Chapter 196- Magic

• I immediately take a step towards Selene, but Blaise lazily waves his hand and a line of sentries crosses the floor between us, forming a human barricade between myself and my mate.

If I so chose, I could barrel through the shifters dividing us with little issue, but I’m sure that’s exactly what Blaise wants. He wants to distract me, he wants to use Selene against me.

Twins, I think again, in awe of how much my wife has been through these last few weeks, and amazed by the miracle she’s embodying.
• When our eyes meet, I can see her determination so clearly it’s staggering. Nothing I say now is going to convince her to leave, even if it means she’s in for the spanking of a lifetime when this is all over – which I can say with good authority, she is.
