couldn’t go forward, and she couldn’t stay here. There was only one thing to do – the thing she’d been wanting to do all day, if she was being honest with herself.

  Lisette turned on her heel and ran.

  One of the guests – some family member of Teo’s whose name she didn’t remember – stood up to intercept her, but he was pushed back by a strong gust of wind that came out of nowhere. Lisette didn’t know if it had been Fleur or Tristan who conjured the wind up in the still church, but she was grateful.

  Pulling her skirts up in her hands so that she didn’t fall, Lisette ran. No one followed, no doubt thanks to her sisters. She sped into the parking lot and kept running. Lisette was panicking now. She had to get away. What was she going to say to everyone? They were all waiting for her, and she’d just turned around and disappeared on them.

  She had to get out of here, but she didn’t have the keys to the car that had brought her here. Bethany had those, and Bethany couldn’t magic them into Lisette’s pocked. Besides, Lisette probably wasn’t capable of driving in this dress or these shoes anyway.

  Her dress and veil streamed out behind her, and Lisette was supremely grateful that they’d booked a church with a large surrounding estate for the wedding, which meant there were no strangers going about their day to witness this.

  Unsure about what else to do, Lisette ran.

  About the Flames of the Sea Series

  This intense paranormal romance series is set under the sea near a submerged volcano whose supernatural magma is a power source for fire witches. There’s also plenty of action in a cave where an eternal ice stalactite is a power source for sea vampires.

  These two groups hate each other immediately. Clashes and battles keep them apart - unless love can sneak in and show them how they can work together or at least co-exist.

  If you missed Book One, Destined to Drown, you can find out how it all began.
