Smoke floated up from where the ground disappeared, neither of us knew what to say but we needed to get her patched up before her blood destroyed anything else.
I approached her slowly, being sure to avoid her toxic life force. Her eyes met mine and she swallowed hard as she stemmed to devour my very being. They appeared heavy, as her tongue darted out past her lips, before pulling her bottom lip in and biting it ever so slightly.
My blood began to pump faster as my heartbeat sped up and a strong desire to be biting that lip myself overcame me.
Her hands came up around my neck, before ending at the nape. She curled her fingers into my hair and pulled my head down to meet hers.
Our lips collided in a moment of utter weakness, my blood was thrumming through my system and it only grew worse when she started to moan.
Her hands drifted down my back until she stroked her way past my hips and slipped her hands underneath my top.
Her hands teased their way up to my chest, tangling in the hair and tugging, before she dragged her nails all the way down to the waistband of my jeans, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.
I had to pull away, albeit reluctantly. I wanted to feel her hands and mouth owning my body, as I used my own to worship hers. We were both breathing raggedly but instead of talking about what had just happened, her eyes locked on something behind me and she set off in a run.

Unya
That kiss blew my mind, my lips were swollen and I could still taste him, it was intoxicating.
If that was just a kiss, I couldn’t wait to see what else he could do with his mouth. I could do a lot worse than to marry him, not that Adiran would agree.
It took me a few moments to recover from it, when my eyes landed on Yana being surrounded by some low life, bottom dwellers. I knew she could handle them herself, but I wasn’t going to just stand there and give them the chance to overwhelm her.
Her head shot up as I neared, but I lost sight of her when the circle of shifters drew in tighter, blocking her from my view.
“Oi shifters, back the hell up don’t make me tell you twice.”
“Oh look boys, it’s the chosen one.”
That comment got a few snickers, but all I did was arch my eyebrows daring him to say something else.
“Don’t worry about her brothers, haven’t you heard, she’s defective. She’s nothing to fear, the most she could do to us is give us a migraine for a few hours.
This self-assured cocky git was getting on my nerves, but when some of the other shifters started to restrain me, I lost my cool.
The problem was, I was so busy teaching those worthless sods a lesson, I missed the moment he impaled Yana.
My head shot up as she groaned in pain, that’s right, my little psycho doesn’t scream or cry.
In that moment I lost control, it seemed as though I would explode. My skin began to heat and it felt as though my blood was boiling. My head grew a little fuzzy as a shooting pain shot through it, causing me to throw my hands up on either side of my forehead.
I let out a scream as I thrust my arms out and a stream of fire shot out from my palms. My eyes widened in shock, how did I not know I could do this?
The problem was, I couldn’t control it. Yana had come off unscathed by my personal inferno, but the shifters weren’t so lucky.
Some had changed into their animal form and the fire ate through their fur, causing them to howl in pain.
None of the shifters escaped, except for their little ring leader. He made me so angry, that a trail of fire left me and arched out towards him.
He tried to outrun it but he just wasn’t fast enough. The fire engulfed his body and feasted on his flesh until nothing remained of him or any of the shifters, except from their charred remains.
It didn’t take Malachi long to approach me once the shifter was dead, I didn’t think a lot of him in that matter, why didn’t he try to help. I didn’t need any help, but it didn’t bode well for our future marriage.
“You took your sweet time Malachi, was this little excursion beneath you or something?”
“You didn’t give me a lot of time and I had to incapacitate a few daemons just to get to you. If you’re hoping for an apology, then it will be a long time coming.”
