~ CASIMIR ~
At first when she went still and I took the first step back into an entirely new life, fury was still my fuel. My hands shook, but my bones thrummed with power and adrenaline and sheer thrill.
I could barely breathe. Yet my body had never felt stronger.
I took another step back, then another, taking in the carnage of the room… inhaling the scent of blood.
Two bodies.
My brother.
My love- no, the female who had betrayed me.
Both of them, I reminded myself. They were both traitors. Both self-serving, two-faced liars.
There was a flash in my head of Sheba curled up in my bed, her head on my shoulder, laughing at something I had said, her hand stroking my chest-
I staggered back two more steps as the world began to spin.
My father's voice became a hurricane in my head as I watched the female I had started to think I would mate bleed out on the floor.
