{Ayla POV}
Everyone had left, except from Az, who now slept in the chair next to my bed.
I could not sleep, I could not stop thinking about how I will never get to fly again, never feel the wind on my face.
My thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock at the door, " come in" I murmured a red haired male entered, " I brought you some...." He was stopped mid sentence as I had him pressed against the wall with a blade to his throat I had grabbed from Az's side
" lucien" I growled in his ear.
{Azriel POV}
I had woken up from the clatter of a tray falling.
I look up to see Ayla pressing a blade to luciens throat, were the hell did she get a blade from?
Footsteps sounded in the hall as the rest of the inner circle came up stairs.
"Lucien" Ayla growled, " if you hear then where's Tamlin?" Her face had a snarl painted across it and was centimetres away from his.
" Ayla" I called out, I reached out towards her but my hand bounced of an invisible wall. She had put a shield around theme so no one could get to her.
Someone started crying by the door ,Elain, " please leave him" she sobbed towards Ayla who had her mate on the tip on a blade.
{Ayla POV}
I looked towards the sobbing girl, but the looked cost me as Lucien grabbed my arm holding the blade and twisted my arm up and over my head as my body was now facing Az, leaving the blade at my throat and my arms behind my back.
I jerked my head back head butting him in the nose, I hear a satisfying crunch as bone breaks, his hand loosens on the blade and my wrist as his had goes to his face,Grabbing the blade spinning around grabbed the arm that was not clutching his face, twisting it behind his back and so his face was against the wall, I then put the blade between my teeth, As i grabbed the other arm putting that behind his back as well, and then stamped on the back of his knees causing him to fall to the floor.
I let my shadows rap around his wrist and ankles, I drew the blade from between my teeth and once again press it against his throat and growl, " I won't ask again, where is Tamlin?"
{Azriel POV}
What the hell just happened, one minute Lucien had my blade pressed against Ayla's throat the next he was on the ground blood dripping down his face and had my blade once again pressed to his throat.
"I won't ask again, where is Tamlin?" Aylas voice was not her own, it seemed more deeper and aggressive.
" he's not here," I replied, " why do want to know where Tamlin is Ayla?"
I asked.
" so I can return the favour of him taking my wings." She said wile releasing Lucien, he got up and spat at her wile saying " bitch".
She just gave him a rude gesture that made Cassian chuckle.
{Rhysand POV}
We had came rushing up stairs to find Ayla with a blade to Luciens throat.
Now that she had released Lucien, I stepped in and said, " let's all go to bed now and talk about this tomorrow."
" there's nothing to talk about" Ayla half shouted, " I'm going to bed."
And with that she walked away and climbed into bed, we all just stud there not knowing what to do, " are you guys gonna stand there all night or are you going to go to bed." Her voice was cold but sleepy.
