I blink as if coming out of a trance and give her a firm nod.
“And later, if you want me too, I can heal those scars. But if you ask me, they suit you, sexy and rough, right? I bet you’re a big teddy bear.” A soft chuckle escapes her lips.
I can hear a deep, menacing growl come from the large man's throat and Sander's snicker in response.
“That is Nesrin, and this is her mate and my Alpha, Lukas. And this here is Leila,” Sander announces, pointing out everyone around the room.
“Guys, this is Logan, Kai, Felix, and Mercy.”
Leila steps forward, her eyes narrowing in concentration as she focuses on something behind me.
“Davina is growing impatient. You must leave now,” she says.
I stare at her, shocked. “You can see her?”
Leila's intense eyes lock with mine, and I can almost feel the emotion radiating from her as she nods.
“Right, then. Let’s go,” Kai says, moving for the front door.
As we all move outside and head for the car, I notice someone leaning against the driver’s side door of my car. The moonlight bounces off a dagger as it flips gracefully in the air. Ash is standing there, her dark hair gleaming in the light.
Kai storms forward. “What are you doing here?” he snaps.
Straightening, she dismisses him and looks directly at Lukas and Nesrin, bowing to them before turning to me. “I’m here to help.”
I nod, not wasting time fighting, and move past her to get into the car. We take three cars and Davina sits in the front with me. Kai and Felix in the back.
Chapter Sixty Three
Logan
Myvisionishazyat best, blackness dancing around the edges. I wish my sight would just go, so then I wouldn’t have to look at him, his evil, sadistic grin hovering over me. Observing and analyzing each one of my reactions to determine which one produces the loudest scream.
I want to tear him to shreds, ripping each limb from his body. It’s these thoughts which kept me going. That and seeing Logan’s face again.
This demon belongs in hell, and I’m glad my brother is dead, because I would kill him myself for bringing this creature here. The demon's strength grows, and its features become increasingly grotesque and terrifying. Its skin—if you’d even call it that—has turned ashen in blotches, fingers have stretched into almost talons, the cheeks have hollowed out, and his vacant gray eyes have scarlet veins pulsating in their depths. It looks creepy as fuck as it stares back at me.
Hayley stands in the corner, her eyes vacant and her face expressionless. I think she’s given up fighting the demon who has taken her body hostage.
One of the demon’s nails drags down my stomach, and I suck in a deep breath. I feel the warmth of my blood spill over my stomach and pool under my back. I kick out with my legs, feeling the force of the impact as I connect with his face. Rearing back, he hisses at me before grabbing my leg and twisting itviolently, breaking it. I let out a loud, anguished cry, my breath coming in short, shallow gasps. His laugh is pure evil as he relishes in the sound of my screams. Tears stream down my face, and for the millionth time I wish I could shift and tear him to pieces. Whatever he’s injecting me with won’t allow it.
Suddenly, the air in the room shifts, and the demon is flung off me. Unable to do much else, I roll my head to the side to see a woman standing across the room. Her auburn hair is in a wild disarray around her head, but it’s her glowing white eyes that make my breath catch. Her hands are extended in front of her toward a white ring of magic surrounding the demon on the floor. He lunges for the woman, and I cry out only to see the demon hit an invisible barrier. The white ring on the floor vibrates and splits into another ring, then another. These rings spin around the demon as magic saturates the air. From behind the woman step two figures. One is Ash, the other a formidable black wolf. He stands tall, an intimidating figure with eyes the color of liquid gold that glints in the light. The wolf turns his head, his eyes locked on mine, and I immediately know who is here to rescue me.
‘You are safe now,’the black wolf speaks to me.
I look up at the ceiling, feeling the warmth of my tears as they slide down my face. The feeling of being found is so overwhelming that it’s beyond words.
Ash's voice rings out around us, and I roll my head back toward the group. Ash is speaking in her native tongue, her voice growing louder and louder. She approaches the demon trapped in Luna Nesrin’s magic and raises her hands to the ceiling. Before she can finish the banishing spell, a figure darts across the space, slamming into her. They roll across the dirty floor, and I catch a glimpse of Ash’s dagger. A chill runs down my spine.
“Don’t hurt her!” I scream.
Ash freezes, and Hayley snarls harshly, the sound barely human.
“She is possessed!” I shout, my voice breaking, my throat raw.
I feel a flutter in my chest and along my mental shields, and whimper. Logan is here. I hear him shout at someone, then he’s pounding down the stairs. Tears threaten to spill from my eyes again, and my throat tightens painfully as I watch him come into my line of sight.
I lie motionless on the ground, unable to move. My leg and back are broken. My body is unsure what to heal first. Logan’s gaze is fixed on the demon in the circle. Then his gaze frantically searches the dimly lit room before his eyes find me.
