Free Enchanting the Alpha (Hex My Heart, #4) by Talina Perkins

dangled the cuffs from her finger with a wicked glint to her new baby blues that gave away all the wicked little ideas she had playing in her mind. She picked one particular fantasy and focused on the image. His face lit up and a deep growl came in response to the image he saw.
    Five seconds in and she already loved how this mated thing already suited them.
    His mouth curled up into a wicked smile. “I think we can work something out, my playful witch.”
    Her magick hummed along the surface of her skin to coil around them. Caden pulled her closer and rested his forehead against hers, at ease with her powers as much as she was with his. “You, my darling Harmony, have given me the best gift of all and have captured my heart in return.”
    Absolutely nothing could go wrong from here on out. Her world was complete.
    She sat up, pushing him to the side.
    “Harmony. Harmony McKenna.” The female voice jarred her.
    Harmony swung around to face the door. “How many damn Harmonys do you think there are here, Marabelle?”
    Caden pulled them both from the bed and quickly wrapped a sheet around her first and then himself.
    Harmony threw open the door to find her sister bent over, clasping her knees, dragging in air and not really making any progress with her attempt.
    “Marabelle, what’s wrong, what happened?” Flashes, of jewel-colored dragons, black smoke, and blood flitted across her mind.
    Oh, goddesses... Her eyes widened. “Tell me, Marabelle. Tell me everything.”
    “I... well, I kinda mighta played with magick and it backfired. Sorta. I got my powers back.” Marabelle proceeded to call on her powers to form a ball of fire similar to her own display earlier. “Whatcha think?”
    “No way! That’s amazing.” She tucked the end of her sheet between her breasts and threw her arms around her sister in a big hug.
    “Yeah, well, the High Council knows and I need to leave town. Like yesterday.” Marabelle pulled back, her hands on Harmony’s bare shoulders.
    “That was fast. Almost like they were waiting for it to happen. And the dragons I see? The blood? What’s that about, Marabelle?”
    Marabelle froze, her face blank with no clue to what she was talking about or she was unwilling to give the details. She’d bet on the latter. Either way, something told her this did not bode well.
    Two men walked in, their heads held high, and they immediately zeroed in on Caden. She could tell they were shifters, alphas by the amount of energy they exude. They held Caden’s gaze for a brief second before they came to a silent understanding. This whole mated thing would take some getting used to on that level.
    “What do you need from me? What can I do to help?”
    “I have no idea what you saw, but you need to kill me, with this.” Marabelle held out a two-foot silver-tipped dagger. “And you need to make it look like they did it.”
    She was suppose to be a clairvoyant, but did anything pop into her head about this? Hades no. Just like she never thought she’d add murder to her growing list of offenses the High Council could hold against her. And don’t get her started on the human side of the law.
    She took the blade and turned the cold metal handle in her hands. The lethal tip gleamed with each pass, but it was the dragon-headed handle that held her spellbound. Darkness formed over her vision as her energy united with the blade.
    Slowly Harmony raised her head and held her sister’s gaze. “Your death may lead to another war even greater than the last. Can you handle the weight of that burden?”
