Chapter 14

The switch from hungry Lucas to angry Lucas stopped her heart with how fast it was, a change that boggled the mind. Then there was no more time to think as they moved, and Nora could only hang on as his body covered hers before they were straightening up. Dazed, she looked into his eyes, molten black with intent. He lowered his head, whispering only one instruction in her ear.

“Stay here. Don’t run away. Trust me. Please.”

Then he was gone, his absence taking the warmth with him until she was cold all over and struggling to wrap her mind around what was happening. That cold turned icy at the figure at her side, recognizable. If anything, that only sent her body close to fleeing before she remembered Lucas’s words and told herself to listen to him. With a swallow, Nora wrapped her arms around herself, keeping covered and highly aware of her lack of underwear. She turned a wary glance at Geremy. There was a protective shell of shimmer around them and blurry sparks outside, but he was calm as a lake in his black robes and focused ahead.

Her gaze flew to Lucas as his scales came out, body moving in a blur and running towards another figure. They rolled to the ground, two forces attempting to knock each other down and cracking the pavement with the force of it.

“That’s the start of the first challenge, Miss Rivers. I have decided to make it a spontaneous one, with neither prepared—Lucas from a party and Daniel from a bar, both unaware until this moment.”

Blocks of bricks flew towards Lucas when he flattened Daniel. His wings snapped up to stop them from hitting him, but the grunt indicated there was damage. More bricks came at him in fast and hard motions, the blur creating dust particles until it covered them up. With a heave, Nora pushed against the hedge and attempted to cross the shimmering cove again but was powerless when some other force rooted her in place.
