My hand touches the field and I’m jolted, thrown clear across the path. I no longer feel pain—because my entire body sizzles with energy.
Connecting with a boulder, my body cracks and snaps, joints popping with the force.
Once I can feel my hands, I’m going to strangle that fucking monster.
Sitting up, the Hadeon steps between my legs, tilting his head. He seems to saysee?
Arching upright, my body convulses as the beast roars in my skull.No. Not yet.
The blast exhausted me, and desperately, I realize I have no energy to fight his control.
It’s a slow roll, like a tide swarming the beach. Soft, but violent, the curse rises and I’m shoved back. Before I go, I hold tight to the bond in my chest—the spark that connects me to Max. The hope she instills in me.
She is my future and like Hell will I let the curse take it. With onelast touch, I’m shoved back and the beast takes over. My eyes cool and the Hadeon steps away, sensing the shift.
Standing, the beast ignores the aches and pains, and continues on into the forest. He’s hurt and he doesn’t care about me waxing poetically about my mate. He needs blood—and he’ll find it now.
