«Siamo io e lui, mescolati insieme, tanto che è impossibi le capire chi siamo, eravamo o saremo l 'uno senza l 'altra.» Puoi seguire il tuo cuore pur facendo soffrire chi ami? Jaxon o Hudson, questo è il problema. E Grace non sa proprio come venirne a capo. I due fratelli vampiri sono affascinanti, letali e irresistibili, ciascuno a modo suo: se Jaxon le piace perché è ombroso e sempre pronto a proteggerla da tutto e da tutti, Hudson la attira perché è irriverente e disposto a lasciare che lei testi la propria forza. Tuttavia, le questioni d'amore non sono le uniche che la ragazza deve affrontare. Infatti, mentre cerca di fare chiarezza sui sentimenti che prova, Grace deve imparare a comprendere la sua natura di gargoyle e i suoi poteri. Un compito non semplice, soprattutto con Cyrus, il re dei vampiri, che l'ha presa di mira e si sta preparando a una guerra sanguinosa per la supremazia del mondo soprannaturale. Pur con pochi alleati fedeli e ancor minori certezze, Grace riuscirà a trovare un modo per contrastarlo? Dopo Crave e Crush, Covet è il terzo volume della straordinaria saga paranormal romance di Tracy Wolff, che ha esordito nella classifica del New York Times, confermando il grandissimo successo di questa serie bestseller, da cui presto sarà tratto un film firmato Universal Pictures.

"She can save us," he repeats. Who?" Macy asks again. He points to Grace, or more specifically, Grace's hand. "Her. Her. Her." And then he turns to stone. And, not going to lie, didn't see that coming. Just great. As everyone mills around, trying to figure out who "her" is and if there's another gargoyle around, I can't help thinking that I need to talk to Grace. Because if this is going the way I think it is which is straight to hell it's probably time I tell her what I saw that night in the laundry room all those weeks ago. I think it's time I tell her about her emerald-green string.

After about a minute, the portal ends, and I step through, expecting to find Grace and the others waiting for me. Instead, they're racing toward the school like the hounds of hell are after them. And maybe they are, considering the forest all around me is burning. Macy tumbles onto the ground behind me, and she screams as she gets her first look at the devastation burning around us. What's happening?" she demnands. I don't have a fucking clue." 

His palm slides against mine, and then he takes off running toward the entrance of the cave. What the" Jaxon tries to race after him, but I stop him. Wait! Let him go. It's okay. There's nowhere to run, and we can chase after him in a minute." But the Crown," Macy says. He gave me something, I answer, scratching at mny palm because it's suddenly burning and itching. I turn it over, and tattooed right in the center of my hand, taking up almost my entire palm, is a series of seven concentric circles in the shape of a wreath,..or a Crown. I hold my hand up for my friends to see, and as they all crowd around, I can't help asking, Now what?"

 "Give mate Crown." I whirl around to look at Hudson, and he has the same thunderstruck expression on his face that I am sure I have on mine, "She's your mate?" I ask. You want your mate to have the Crown?" He nods

The confusion only grows worse as he starts to babble. "No crown. No Crown. No crown." It's not the answer I'm expecting-not the answer any of us is expecting -and I glance back to see worry on Hudson's and JaXon's faces. Because if he doesn't have the Crown, where is it? And does that mean Cyrus can find it first? But before I can ask him about the Crown one more time just to be certain he starts to babble again. “Her crown. Her crown. Her. Must give Crown to her. Must protect her. Must protect Crown. Her." Now I really do rear back in shock, because who is her? And why does she need to be protected if she's already got the Crown?

As the last one falls away, the beast throws back his head and bellows like his life depends on it. The roar bounces off the rocky walls and ceilings, echoing throughout the cavern for several seconds. And then he shifts, and a man is standing in front of me 

Eventually, though, I'm ready to do what we came here to do, and I push myself to my feet. "I think it's time," I say, holding up the key I've "Damn straight!" Eden says, hopping to her feet right alongside me. "I can totally get behind that," Macy agrees, holding out a hand so I can Jaxon and Hudson nod, too, and then the five of us make our way along managed to hang on to through everything. "Let's go get this Crown and shove it up Cyrus's ass." pull her to her feet. the rocky ledge until we get to the entrance that leads us to the Unkillable

As soon as it touches him, it starts to pulse, the light it casts diffusing through the room until every single one of us is touched by it. Only then does it begin to spin, slowly at first and then faster and faster as it seems to drill itself right into Jaxon's pale, still chest. "Oh my God," Hudson breathes, his tone more reverent than any I have ever heard from him. "She gave him her dragon's heart." The moment the stone finishes sinking into his chest, we all wait. One beat, then two. And then Jaxon gasps. His body arches off the ground where it's been lying, and he jackknifes into a sitting position as he draws loud gulps of air into his chest.

Flint watches the shift, and his eyes go wide as his face drains of color. "No!" he screams. "Mom, no!" He pushes up, tries to get to her, but he's still weak from everything he has lost, and one of his legs is still useless. It's over in the space of one beautiful heartbeat. Nuri uses a talon to slice her chest open, then reaches inside and pulls out a glowing red jewel so big, it barely fits in her hand. Her dragon makes one long, low, keening cry of sorrow, so heavy and profound that it has all of us falling to our knees in front of this woman and her sacrifice. In a blink, she's human again. Tears are pouring down Aiden's and Flint's faces and even Eden's cheeks, as they watch her walk to Jaxon. 

Hudson falls to his knees beside his little brother, dropping his head onto Jaxon's shoulder as he grabs hold of his hand. "Somebody please tell me what the fuck I missed," Flint begs as Jaxon exhales again. Long seconds pass as we wait for him to inhale. And wait. And wait. And wait. But it never comes. "He's gone," Macy whispers as she pulls her hoodie up to drape over Jaxon's face. "How can he be gone?" She's not crying now. She just sounds..bewildered. "How did we let this happen?" Mekhi whispers, shrugging out of his OWn hoodie so he can do the same for Luca's body.

Outside, Hudson is still under fire...and still kicking ass. A rogue dragon sends a dagger of ice straight for him, but with a flick of his finger, the dagger disintegrates. And so do the dragon's wings. In the blink of an eye, ten to twelve vampires swarm him and then melt into nothingness with only a look. This is Hudson Vega, the most badass vampire in existence, and he is beyond livid. He's walking along the edge of the cliffs now, decimating anyone who

He nods, even as he stares at me with pleading eyes. "Don't leave me, okay?" "What?" "When it's done, when Flint is healed... I know I don't have the right to ask anything else of you, Grace. But please, I don't want.." He closes his eyes, as if ashamed. I don't want to die alone." I only thought my heart was broken before because, just like that, it cracks straight down the middle. "You don't have to worry about that," I promise him. "Tm not going anywhere." Behind me, Macy is sobbing full-out, and Hudson looks like he's ready to rip his father limb from fucking limb- a plan I am more than on board with. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and prepare to kill the first boy I ever loved.

He must see it on my face, must know that I'm going to refuse, because now there are tears in his eyes, too. Hudson moves to lay him down, but he grabs on to me with his left hand. "Grace," he says, and for that one moment, it's as clear and commanding as anything he's ever said to me. "If I ever meant anything to you, if you ever loved me at all, you'll do this one last thing for me." My gaze finds Hudson, and he looks as devastated as decimated as I feel. But when our eyes meet, he nods. And I know it's the right thing to do, but still. 

around him and take the pain away, but I can't even do that. I can't do anything but watch him die. "Did you hear me, Grace?" Jaxon reaches out, grabs hold of mny hand. "Take it all. Take everything inside me and save Flint." No." I shake my head as tears I didn't even realize I had left to cry spill down my cheeks. "No, Jaxon. No. Don't ask me do that. I can't. "Listen to me," he grinds out. "We both know I'm dead already. My body just hasn't hit the ground yet. Take whatever's left in me, whatever you can get, and use it to save Flint. "Jaxon, I- "Please, Grace." He squeezes my hand as tightly as he can manage. "I'm begging you. Do this for me. Please. My stomach revolts, and for a second I think I'm going to vomit. How many times can one heart shatter? How many times can I break wide open? l'd do anything Jaxon asks of me, but I can't do this. I can't kill him. Not Jaxon. Please, God. Not Jaxon.

Hudson starts to move back through the barrier, but before he can, Jaxon lands on the cliff right outside the cave entrance. He grabs on to the wall, and Macy drops her magic enough for him to stumble inside. Jaxon?" Macy gasps, reaching out. But Hudson gets there first, catching him with an arm around his waist just as Jaxon's legs give out. In a grim voice, Jaxon mutters, Fucking "What's wrong?" I ask, straining to see...and then wish I hadn't. "No," I whimper as I look at Hudson. "Don't tell me that. Please don't Cyrus." Because there are two massive bites on the side of his neck. tell me he bit him." But he did. The evidence is literally all over Jaxon. The "What do we do?" Macy gasps as her gaze darts among the three of us. "We can't fix it," Hudson growls, and he's shaking almost as badly as eternal bite. "How do we fix it?" Jaxon now. "Tm going to kill him. I swear to God, I'm going to kill that son of a bitch." "Maybe I can" I freeze, looking back and forth between Jaxon and Flint as mny worst nightmare comes true.

I reach deep inside myself and grab on to our blue string. I squeeze it as hard as I can and watch Hudson's eyes widen. And I say, "I choose you." I can see the indecision on his face, read it in his every breath. A beautiful symphony of agony and ecstasy playing across his features. He wants me, but not at the cost of killing his brother. And I love him even more for that. "It's okay." I smile at him gently. "I chose so you don't have to. Now go kick some ass so I can focus on Flint and then come back to me where you belong. We'll find another way to save Jaxon's soul. If Cyrus wants the belong. Crown this badly, I'm betting fixing a soul is the least it can do."

even though it could very well crush his soul, he's going to save us all. He's going to go out there and be the person he needs to be. Not for me. Because of me. The same way he makes me want to be the best version of myself because of him. And that's why I know what I have to do. I can't break our bond just because Jaxon needs me. Yes, I hate the idea of him suffering for something that wasn't his fault, for losing his soul over something he never had any control over. But we'll find another way. Because this beautiful boy standing in front of me has never asked anything of me for himself. And he deserves the best of me now. Just as I deserve the boy I love.

He tries to dodge, but it's too late. The bolt slams straight into the center of his chest.

"Tm here," Jaxon says as he fades to the mouth of the cave. And oh my God. I thought Jaxon looked bad before? As he stares down at Flint, the agony etched in his hollowed features grows exponentially. He thrusts his arm at me, shaken, his gaze never leaving Flint's leg. "Take whatever you need" I don't think twice. I just grab on to him and channel and channel and channel, even as I keep my other hand on Flint's leg, sending some into Flint, filling my tattoo with the rest. "Is it too much?" I ask after a minute, because Jaxon's looking mighty gray.

His leg is sliced open from ankle to past the knee, all the way to the bone. His foot is barely attached to his leg, and blood is pumping out froma severed artery in his leg so fast, it can't even soak into the sand. Instead, his life is pooling all around him in a sticky, sandy, bloody mess and I knowI know I can't save him. No one can. I can heal, but not this. Never anything like this. It's too much. It's just too much. I turn to Hudson, who looks as shaken as I feel, but he grabs my arm and says, "Take whatever you need." I don't know what I need, don't know how much power I'd have to find to possibly counteract this. But I'm running out of time to think. I have do something, or Flint is going to die. My heart is pounding in mny chest and my hands are shaking so badly, I can barely hold on to Hudson. But I do. For Flint.

"It's not okay," I tell him. "None of this is okay." "Oh, Grace." He pulls me close, strokes a hand down my cheek as he presses kisses to my temple. "I told you a long time ago that I'd never ask you to choose. Nothing's changed." "Everything's changed!" I tell him, and for the girl who used to never be able to cry in front of anyone, I've sure changed my tune. "You wouldn't ask because you thought I wouldn't pick you. But I would. I would pick you, Hudson. If there was any other way, I would choose you. Ilove you. "Well, shite," he says, looking away but not before I can see tears glistening on his own cheeks. "I always knew you were going to crush me one day, Grace. I just didn't know that.." You were going to crush me, too?" Don't say that." He shakes his head, pulls me even closer, and his voice nearly breaks as he says, "I can let you go. I can watch you build a life with my brother. I can even come by every once in a while and be fun Uncle Hudson. But don't tell me that you hurt the way I do, Grace. Don't tell me that. Because I wouldn't wish this on anyone

Suddenly, a scream sounds behind us, followed by a familiar voice yeling,I told you I felt magic over here!" I whirl around in time to catch Macy as she throws herself into my arms,

Remy grins. "A promise is a promise." He holds his hand out, and a red ball of power glows right in the center of his palm. He throws it straight up in the air before lifting his arm above his head and circling his hand. The ball loosens up, becomes a bigger and bigger spiral above all our heads until it covers the whole ceiling. Once it does, Remy stares straight at me and winks. And the red spiral whirls around Flint, Calder, Hudson, and me, spinning like a top for several beats. And out of nowhere, the bracelets fall right off our wrists and land at our feet. Flint whoops and hollers the second he realizes he's free, then shoots a stream of fire straight down the hallway.

Remy's exists only in my arm captured by the tattoo that's so bright now, it's practically blinding as it swirls and dances up and down my biceps and forearm. "Okay, here we go," I say. And then I breathe in. Hold it for several long seconds. And when I breathe out, I channel his magic out with the air. I send it spinning across the space between us, arcing it straight into him like an arrOW. He must feel it, because his head falls forward, his entire body bowing as
