Windburn (The Elemental Series #4)
“From where I stood, her eyes swirled like whirlpools of color. She Tracked someone.She swaddled the baby. “Lark, hold her for me.”Before I had a chance to protest, she thrust the child into my arms. I didn’t want to hold her. Didn’t want to feel the softness of the slowly breathing bundle in my arms and want it for myself.Elle bent and picked up her sword. “Lark, it’s time for you to go. Take her and go.”“What?” I spat the word out as I stood there holding the baby like an idiot. Elle looked at me her swirling eyes serious . . . and full of tears.“Take her, Lark.
