As he walked away, I concentrated quickly, and with the added power of my raging dragon, I put up a wall made of clear magic. Gabriel instantlystopped.
“Please don’t go anywhere until we sort this out,” I growled. “We can sleep on it, talk about it in themorning- “
“Did you just try to trap me in here with you with magic?” Gabriel asked without looking at me. His backfacedme.
Realization dawned on me. Instantly I knew what I’d done. I’d made what was already bad worse -horriblyso.
I’d tried to keep Gabriel here with a wall - the same walls I’d rescued him from inStoneheartpack.
My magic was already waning. “Gabe, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.” I stepped towards him. “You know I’d do anything for you. You’re myfatedmate.”
Suddenly, he turned. His eyes were wide with an emotion I couldn’t read. Unblinking, he stared at me for a moment before turning and shattering the weakened wall with his own clearmagic.
He stormed off, stomping on the shattered translucentpieces.
I didn’tfollow.
