Scarlet stepped back and…Smack! The sound echoed through the Sanctuary. Pain raced across my cheek. Anger flared in those emerald eyes of hers. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "How dare you? I marry whoever I want to, and that person won't be you."
Her statement pricked at me like tacks. She could refuse and tell herself that but, she belonged to me. I tried to hold her hand.
She smacked it away. "Don't touch me."
The atmosphere grew humid. No breeze was anywhere to be found. Scarlet glared at me as I did her. This was not the right place for this. Wind and the others have not emerged. I knew for a fact that they sensed us here.
"Wolfie?"
That nickname was given to me by one person. I did not turn around to face Kyleon. He should be in Redwood. I never suspected he would come home.
