A murmur went through the crowd as sharp eyes caught another strand of green curling through the air - anchored to Zephyr , flickering like a living vine . Ardenia's hand tightened . The vine shivered , then moved . It slithered through the air and wrapped itself around Zephyr's body , alive and unrelenting . Quincy frowned . " What are you doing ? " Ardenia's eyes never left Zephyr . " Someone has been drugging my mates and pinning it on me . When I awakened my ability , I pulled out a thread of my psionic energy . I remembered the scent of the aphrodisiac .

My energy follows it , and it led me straight to him . " Zephyr's face drained of color . " You're lying ! " he shouted , his voice cracking . 3 Austen
